Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.) and his gang of pro-Monsanto, pro-GMO lawless-makers are pushing hard to keep you in the dark about what’s in your food.
But OCA staff and volunteers, along with our friends at Food & Water Watch, are working just as hard to shed some light on who plans to vote for Pompeo’s DARK Act (H.R. 1599), and who doesn’t. They’ve been traveling from state to state, meeting with staff who represent members of the House Energy & Commerce. And soon, they’ll be meeting with members of the House Committee on Agriculture’s Biotech Subcommittee. Those are the two committees that have held (or will hold) hearings on H.R. 1599, and whose members will be the first to vote on it.
We still need help organizing state meetings. If you can pitch in, please email campaigns@organicconsumers.org.
Meanwhile, we’ve written up a summary of who’s said what, so far. And we’ve included names and phone numbers to call. If you live in any of these key districts, please take a minute to find out if you can help by making a phone call, or attending or organizing a meeting.
