Dear Corporate and Government Leaders, Genetically engineered food ingredients or crops should not be allowed on the market until: 1) Independent safety testing demonstrates they have no harmful effects on human health or the environment, 2) They are labeled to ensure the consumer's right-to-know, and 3) The biotechnology corporations that manufacture them are held responsible for any harm. This is important for the wellbeing of our country--without healthy people, we can not achieve our purpose as leaders of the free world. Sincerely Virginia Blakely 6183 Hart Ridge Court Walkertown, North Carolina 27051
