Update (11/5/2014): the Oregonian is now saying that the GMO labeling measure in the State of Oregon has failed by 51% - 49%, but that won't deter the Respect for Mother Nature Committee of Washington to start a new initiative next year.
The Oregonian newspaper is reporting that the state's GMO labeling measure is too close to call on election night. This just goes to show that some influential labeling supporters in Washington missed a great opportunity to put Initiative 1338, sponsored by Party of Commons chairman/senator, Mark Greene, on the ballot, Washington's only initiative in support of labeling this year. Greene tried his best to get the natural supporters of labeling to recruit volunteers for the petition signatures, but they declined, and in some instances even refused to communicate, including some of the big moneyed supporters of the original labeling initiative, I-522 (supported by us, although not the sponsors). One of the sponsors of that initiative was at first interested in helping with Initiative 1338, and then abruptly cut off all communication without explanation.
The Party of Commons/Respect for Mother Nature Committee of WA will sponsor another such Initiative to the People in 2015. We need to start lining up volunteers, now, so if you're interested, please write poc_senator@yahoo.com, today. We don't need big organizations to get this on the ballot, we need a few hundred individuals to get anywhere from 500 - 1000 signatures apiece. And remember, if not YOU, then who?
