Leslie Interviewed by
Leslie speaks about the CA Ballot Initative Right to Know Label GMO Food on Mexico TV. The Reporter was asking about what I thought about Tecate. I had good things to say. More about what I said later....
Leslie Plants Dreams with the Secretary of Agriculture for Tecate that
Everyone Grow Some Food
One of the highlights of my day was planting dreams for Food Growing in Tecate. The Secretary and I had a great positive conversation about every one growing some of their own food. Because he worked for the Government, we wanted to follow up on support for the CA Right to Know Label GMOs. He said they could support alternatives be known and promoted, but could not directly support the initiative because they had to be open to all kinds of agricultural interests.

Yesterday, I went to the World Environment Day sponsored by the http://www.facebook.com/fundacion.lapuerta.1
My intention was to get endorsements for the CA Right to Know Label GMOs Campaign. The results were profound and extraordinary. I want to work with these endorsements before I step forward with June 10, another powerful day of healing. I interact with the Orthodox Jewish Community today, planting Sacred Seeds of Kamut (R) to Grow a Healthier Challah. That is my cousin of Grow a Healthier Pizza, intended for my Jewish brothers and sisters.

The People of California who are Registered Voters: 7.5 Million + 2 of Us Will Vote Yes Right to Know Label GMOs
Petition on Change.Org. started by Leslie Goldman, Your Enchanted Gardener.
Please go sign it.
http://www.change.org/petitions/the-people-of-california-who-are-registered-v...
This petition, that began June 3, is my place to focus endorsements for the CA Ballot Initiative. I want to move toward recording 7.5 Million Californias + 2 and allies from other states and countries who will vote yes to November 6 in California. The Petition has grown to include cheerleaders from other states.
The Caravan to the National Heirloom Expo, September 11, 12 & 13 2012
Many individuals and organizations are coming together to create a tipping point of people who are asking the Right to Know if GMOs are in our foods.
My personal contribution toward this grassroots movement will be building enthusiasm for the CA Ballot Measure. I have set out to Caravan to the National Heirloom Expo. The Expo begins September 11, 12 & 13 in Santa Rosa, CA.
My plan is to begin driving up to Santa Rosa, CA on September 1, stopping along the way to education about GMOs and gain further support for the CA ballot measure.
Right now, Uncle Sam is in the farmbed with the GMO movement. This is clear. Toward that end, I want to inspire Uncle Sam to get married to "Anti" GMO, and end this ellicit affair with Unwholesome Seeds. My Journey toward Santa Rosa, and success at the ballot Box November 6, is a journey to regain our Sacred Seeds.
My personal position is that we have taken an incorrect evolution turn when we went the way of GMOs. This is not to say I do not have friends and allies within the GMO movement, or that I do not personally eat my share of GMO foods. Most of us do eat GMO foods on a daily basis.
The CA Right to Know Label GMOs is for me an issue of Consumer Rights. It is an issue of Cultivating Food Justice. It is an extension of the Freedom Right that became in the 60's when people of all faiths came together toward being Civil RIghts Justice. Our plate for Justice is now the food issue, and to Grow a Healthier Pizza (and a Challah...for my Jewish Friends) is what I want to teach.
On the Caravan, I will stop at my favorite Health Supermarkets. I have been a long time fan of Whole Foods Market. I want to give guided tours of Whole Food Markets along the way, pointing out the vast array of Non GMO Verified Indgredients that can be found in each WFM, as well as what foods contain GMO ingredients.
Today, more than 80 % of some of our foods contain GMO ingredients, but we do not know this.
Here are the words for the 7.5 Million + 2 Petition:
7.5 Million + 2 of Us Will Vote Label GMOs Right to Know
Greetings, California Voters Saying Yes to Our RIght to Know Label GMOs,
I just signed the following petition addressed to: The People of California who are Registered Voters.
----------------
Right now, as of June 3, 2012, millions of Californians are without their knowledge eating GMOs every day. GMOs are Genetically Modified Organisms. They have been in our food for a number of decades. Somebody thought this was O.K. to include GMOs in the daily foods we eat, but did not take the time to ask us first if we wanted them there. More than 40 nations of the world have the integrity to give their people choice to know if they are eating GMOs in their corn, soy, and a host of other foods, but in the US, since the inception of the FDA in 1906, we have leaned toward supporting commercial interests that have placed profits over producing healthy kids. This has gone so far that Congress, in Fall 2011, declared that Pizza was a vegetable just so they could keep from the expense of improving foods in our schools. From our point of view, kids would benefit from more and more healthy ingredients. Toward that end, we are coming together, bonding together, opening an honest Dialogue on Science, Ethics, and Food about GMOs, We are here to educate ourselves, and our fellow Californians that we might each stand in the light about what we are eating. We believe that in signing this petition we are Cultivating Food Justice on our own tables. We insist on our Right to Know and call on each other to Label GMOs.
We love California. We love good food. We love that we can grow our own food. Many of us are regaining confidence now that we can grow some of our own foods. We love and trust the process of initiative in the Golden State. We come together now as registered voters, and others around the country in support, that the people of California become aware that GMOs are in many of our foods. We each, endorse the California Right to Know Label GMOs. We are letting each other know that we are standing together here...to Grow a Healthier Pizza for our Kids.

