 Tom Vilsack is a sneaky rascal isn't he? (I'm being much too polite.) The =
Iowa Chapter owes an apology to all good environmentalists for endorsing Vi=
lsack's re-election as Iowa governor in 2002.

So why did I just contribute $200 to the Iowa Chapter through the Sierra Cl=
ub Foundation? I contributed in gratitude to Wally Taylor, who did legal wo=
rk for free on a lawsuit I brought in 2002 to stop a bad road project in De=
s Moines. (The ML King Parkway expansion through Waterworks Park.)

Recently, Wally invited me to serve as the Iowa Chapter treasurer. I had to=
 turn that down, so, to compensate a little, I made this financial contribu=
tion. If my budget permits, I hope to do more for the Chapter in the future=
.=20

Sorry if this is embarrassing to you, Wally. That is not my intent. You are=
 an Iowa Chapter hero.=20

Happy New Year all!

#regenerate!=20
Dear Organic Consumer,=20
In 2001, the biotech industry named Tom Vilsack (now USDA Secretary of Agri=
culture) =E2=80=9CGovernor of the Year,=E2=80=9D thanks to his loyal suppor=
t of Monsanto and all things GMO.=20

Vilsack is determined to live up to that dubious honor. In January, he will=
 hold an invitation-only meeting, between industry and consumer groups, to =
=E2=80=9Cforge a compromise=E2=80=9D on GMO labeling.
But there is no compromise between mandatory and voluntary labeling laws. I=
t=E2=80=99s one or the other. What Vilsack really plans to do is this: ever=
ything in his power to permanently legalize the right of Monsanto and Big F=
ood to deceive consumers.
We still need to raise $85,000 by midnight December 31, to take advantage o=
f a matching funds challenge from Mercola.com and Dr. Bronner=E2=80=99s. Yo=
ur donation will help us keep up the pressure on Monsanto and Big Food, and=
 take back our food and farming systems. Please make a donation online, by =
U.S. mail or by calling our office=E2=80=94details here.=20
Vilsack recently told reporters he=E2=80=99s concerned about =E2=80=9Cchaos=
 in the market=E2=80=9D if more states pass mandatory GMO labeling laws lik=
e Vermont=E2=80=99s. He also trotted out the tired old tune that requiring =
food companies to label GMO ingredients will cause drastic increases in foo=
d prices.=20
What =E2=80=9Ccompromise=E2=80=9D will Vilsack likely propose in his back-r=
oom confab? A voluntary labeling scheme involving QR codes=E2=80=94fancy ba=
rcode technology requiring consumers to have smart phones.=20
Never mind the ridiculous argument that printing four words on a label will=
 cost food companies more than setting up fancy smart-phone technology that=
 links to websites. We know what QR codes are really about. They=E2=80=99re=
 about making it as difficult as possible for consumers to find out if the =
food they are buying has been genetically modified, or contains genetically=
 engineered ingredients.
That Vilsack even has to call this emergency meeting is a testament to you,=
 and everyone else who has fought so hard for the basic right to know. Mons=
anto thought it would be easy to ram a preemption bill through Congress.  T=
hanks to you, it wasn=E2=80=99t.
With your help, we will come back in January as strong as ever, to protect =
states=E2=80=99 rights to pass mandatory GMO labeling laws. We will make it=
 crystal clear to every member of the U.S. Congress: Consumers will settle =
for nothing less than mandatory labeling laws.
But requiring food companies to label GMOs is just one battle in a much lar=
ger war. That=E2=80=99s why, in 2016, we will introduce new campaigns that =
will shed more light on Monsanto=E2=80=99s role in factory farms, in the et=
hanol scam, in global warming. We will mobilize millions of consumers to en=
gage in policy battles that will go well beyond GMO labeling. Policy battle=
s that will put an end to subsidizing the corporations that poison and poll=
ute.=20
Only about 20 percent of GMO crops grown in the U.S. go into food. The othe=
r 80 percent are used to feed animals imprisoned in factory farms, or to ma=
ke fuel. Billions of tax dollars=E2=80=94your dollars=E2=80=94are used to s=
ubsidize these degenerative crops. Crops that are grown with millions of to=
ns of toxic chemicals. Crops that pollute our waters, degrade our soils, de=
stabilize our climate.=20
There=E2=80=99s a better way. The fact is, small farmers already grow 70 pe=
rcent of the world=E2=80=99s food. We don=E2=80=99t need Monsanto. What we =
need is to support those farmers who grow the food we actually need, using =
techniques that restore, renew, rebuild and regenerate=E2=80=94our soils, o=
ur health, our economies, our climate.
This is our mission. This is our challenge. Win or lose the labeling battle=
, we need you in this fight.
If you can help us raise an additional $85,000 so we can reach our $250,000=
 goal by midnight December 31, Mercola.com and Dr. Bronner=E2=80=99s will p=
itch in to bring our total year-end fundraising to $500,000.  You can help =
us keep the momentum going by making a generous donation online, by U.S. ma=
il or by calling our office=E2=80=94details here.=20

Thank you!

