WA residents alert: 24 hours to tell WA to label GMOs

Dear Mary

We want to alert you to an urgent public hearing being held by the Washington state Senate in Olympia about I-522 to label genetically engineered foods. Last week, Senator Brian Hatfield, D-Raymond, the chair of the Senate Agriculture committee, called for public testimony on I-522 or “The People’s Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act” with less than a week's notice.

The meeting will be held tomorrow on Valentine’s Day: February 14, in Senate Hearing Room 4, J.A. Cherberg Building, Olympia, WA at 10:00 am. Click here to RSVP if you’d like to attend.

We need your help today: contact your Washington state Senator and Representative to tell them that you support I-522 because you have a Right to Know what’s in your food!

Click here to say “I support GMO labeling and want you to support I-522!" Every voice counts!

This is from an email from Food Democracy Now. There's more to the email but I just wanted you to be aware and to be able to sign the petition.
