Please Help Stop H.R. 4432 — The Ultimate Monsanto (GMO) Protection Act

Please Help Stop H.R. 4432 — The Ultimate Monsanto (GMO) Protection Act

Once again Monsanto and giant food companies are scheming behind the scenes to pass a bill in Congress that would kill mandatory GMO labeling efforts and replace it with a gutted version that will preempt states’ rights and give the illusion of oversight.

The House Energy & Commerce Committee held a hearing on H.R. 4432, which lead sponsors Representatives Mike Pomeo (R-KS) and G.K. Butterfield (D-NC) are calling this legislative travesty: the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2014.

Like last year’s Monsanto Protection Act, this bill has been cleverly crafted by Monsanto and biotech lobbyists to intentionally deceive members of Congress, the media and ultimately the American public in an effort to offer extra-legal protection to Monsanto and permanently hide the fact that GMOs are in 75% of the processed foods sold in grocery stores in America.

Tell Congress and FDA: Don’t betray the American public on GMO labeling. Demand mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods and don’t let Congress destroy our only hope of protecting our families, our farms and our food from untested and unlabeled GMO food. Every voice counts.