<div>Dear Organic Consumer,&nbsp;</div>








<div>In 2001, the biotech industry named Tom Vilsack (now USDA Secretary of=
 Agriculture) =E2=80=9CGovernor of the Year,=E2=80=9D thanks to his loyal s=
upport of Monsanto and all things GMO. <a target=3D"_blank" href=3D"http://=
salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=3D2&amp;c=3D5n0RNyPFRt9dCttdiC6B7OIIwM=
%2BK9r1k"><img alt=3D"" src=3D"http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/o/50865/images/o=
ca-year-end-2015-165k-280.png" align=3D"right" border=3D"0" height=3D"187" =
hspace=3D"10" vspace=3D"10" width=3D"280"></a></div>








<div>Vilsack is determined to live up to that dubious honor. In January, he=
 will hold an invitation-only meeting, between industry and consumer groups=
, to =E2=80=9Cforge a compromise=E2=80=9D on GMO labeling.</div>








<div><b>But there is no compromise between mandatory and voluntary labeling=
 laws</b>. It=E2=80=99s one or the other. What Vilsack<i> really</i> plans =
to do is this: everything in his power to permanently legalize the right of=
 Monsanto and Big Food to deceive consumers.</div>








<div><b>We still need to raise $85,000 by midnight December 31, to take adv=
antage of a matching funds challenge from Mercola.com and Dr. Bronner=E2=80=
=99s. Your donation will help us keep up the pressure on Monsanto and Big F=
ood, and take back our food and farming systems. <a target=3D"_blank" href=
=3D"http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=3D2&amp;c=3DsDZ4%2F%2FV2ERr=
O47eHnyKUo%2BIIwM%2BK9r1k">Please make a donation online, by U.S. mail or b=
y calling our office=E2=80=94details here.</a></b><a target=3D"_blank" href=
=3D"http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=3D2&amp;c=3DFIpTcJ5N3ZnkJt9=
Fdnp99%2BIIwM%2BK9r1k">&nbsp;</a></div>








<div>Vilsack recently told reporters he=E2=80=99s concerned about =E2=80=9C=
chaos in the market=E2=80=9D if more states pass mandatory GMO labeling law=
s like Vermont=E2=80=99s. He also trotted out the tired old tune that requi=
ring food companies to label GMO ingredients will cause drastic increases i=
n food prices.&nbsp;</div>








<div><b>What =E2=80=9Ccompromise=E2=80=9D will Vilsack likely propose in hi=
s back-room confab? A voluntary labeling scheme involving QR codes=E2=80=94=
fancy barcode technology requiring consumers to have smart phones.&nbsp;</b=
></div>








<div>Never mind the ridiculous argument that printing four words on a label=
 will cost food companies more than setting up fancy smart-phone technology=
 that links to websites. <b>We know what QR codes are really about. They=E2=
=80=99re about making it as difficult as possible for consumers to find out=
 if the food they are buying has been genetically modified, or contains gen=
etically engineered ingredients.</b></div>








<div>That Vilsack even has to call this emergency meeting is a testament to=
 you, and everyone else who has fought so hard for the basic right to know.=
 Monsanto thought it would be easy to ram a preemption bill through Congres=
s. &nbsp;Thanks to you, it wasn=E2=80=99t.</div>








<div><b>With your help, we will come back in January as strong as ever, to =
protect states=E2=80=99 rights to pass mandatory GMO labeling laws.</b> We =
will make it crystal clear to every member of the U.S. Congress: Consumers =
will settle for nothing less than mandatory labeling laws.</div>








<div><b>But requiring food companies to label GMOs is just one battle in a =
much larger war. That=E2=80=99s why, in 2016, we will introduce new campaig=
ns that will shed more light on Monsanto=E2=80=99s role in factory farms, i=
n the ethanol scam, in global warming. We will mobilize millions of consume=
rs to engage in policy battles that will go well beyond GMO labeling. Polic=
y battles that will put an end to subsidizing the corporations that poison =
and pollute.&nbsp;</b></div>








<div>Only about 20 percent of GMO crops grown in the U.S. go into food. The=
 other 80 percent are used to feed animals imprisoned in factory farms, or =
to make fuel.<b> Billions of tax dollars=E2=80=94your dollars=E2=80=94are u=
sed to subsidize these degenerative crops.</b> Crops that are grown with mi=
llions of tons of toxic chemicals. Crops that pollute our waters, degrade o=
ur soils, destabilize our climate.&nbsp;</div>








<div>There=E2=80=99s a better way. The fact is, small farmers already grow =
70 percent of the world=E2=80=99s food. <b>We don=E2=80=99t need Monsanto. =
What we need is to support those farmers who grow the food we actually need=
, using techniques that restore, renew, rebuild and regenerate=E2=80=94our =
soils, our health, our economies, our climate.</b></div>








<div>This is our mission. This is our challenge. Win or lose the labeling b=
attle, we need you in this fight.</div>








<div><b>If you can help us raise an additional $85,000 so we can reach our =
$250,000 goal by midnight December 31, Mercola.com and Dr. Bronner=E2=80=99=
