Internal email and memos demonstrate GMA’s efforts to launder labeling opponents donations

Attorney General Bob Ferguson of Washington State is pursuing a lawsuit against the Grocery Manufactures Association (GMA) for trying to avoid campaign disclosure laws by laundering member donations.  Internal emails clearly show the strategy of the opponents which was to fight state efforts for labeling at any cost.  By laundering member donations the GMA hoped to shield these corporations from consumer backlash.  Follow this story here – http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/2013/10/29/montsanto-antes-up-540000-more-to-fight-i-522/

Let those companies know that you don’t appreciate underhanded and illegal tactics to try and sway voters.  Stop buying their products and send a message.  If you know someone who lives in Washington State, please encourage them to vote YES on I-522 to send even a stronger message.
