The power of advertising has shown itself.  Since Monsanto, DuPont, and Dow, can’t provide factual evidence of the safety of their GM efforts they continue to pound the airwaves with inaccuracies and misrepresentations.  Even some newspapers, whose editorials had come out against Prop 37 called out the ‘No’ campaign for their lies.  Shouldn’t that be enough to realize that if these companies are willing to spend money to lie to you that you can’t trust them??  How could you vote any other way but YES on 37??  Let’s not let this continue as we have a choice this November.  YES ON 37!

The opponents of Prop 37 are using their bag of dirty tricks to try and sway this vote.  Let’s not be swayed by their lack of integrity.  Read this article – http://www.citywatchla.com/lead-stories/3903-prop-37-the-big-food-fight

Here’s a link to the October 12, 2012 LA Times Op/Ed section : http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-imhoff-prop-37-gmo-labeling-20121011,0,7997497.story

Let’s keep the momentum and make sure our voice is heard.  This November –

                                             Please VOTE YES on PROP 37

While the battle for GMO labeling heats up, we found this little story in the Santa Monica Community College newspaper that offers some basic insight into the measure.  How do we know that we might want to consider a different approach than GMO?  The article says it best – “In the field, GM has to be treated as a pesticide, because pesticide is

built into it, so you have to wash your hands after planting the seed,”

said King. “The plant itself is the pesticide so you wouldn’t want it

on yourself, but at some point it’s harvested and, suddenly, it’s food.”

I don’t remember ever having to wash my hands after planting my spring garden, except to get the dirt off.  This particular statement drove home the GMO point for me.  Pesticide built in and suddenly after harvesting it’s food??  Common sense and appropriate science tell me that this isn’t a good idea.  I say appropriate science since the offerings of the GMO companies leave a lot to the imagination in regards to quality protocols and rigorous safety monitoring.  I also never hear of any Monsanto executives willing to eat only a GMO based diet.

California Voters – Let’s change the world…VOTE YES on PROP 37 this November

This article in the NY Times is worth reading – http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/14/magazine/why-californias-proposition-37-should-matter-to-anyone-who-cares-about-food.html?pagewanted=all&_r=2&

Please VOTE YES on PROP 37

The latest salvo by the ‘no’ folks is a press release entitled ‘In case you missed it’ which states that 34 newspaper editorial staffs have come out against Prop 37.  It suggests that we, the People, are missing something.  REALLY??  I don’t think so.  First off, 15 of those newspapers listed in the press release are owned by two media corporations, Media News Group and McClatchey Corp.  Those aren’t 15 independent editorial boards, those are only two editorial boards with big advertising and corporate ties to many of big business supporters of the ‘no’ campaign.  Here’s the link to the release so you can see for yourself.  Look up these newspapers and see ‘WHO’ is really speaking!  http://www.sacbee.com/2012/10/08/4893227/no-on-prop-37-in-case-you-missed.html 

FYI, the newspaper this misleading press release was published in was the Sacramento Bee, owned by the McClatchey Corporation.  As always, we must look deeper into the information being given us to get to the facts.

PROP 37 isn’t perfect but it’s not deceptive like the ‘no’ group wants to you to believe.  Not knowing what’s in your food and the food industry being willing to keep you in the dark is deceptive.  This November we ask you to join us in VOTING YES on PROP 37.

A perfect example of the lengths that the ‘no’ on 37 campaign is willing to go is this ad where the opposition tried to infer that one of their advocates was a Stanford professor.  The deception and lies are the trademark of these companies trying to block this measure.  Here are the facts – http://www.carighttoknow.org/no_on_37_forced_to_pull_ad#reactions

California Voters – Please VOTE YES on PROP 37 this November

Several major newspapers have come out against Prop 37 with their editorial staff.  What I find amusing is how quickly the readers find the faults and inaccuracies of the Op/Ed stances.  These are supposed to be journalists yet they use sources that turn out to be propaganda houses.  Take a look at these letters to the editor:
