Building the 7.5 Million + 2 Grassroots Movement

June 25, 2012
TO CATHY
Cathy, you looked really good last night. I am very happy that you are 27 and have so many years ahead to serve and use your incredible intelligence and perspectives to help our causes. You are a leader of your generation in our community and I bless you that you continue forward.
1- You are my main contact with TTP now. Make sure I get the info I need, and that I am in a good placement to express the CA Right to Know Component. Here is the blog I did on that after the meeting with Nic and CFJ allies:
FYI, about one month ago, I got a chance to teach at the 2nd Festival of Traditional Medicine for the Americas. I am good in Bi-linqual situations when I have a translator. The work I do with the seeds was highly valued. A couple weeks later, I went back to that same place, Professors Park in Tecate. My footsteps were guided by the Mt Kucamaa and the visions I am carrying are being encouraged by nature.
I got feedback last night that the words of the 7.5 Million + 2 petition were basically sound. IF there is some fine tuning of sentences that we can work with that. This is the week to get everything together.
Sending blessings and love,
Leslie Goldman
Please sign the Petition today and ask Jose check out what I have in mind. I want to co-create the greatest grassroots movement in CA History around Winning our Sacred Seeds Back. Winning the Right to Know what is in our foods, and Label GMO Foods in California is the first step.
Theodora Filis, I would appreciate you taking an interest in the California Right to Know Label GMO ballot initiative. This has national significance. I am setting out to do the most "Impossible" journey, to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds. I am doing a Caravan to the National Heirloom Expo beginning Sept 1-10. I want 7.5 Million +2 signers on this petition who are committing to co-create the greatest grassroots movement in CA history.
Please sign this and get your friends to sign this.
if you see any fine tuning of sentence structure, let me know. This is the week when I finalize all my walking papers hopefully for the Campaign.
2- The Caravan to Save Our Sacred Wins is based on 30 years of prep. I have the graphics for this mainly and the understanding to teach. I would like you to sponsor one mile of the approx. 1200 miles of the journey for $5.00. If you wish to be a main sponsor of the campaign I will promote what you are doing on my Plant Your Dream Blog that has 5.1 million page views + my other sponsor blog.
There are also a mass of links that need to be jelled down on this last link.
The main think I need for you now is your encouragement. I have been writing in a vacuum without enough feedback.
My breakthrough has Friday was that the words for my two classes and opening and closing ceremony for the National Heirloom Expo have been accepted. Here are those words.
WE CALIFORNIANS--AND OUR FRIENDS IN OTHER STATES AND NATIONS-- HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT IS IN OUR FOOD.
WE WANT TO LABEL GMO FOODS.
"If commercial interests have convinced Congress--to do business as usual--and that profits are more important than our children having improved lunches in schools, if Congress has now said that a few tbs of tomato sauce defines Pizza as a Vegetable, then we, as Conscious Consumers will Grow a Healthier Pizza through the action of this petition. To top off this Pizza, we want to know the quality of our Ingredients. If pizza is made from cans and containers that have ingredients that are made wtth GMOs--Genetically Modified Organisms--We have a Right To Know, just like people in near 50 other nations." --Leslie Goldman, Your Enchanted Gardener
June 22, 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. Near 50 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, Commercial interests that have placed profits over producing healthy kids and influenced heavily our food Supply. tCongress, in Fall 2011, declared that Tomato Sauce qualified Pizza as a vegetable to keep from the added 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. Our bottleline is that we have a Right to Know our food ingredients. We call on each other to Label GMOs, and intent to create a massive grassroots movement to support this.
We love California. We love good food. Many of us are regaining confidence now that we can grow some of our own foods. We trust the process of initiative in the Golden State. We come together now as registered voters, and as others around the country and from many nations, 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.

WHAT'S UP WITH THE NUMBER 7.5 MILLION + 2 CALIFORNIANS?
I was with Pamm Larry, May 29, 2012. She is the Grandma who started the California Right to Know Label GMOs Proposition that is on the Nov 6 ballot. Someone asked, how many people voted in California? She said 15 million. She said that we needed a couple people plus 50 % to win the California Right to Know Label GMOs Ballot Proposition. So...I thought...that meant we needed a magical number: "7.5 Million + 2 Californians" to Vote "Yes." Get it?
The "7.5 Million + 2" Petition is about counting our numbers now, and helping to build the most powerful Grassroots Movements California has seen.
Please go here to be one of 7.5 Million + 2 Registered Voters in California Planning to Vote Yes on the RIght to Know Label GMO Foods/ or be one of our Cheerleaders from other States and Nations:
Or My Snailmail to send contributions
in any amount.

TESTIMONIALS
Dear Uncle Leslie,
I really enjoyed your presentation yesterday. It uplifted my spirits and made me feel like I had to do something to make our planet better. Personally, I don’t eat vegetables but everything you said changed my mind about it. I do need to change my eating habits and I do need to grow my own vegetables. You kept the classes’ attention. You were funny, and you kept us interested. You’ll probable be the man that’ll actually get our generation to do their part in helping rebuild our enchanted garden.
Sincerely,
Summer

“Do you remember, a lifetime ago,
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,
and he is now a man known as the Enchanted
Gardener. I may never be the same.”

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.
CARAVAN TO THE NATIONAL HEIRLOOM EXPOSITION SEPTEMBER 11,12,13, 2012
I will caravan to the National Heirloom Expo, September 11,12,13 in Santa Rosa, CA. This event falls less than two months before the election and features some of our big anti GMO hitters, including Jeffrey Smith and Vandana Shiva. This Expo is a rally point for winning the campaign to Label GMOs in California.
