Want this too?

18 people want a ballot initiative for mandatory labelling of GMO foods in Arizona for November 2012.

Click on the black, "Ask For It," icon in this post, and cast a vote. If enough people click on the button www.scrapbook.com will devote money and legal resources to make this happen.

Consumers have a right to know what’s in their food, especially concerning products for which health and environmental concerns have been raised. Vermont has already introduced a Genetically Engineered Food Act.

Drex - It seems you and I want the same thing. Here is how we can start a ballot initiative:

ative_Referendum_and_Recall.pdf


SUMMARY:
1. We form a committee and pay $500,
2. Have a lawyer draft the law draft something like the California attachment BELOW.
3. We collect approximately 172K signatures from Arizona registered voters.

If you are truly interested I was hoping you could confirm with your counsel. I heard you know a good lawyer. As a starting point, here is California's,CALIFORNIA RIGHT TO KNOW GENETICALLY ENGINEERED FOOD ACT. I think we can look at this proposed law as a starting point for Arizona.....?

I could work on pulling together volunteers from my connections with large group of backyard chicken farmers & Weston A Price Foundation, Millions against Monsanto, and a large network of Arizona yoga studios to set up signature booths.

I am NOT political, but this is something, I believe the world needs. Let it begin with us.

I know that this request has NOT gone viral, but this is a cause I believe in and I hope you do too.

BTW - part of the reason it isn't viral, is that no one on can vote on my post with just one click. They are forced to register before they can vote. There are 44 people who have made comments on my 'Ask for It" post on facebook.

Hope you read this......
