INTO YOUR HANDS, I PLACE A COMPELLING NEED,
A PETITION THAT ASKS FOR FOOD REFORM
The '7.5 Million+ 2 Petition' speaks says, "Grow A Healthier Pizza." It is a response to Government action and Special Interests that have guided the Food Policy of our Nation for more than 100 years.
All eyes are now looking to California. On November 6, there will be a Ballot Measure that seeks to give people 'The Right to Know' what is in our Food. We are asking in California that we 'Label GMOs.'
Massive amounts of money will be spent to keep the Status Quo, to keep people in the dark.
Millions upon millions will spend to in an effort to make sure that the asked Shift in Labels not be made. This is a Consumer Choice Issue, the RIght to Know Movement insists. We want the same Right to Know that near 50 other nations have; and yet, there is something deeper going on here--an opportunity.
The opportunity is for Food Reform.
The opportunity is to began a Journey to Win Back Our Sacred Seeds.
The opportunity is to insist that our children have a chance to do as the Mountains Proclaim, "Plant Your Dream!"
To Plant Your Dream, we need healthy food.
QUESTIONS ABOUT GMOs NEED TO BE ANSWERED
There are questions now about GMOs. How healthy are they? They are some who say they have been proven safe. They have been in our food supply for decades, but history now makes clear we can no longer entrust our future to government agencies that are influenced so strongly by Special Interests.
AND SO IT IS TIME TO LOOK TO HISTORY TO MAKE SENSE OF THE PRESENT
AND THE NEED TO PASS THIS RIGHT TO KNOW-LABEL GMO BALLOT MEASURE
I turn to quotes grow two men, at the forefront of Food Reform 100 years ago.
The First is Alfred W. McCann, who was had training as an Advertising and could likely lend a good hand to the forces today, that would want to keep the Status Quo, but somewhere along the line, McCann stood up for our Children. Because of this,
he wrote many important books including "Starving America" (1916) and "The Science of Eating." (1918, 1919).
DR HARVEY W. WILEY M.D
The second man was Dr. Harvey W. Wiley MD, who is attributed with being the Father of the what became the FDA.
His book, "Crimes Against The Pure Food Law" (1929) looked back at how Special interests, and the will of Industry, interfered with law that he got on the books. That law would have prevented the Obesity epidemic and health issues among children and adults we have today.
ALL THREE OF THESE BOOKS ARE FREE ONLINE

Both are not afraid to use the word "God" in their writings. One upon deeper look had a Creationist Point of view, Alfred W. McCann, but many of his words, as far as I can see Ring True.
HERE IS ALFRED WATERSON McCANN ON SCIENCE
To Win at the Ballot Box November 6--
The Right to Know, Label GMOs--
We are being asked to Grow
the Strongest Grass Roots Movement
in California History.
I literally see this movement growing as we attach our intentions and actions
with the will of nature.
To this end, I see and see this dream.
We Can Grow the Strongest Grass Roots Movement in California History
“If you watch the growth of this seed.
You will find that there is an indestructible
and mysterious power in it--the power of life.
If you watch long enough,
you will see that the grain disappears
and is replaced by a plant
which will triumph over
all obstacles and opposition--
which will grow higher and higher
and higher because it has life within it.”
from "The Book of Asha,"
by Edmond S. Bordeaux
(Edmond B. Szekely)
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

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 idea of the FDA in 1906, Commercial interests have placed profits over producing healthy kids and influenced heavily our food supply. Congress, in Fall 2011, declared that tomato sauce qualified Pizza as a vegetable to keep from the added expense of improving foods in our schools. 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 bottomline is that we have a 'Right to Know' our food ingredients and to 'Label GMO Foods.' We intend to create a massive grassroots movement to support this.
We love California. We love good food. Many of us are gaining 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.
