Subject: SB1056 Day of Action

Hi Leslie,

Join Us for a Statewide Day of Action to Stop the California Preemption Bill Tuesday, August 8th

On June 28th, 2006, despite thousands of letters in opposition, the Assembly Agriculture committee voted unanimously in favor of SB1056, the California preemption bill that takes away local government authority over seeds. If this bill passes into law, it will override future restrictions on genetically engineered crops and seeds, as well as all other local regulation of seeds. Since the bill passed through committee, it will now head for a full Assembly floor vote. This is our chance to stop the bill in the Assembly and to let our Senators know that we are opposed in the event that it reaches them!

We are asking you to join us in doing two things:

1. Write your state Senate and House Assembly members. Add your own comments to the sample letter provided and email it to your state Senator and Assembly member. If for any reason your elected officials are not reachable via email, you will be given the opportunity to download your letters to print and mail via post. If their addresses do not appear on your letter, you can look them up on the online action page.

2. Call your State Senator and Assembly member on August 8th and ask them to oppose SB 1056. You will be taken to a page where you can look up phone numbers for your elected officials after your email is sent or you have downloaded your letters. If your representative is already opposed to the bill, it is also worthwhile calling to thank them for their support.

Please join us and our coalition member the True Food Network on August 8th to stop this bill!
