Nearly 1 Million Californians Signed!

May 2. 2012

Sacramento, CA.  - Today was a historic day in California as 971,126 signatures were delivered to the 58 county registrars throughout the state. Our goal was to gather 850,000 signatures statewide in order to get the required 550, 000 valid signatures - we've surpassed our goal thanks to our volunteers!

We are now gearing up for the second phase of the campaign, and still need you!

About us

The Committee for the Right to Know is a grassroots coalition of consumer, public health, environmental organizations, and food companies in California that is seeking the labeling of genetically engineered foods (GMOs).

On November 9, 2011, the coalition submitted the California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act to the State Attorney General for title and summary, prior to circulation as an initiative measure for the November 2012 election.

California, we’re behind you 100% of the way! The Governor of Connecticut eviscerated our CT bill after Monsanto threatened to sue. We won’t roll over and die – we’ll fight HARDER. One angry Connecticut Mom has started a grass roots consumer email campaign and I hope you’ll join me. I’m looking for 5,000 people to send individual emails to one food manufacturer a week. We’ll ask them if they are sourcing genetically modified ingredients for their products, voice our concerns about their safety and give them an earful! Help me give the USA a taste of GMO labeling. If the FDA won’t label it, WE’LL DO IT OURSELVES!! You’ll find the group both on facebook and in yahoo groups:

Absolutely! We want to know what is in our food!

Also, we want manufacturers to stop messing with our food: We want good food the way the good Lord made it — that is without chemicals and unnatural processing. That also applies to meat — we don’t want meat “enhanced” with up to 15% of anything at all — just plain meat.

Label those GMOs! We want to know.
