Poll after poll shows that, when given a simple, clear choice, the vast majority of consumers want to know if the food they buy has Genetically Modified Ingredients (GMOs) in it. Yet, to this day, the vast majority of Americans have no idea whatsoever if the food they are eating every day comes from GMOs produced by the largest biotechnology firm in the world, Monsanto.



Monsanto’s goal is simple - complete control of our food supply through GMOs, seeds, and pesticides, which, evidence shows, provide few, if any benefits over traditional farming techniques. Monsanto promised higher yields, but they never came. Monsanto promised less pesticides, but instead we need more (sold by, of course, Monsanto). Monsanto promised that there wouldn’t be contamination of other species, but already we’re seeing the emergence of superweeds that can’t be stopped, having adopt Monsanto genes.



All Monsanto cares about is making money and taking over our food system for their profit.



It is time to take a stand.



This fall, Washington state voters will go to the polls to vote on initiative 522, which would require mandatory labeling of all foods containing GMOs in the state. It would be the first such law of its kind anywhere in the United States, and landmark piece of legislation.



This is important to us all - Washington is the 11th largest state in the US, and producers will not make separate labels just for Washington - they’ll begin labeling products everywhere. That is why Monsanto wants to stop this initiative. They know that once Washington labels GMOs, it is only a matter of time before the entire country has GMO labeling. Once this domino falls, the rest will follow.



Please share this widely to show our support of Washington’s GMO labeling initiative. We are winning, but Monsanto will do anything to stop us. Last year, they spent millions on a campaign of lies, deception, and deceit to stop GMO labeling in California. The campaign in Washington is more prepared, and ready to fight, but we need all of our help. Sign this petition, post it on your Facebook page, Twitter, and email your friends so that Monsanto knows we won’t stand for their lies anymore.
