Fw: Ten days to reach one million

[bkje...@sbcglobal.net]

Help us make history and send one million comments to the FDA. We only have 10 days to reach our goal. Please tell 5 friends to contact the FDA today. Just forward the email below! --------------------------------------- Dear friend, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is preparing to approve genetically engineered salmon, which would be the first genetically engineered animal on supermarket shelves in the United States. The salmon is engineered to produce hormones year-round that cause the fish to grow at twice its natural rate. But without labels, we'll never know. We need to speak out now, because there's just 10 more days until the FDA must respond publicly to a petition calling for labeling of genetically engineered foods -- and we need to make sure the FDA knows how ordinary Americans feel about this issue before that deadline. That's why I submitted a comment to the FDA demanding that genetically engineered foods be labeled. And in about 30 seconds and with just a few clicks, you can join me. Will you tell the FDA that you support mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods too? http://www.JustLabelIt.org/take-action?track=taf Please, click on that link and contact the FDA today. They need to hear from more people like you and me. Thanks! – Ben Kjelshus

We're building a movement of concerned citizens – parents, health care workers, small business owners, farmers, and more – who care about what's in the food we eat. In October 2011, the Just Label It campaign was formed when the Center for Food Safety filed a petition with the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to require the labeling of all foods produced using genetic engineering. Days later, we asked citizens from around the country to join us and tell the FDA to "Just Label It." By our latest count, more than 980,000 Americans have sent comments to the FDA urging them to label genetically engineered foods. Help us reach one million by asking others to sign on at www.JustLabelIt.org/takeaction. Like us on Facebook | Follow us on Twitter | Learn more at www.JustLabelIt.org
