Campaign Unavailable
We're sorry, this alert is no longer available.
The short explanation of this alert was:
Take action today!
On June 28th, 2006, despite thousands of letters in opposition, the Assembly Agriculture committee voted unanimously in favor of SB1056, the California preemption bill that takes away local government authority over seeds. If this bill passes into law, it will override future restrictions on genetically engineered crops and seeds, as well as all other local regulation of seeds. Since the bill passed through committee, it will now head for a full Assembly floor vote – this is our chance to stop the bill in the Assembly!
Please join us TODAY to stop this bill!
We are asking you to join us TODAY in doing two things:
1. Write your state Senate and House Assembly members. Add your own comments to the sample letter below and email it to your state Senator and Assembly member. If for any reason your elected officials are not reachable via email, you will be given the opportunity to download your letters to print and mail via post. If their addresses do not appear on your letter, you can look them up HERE
2. Call your State Senator and Assembly member and ask them to oppose SB 1056. You will be taken to a page where you can look up phone numbers for your elected officials after your email is sent or you have downloaded your letters. If you are not taken to the page for any reason you can access it HERE
