Organic Wheat Petition

Permission to cross-post, if you want.

 

The Campaign has launched the Save Organic Wheat coalition

http://www.saveorganicwheat.org and has created a petition calling

for a moratorium on genetically mutated wheat. Please consider

signing the petition http://www.saveorganicwheat.org/petition.php,

and joining the coalition. Joining is free, and helps send a

powerful message that U.S. and Canadian citizens do not want

genetically mutated wheat.

 

Save Organic Wheat mission & principles

 

Mission Statement:

" To build a coalition of organizations, businesses, farmers and

consumers in support of a moratorium on the introduction of

genetically engineered wheat in the United States and Canada. "

 

Unifying Principles:

1. We support a moratorium because genetically engineered wheat will

contaminate organic and conventional wheat and jeopardize the

consumers' right to choose.

 

2. We support a moratorium because genetically engineered wheat may

create an economic hardship on wheat growers due to contamination and

loss of export markets.

 

3. We support a moratorium because genetically engineered wheat is

likely to create superweeds and be toxic to insects, birds, bees,

soil bacteria and have other negative environmental impacts.

 

4. We support a moratorium because genetically engineered wheat has

not been safety tested on humans and should be subject to the same

type of review process required for new drugs and food additives.

 

If you agree with the Mission Statement and Unifying Principles, we

invite you to join the Save Organic Wheat coalition:
