MENDOCINO LEADS THE WAY

Northern California farmers and consumers are challenging Monsanto and

the biotech industry directly. In Mendocino County CA, voters will soon

be deciding whether or not to ban genetically modified crops, once and

for all. The vote will be held March 2, 2004 and would make the county

the first in the U.S. to ban genetically engineered crops. The ballot

initiative has been organized and supported by local farmers and

citizens, but they are being outspent 50 to 1 by biotech and

agribusiness front groups. OCA encourages people everywhere to follow

Mendocino's example and go on the offensive.

 

http://www.gmofreemendo.com/ has some more information, but mostly is a push for

Californians to vote on a Measure to pass this.
