Monsanto and their friends just broke a record.
But it’s not the New York marathon — it’s the record for most money spent on an initiative in Washington state’s history. [1] That’s how scared they are of labeling — not banning, just labeling — their GMO food. What are they hiding?
Americans like outlaw star Willie Nelson are sick of it. Willie, a long-time friend to both family farmers and progressive causes, is just one of millions of citizens raising his voice.
That’s why the tide is turning. Just last month, you helped defeat the deceptive Monsanto Protection Act in Congress. And while Monsanto may have squeaked out a win in Washington state, an initiative is already planned for Oregon next. States throughout the northeast, from New York to Maine, are also considering GMO legislation. Folks across the country are learning about GMOs and they don’t like what they’re hearing.
Monsanto can’t buy us out. Together, we can get the truth out there and bring more support to the fight for our food!
Share this inspiring message from Willie Nelson and invite more people to join the fight for our food!
(Not on Facebook? No problem, click here to email this message to your friends.)
From great songs like “On the Road Again” to his pioneering work on behalf of family farmers with Farm Aid, everyone can agree that Willie is an American icon. With your help and an inspiring message from the Red Headed Stranger, we can get people’s attention and let them know the truth about GMOs. Together, we can grow the movement for a future where our food is grown by farmers, not in a laboratory!
Will you spread the word to your friends and family by sharing this great image? Monsanto might be able to drop millions, but we have something better — you.
In it together,
Ashley Allison SierraRise Senior Campaigner
P.S. Forward this email to your friends and together let’s build the movement to save our food.
