Anti-GMO (Pro-Labeling) Volunteers Wanted For New Washington Labeling Initiative

No sense in downplaying it, because the right to know about GMOs in retail-sold food is important, but secondary to what our labeling campaigns are really about, because what they're really about is letting the nation know that GMOs are a growing poisonous aspect of today's agricultural landscape, and what little scientific research has been done regarding GMOs has shown that they are a threat to the environment, a toxin to animals' bodies, and thus a menace to human bodies, not to mention to the entire natural world that depends on natural food for its survival.  Letting a handful of corporations dictate virtually the nation's entire food policy and twisting the natural order for their own monetary gain is repulsive, and hardly gains the attention that it deserves in the mainstream news media and in the halls of government.  Though, it gets amazingly little attention, this is no small matter, because a relative handful of people, who could care less about the ecology of the world, being the lords of all things agriculture is mad when you consider the consequences of a GMO nation or planet.

We needed volunteers yesterday to get ready for the 2015 labeling initiative, but we certainly need you, today.  Volunteers will need to get at least 500 signatures on the next GMO labeling petition between February 1, 2015 and July 1, 2015.  If not YOU, then who?  Please, sign up today by writing poc_senator@yahoo.com.

GMO Labeling Falters in Oregon: Next Stop, Washington

 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?
