To Bernie Sanders & Barbara Boxer,
Dear Bernie and Barbara,
Thank you for stepping up to do this very important work about Genetic Labeling as part of the 2012 Farm Bill. I am working in California to have 7.5 Million + 2 Registered Voters commit now to vote yes to the California Right to Know Label GMO Foods Ballot Initiative that is now on the November 6 Ballot in our state.
I would appreciate you both going to this link and signing the Petition.
Barbara you are a registered voter in California. It would mean a lot to me if you signed this Petition.
I also encourage you to support the Caravan I will be doing between September 1 -September 10 up to the National Heirloom Expo in Sant a Rosa, CA.
OUR SEEDS WILL SAVE US: CARAVAN TO THE NATIONAL HEIRLOOM EXPO, SEPTEMBER 1-SEPTEMBER 10; THE EXPO IS SEPTEMBER 11, 12 &13 2012 THIS IS A CARAVAN TO WIN BACK OUR SACRED SEEDS
I appreciate very much that together through the 2012 Farm Bill we can begin to reclaim America the Beautiful.
Corporate interests have been harming our children since the inception of the FDA. I am writing about this on the Plant Your Dream Blog.
We can turn the all around now.
We have to turn this around and win back our Sacred Seeds. Our children are our Sacred Seeds.
I agree with the rest of the letter that my friends Dave Murpy and Lisa Stokke wrote.
Be well and sending love,
Leslie Goldman

My Friends Dave Murphy and Lisa Stokke of Food Democracy Now Sent This Out.
This is Important
This week the Senate is hammering out the final details to one of the single most important pieces of legislation that determines what Americans, and many people around the world, eat on a daily basis. Congress only passes a Farm Bill every 5 years and we need your help. Over the next 10 years, the 2012 Farm Bill is expected to cost the American taxpayer more than $1 trillion dollars. Unfortunately agribusiness lobbyists have larded the bill with pork barrel spending and endless loopholes.
But there are a number of urgent amendments that Food Democracy Now! and our allies support to create a healthy sustainable food future. Today Senator Bernie Sanders put forward an amendment to label genetically engineered foods and he needs your support! At the same time, join us in supporting fair crop insurance for organic farmers and guaranteeing seed diversity for generations to come!
Today, there’s a floor fight in the U.S. Senate to decide who benefits this time around: You or corporate lobbyists?

ACTION ITEM RECOMMENDED BY FOOD DEMOCRACY NOW AND YOUR ENCHANTED GARDENER
Tell Your Senators that you are in favor of this:
Dear Senator,
As Congress considers the new Farm Bill, I urge you to stand up for policies that protect family farmers and our environment. It's vital that as Congress rewrites Farm Bill programs that they support transparency, fair crop insurance and increased seed diversity.
I urge you to support the Sanders-Boxer amendment to label genetically engineered food because Americans have a basic right to know what's in their food and how it's produced. Already nearly 50 countries recognize their citizens' basic right to label genetically engineered foods in order to give them vital information about the food they are eating.
I urge you to support the Merkley Organic Crop Insurance Amendment to make sure that organic farmers, America's fastest growing agricultural sector, receives fair premiums and payments when their crops fail. I urge you to support the Tester Crop Diversity Amendment to maintain access to the best varieties of seeds for farmers and future generations.
Each of these amendments is vital to creating a fair, open and transparent food system to create jobs and a healthy, sustainable American future.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
