JULY 21 UODATE
The bill is on President Obama's desk; were asking him to veto it
Not knowing who's growing your food is like being intimate with a stranger.
The recent passage of S764 the Roberts-Stabenow Bill is extremely user-friendly to #Monsanto but does not help consumers stay informed about healthy food safety.
Last chance to tell President Obama to veto that bill is July 20 I hear.

SENATOR JEFF MERKELEY'S TALK ON THE SENATE FLOOR AFTER
THE CLOTURE VOTE TOGDAY WAS NEEDS TO BE HEARD BY MANY BEFOFE THE VOTE TOMORROW
The words I heard from Senator Senator Jeff Merkley on the senate floor following the Cloture to fast tract the vote without much of a hearing--so far-- were like rich organic raw honey pure #nonGMO. A classic. Thousands upon thousands of hours of work to get to this point. I celebrate all the work that has been done and know our time will come for #RighttoKnow and #LabelGMO We are winning the Tipping point and each one of this investments of our life energy is important. Let's all work together and learn how this system works. Thanks for all your work, Rachel Linden
According to Rachel Linden all we need is two more votes to block this bill.
Jeff Merkley called for Amendments to create a real #LabelGMO Bill.
1-855-977-1770. Call your senator AGAIN. NO on Roberts-Stabenow compromise #DARKact #labelgmo bill S. 764. Today, July 6, 2016, a Cloture vote was taken to prevent a long discussion. The next LIGHT Act can take place July 6. How much Light can you summon?
JULY 7 NOTES
from Leslie Goldman Your Enchanted Gardener #PlantYourDreamBlog
#DarkAct 2.0 #LabelGMO powerful talk today July 6 by Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) on the Senate Floor.
I have waited to here this Consumer Right to Know Message for many years. It has taken us thousands of hours to get to this point. with so many of us working so very hard.
There are Senators who really Get it. They get us. They said so many of the messages that we have been educating about since 2012.
LOOPHOLES IN S 764
Senator Merkley said many things, including pointing out three big loopholes that should bring defeat to the Roberts-Stabenow Bill s.764 if Senators and Activists can hear one another before the vote on this July 7.
According to Rachel Linden we are short merely two senators to stop this Roberts-Stabenow Bill S.764 now.
The Vote today was called Cloture, to Fast Track this without a fair hearing. Senator Merkley wanted to SLOW it down. Bernie Sanders, Senator Leahy, Jeff Merkley and others are standing by with amendments to make this a Real #LabelGMO bill that kills the #DARKACt darkness.
I got a deep understanding of the bill and its flaws as I listened to the Press Conference held earlier in the day, and then this talk on the floor by Senator Merkley.
Three big loopholes: A definition that exempts three major products in America. Not in use by any of the 64 that have a labeling law. Excludes the three products of Monsanto…GMO Corn…exempted..high fructose. GMO soybean oil exempted…Sugar beets…when produced would not be GMO sugar….these definitions exclude the three biggest products produced by Monsanto. They are determined to see that they are not covered.
THE PRESS CONFERENCE IS ON YOUTUBE
https://youtu.be/lFsKI0qCg4g
825 have heard this by 5:16 pm July 7; I predict we we got this up to 8000 by tomorrow and made calls, we would be moving our End Result Forward...a #LABELGMO world.
the next 24 HOURS are IMPORTANT
#BERNIEE sent me a text this morning asking all his supporters to get on board. This is the Phone Number.
We have many of our friends and allies on the ground at the Senate offices now. Let's each do our part.
MY TAKE ON HILLARY
I was shocked and stunned to listen to FBI Director Comey this morning. I cannot see how Hillary is electable. She will be tried in the Court of Public Opinion and likely indicted there.
May I remind you, it is called #OurRevolution. Amazing things happened today in the Senate. We need to get behind the Senators who are on our team, and sway a few more in the next 24 hours.
MY So at his inauguration in January will he be introduced as Bernie or Bernard Sanders? I want #OrganicFoodiesForBernie #CompostCorruption & and support for #OurRevolution in the #DemPlatform. I want @senberniessnders to stand up and clearly state is he is running for president. #suoerdelegates need to vote for #bernieorbust ILeslie Goldman Your Enchanted Gardener #PlantYourDreamBlog
MY TAKE
JULY 7, 2016
3:49 pm
Zen Honeycutt gives us a good chart of all the senators phones and contact info.
I have been monitoring the activity for two days now on the Senate floor. We, the #labelgmo side have done an excellent job of presenting the consumer right to know arguments. We do not give reasons why GMOs are not good for health.
Our opposition points how their evidence that GMOS are safe.
Clearly this is bill that gives Monsanto what they want. Their three main products are exempted in one way or another: High Fructose Corn syrup, soybean oil, and sugar beets are not called GMO under this bill. This bill is deeply flawed.
We need to support the senators on our side and create more of them on our side.
The bill is still to be voted on as of 3:41 pm PST.
I would suggest sending as much support as possible to @SenSanders who spoke to an amendment.
The vote yesterday was to limit debate.
Presuming we have influence as constituents. The next step would be to lobby for the Sanders Amendment that wants to make the Vermont state standard the national standard.
Call your senator and ask for that.
Appears, as leaders, we have a lot more work to do to create cohesion in #ourRevolution grassroots movement.
I have seen a lot of powerful information about the toxic effects of GMOs. We get a high rating for educating the public about the Consumer Right to Know issue. However, I would give a very low score for how effectively we have communicated that GMOs are bad for health.
I attended a conference earlier in the year where many of the #GMO Educators were present. Serelini, Stepanie Stephanie Seneff and Zen Honeycutt are incredible speakers as far as addressing the issues of GMO as bad for health. Jeffrey Smith was also there.
Until we get these points across, I am not sure how effective we will be.
My goal is to outgrow GMOs and Outgrow Monsanto. I believe GMOs need to be banned because of the ill-effect they have on contaminating seeds. That to be is clear.
I am compiling my ideas on this #PlantYourDreamBlog.

JULY 7 NOTE
GMO Free USA we heard that Feinstein's office received over 1,000 phone calls yesterday asking her to vote NO. There were only 2 callers asking her to vote yes. We should be outraged and she really does need to hear the voices of outrage from her constituents :(
THE FBI INVESTIGATION IS ALSO A TOP TOPIC TODAY
This woman, Hillary, in not electable. is there no one trustworthy anymore?! Diane Bard asks. I imagine the FBI that spent 1000's of hours and they work for more than $15.00 an hour. Do something important today! #Bernie asks: call on Senators NOW and express NO to your senators. #DARKAST 2.0 #LABELGMO 1-855-977-1770. Call Senators July 6,
