SUPPORT THE OCA & OCF

Nine. Million. Dollars. In three months.
That’€™s how much lobbyists spent in the first quarter of 2014 to keep you in the dark about the GMOs in your food.
It’€™s more than they spent during the entire year of 2013.
Do they really expect us to believe that they can’€™t add another little line to their labels because it will cost too much’€”a cost they’€™ll be forced to pass on to consumers whose financial welfare is of such grave concern to them? When they’€™ve got $9 million to blow, in just one quarter, on lobbying to prevent labels?
We know better, of course. We also know that the grassroots will never be able to outspend Monsanto and the Grocery Manufacturers Association.
We don’€™t need to. Because the momentum is now on our side’€”as evidenced by Monsanto and gang’€™s panicked spending.
But we do need to raise enough. To win in November in Oregon. To defend Vermont from the GMA’€™s lawsuit. And to lend support whenever and however we can to other states fighting for labeling, and counties fighting for GMO-free zones.
Every little bit helps. Thank you!