How did I Come Up with 7.5 Million +2 as the Number of People it will take to Win the CA Ballot Measure?
WHAT'S UP WITH THE NUMBER 7.5 MILLION + 2 CALIFORNIANS?
I was with Pamm Larry, the Grandma who started the California Right to Know Label GMOs initiative May 29. Someone asked, how many people voted in California? She said 15 million. She said that we needed 2 people plus 50 % to win the California Right to Know Label GMOs Ballot Initiative. So...I thought...that meant we needed 7.5 Million + 2 Californias to Vote Yes. Get it?

--Leslie, June 10, 2012
Leslie Goldman, Your Enchanted Gardener, Earth Fair, April 2012, Balboa Park, ingredients all organic to Grow a Healthier Pizza. If Pizza is a vegetable, let it look and be made of the finest vegetables around. There is no way we can continue to shortchange our kids. They deserve the best and we can no longer cut corners on them for any commercial reason of profit motive or budget concern.--Leslie
The CA Ballot Initiative is creating a powerful grassroots movement that will end with returning our Sacred Seeds to us. As Your Enchanted Gardener, I am hear to educate and bring in 1000 years of Peace. This is impossible without Kids having the materials they need. Plant Your Dream is my call. Take your dreams off the Shelf is my message. Toward this end, the following position may be a mind twister to some, but it is where I stand.
I am not against Monsanto Corporation. I feel there are many people within our emerging Grassroots movement who currently work for Monsanto Corp and are heavily invested within Biotech Industries. I personally trust that Nature, the authentic Centtral Intelligence Agency for Planet Earth, has already invented the most marvelous Technology.
I called this Nature's Original Technology. This is a system that cannot be beat. It is aligned with more than 8000 years of indigenous know how, and some of the most ingenious and joy fulfilling approaches to living in Heaven on Earth.
I am here to instigate a Nation of Gardeners. It is through each of us growing a bit of our own food, that we get our beat back with nature. This is the core of why I invite you to become a Beet Keeper in an age of Beet Keepers, Return!
I challenge Monsanto. I would like us, you and I, as Dream Makers, to be so excited and passionate about or own dreams, so inventive in harmony with the "beet" of nature, that the Biotech dream becomes something that we outgrow.
I challenge you and I as a movement to be so committed in our journey toward regaining our Sacred Seeds. Monsanto Corp currently has more money that we do; yet we, as best I can see, have nature and all that breathes, crawls, and imagines a more beautiful life on our side.
[Kinda reminds me of the scene in Avatar...or the Tokien saga...]
There is simply no way that we will have a healthy earth for generations of kids if we continue the way we are going.
I invite us now to be so strong in our conviction that we can win in November, and so clear of the outcome of this Continuation of the Freedom Ride, that even even if Monsanto spends every dime in their marketing budget to say that Labeling GMOs is not a good idea, they will not succeed.
Can you hear me?
Dear Friends at Monsanto...go ahead... Please spend all your money on California. I encourage you to do this.
I look forward to meeting you on stage at the Triple AS Science conferences of the future.
I want to teach you how to come home to Organic and Beyond. I want to teach you that it would be best now for your investors if you create an Organic Section now of Monsanto. I will help you.
The time will come that you, dear Monsanto, must pay for the crimes that have been committed and are now being committed against the Sacredness of the earth and its peoples.
This is not to say that I believe you or your investors intended to do harm. We are all ignorant of how to live on our precious earth.
Let us all learn together now.
I give you a quote from one of my important Mentors, Edmond Bordeaux Szekely; the Co- Founder of what became the #1 Destination Spa in the World, Rancho La Puerta:
"You, too, must one day cease to be your present self, so that you may become a richer personality, in pursuance of the law, that life always creates more life, Truth more abundant Truth, the seed more abundant seeds. This is one answer to your Problems given by the grain of wheat."
and also:
" Our adaptation to the natural forces is a question of existence or Non Existence. We cannot transform the universe or nature so that they adapt themselves to us; on the contrary, we must adapt ourselves to nature and her laws."

when Nat King Cole had a hit song called
'Nature Boy?' It told about a
‘strange, enchanted boy’ who wandered
far, very far, and when he met you,
he taught you many things.
I’ve met that boy, or someone very much like him,

GROW A HEALTHIER PIZZA!" WORKSHOP @ THE NATIONAL HEIRLOOM EXPO, SEPTEMBER 11,12, 13
I am setting out in 2012 to inspire thousands of new gardeners. I set this intention when I spoke at Organic Listening Day at the USDA in Washington September 20, 2011, and volunteered to be the Enchanted Gardener for the People's Garden Initiative. The beginning: We can each grow some of our own food in containers and get our beat back with nature. I travel with a silver box that contains the deepest dreams of humanity, and a pot where you are invited to Plant Your Dream. I hand out seeds to others as well and encourage their planting. We have reached a tipping point of consumer initiative thanks to so many divergent voices coming together. A literal grassroots movement of gardeners will inspire the White House, Congress, and its Federal agencies to come to terms with Real Food Safety; this includes GMO proliferation. Our Food Emergency is my pressing issue of the 2012 campaign. As a consumer movement, the Right to Know Initiative reached near 1,000,000 signers in early May to get on the California Ballot. Now we are taking the next step at the ballot box this November. Washington is in the farm bed with Biotech Agriculture. Thousands more small gardeners are needed, and a new generation of organic farmers. We will ignite a movement of 10 million strong or more leading to 'Uncle Sam Marries "Anti" GMO.' "Grow a Healthier Pizza" is my contribution toward this victory through blogging, educating and planting strong intentions.
