To whom it may concern:

It's quite simple, really it is:  1) If the biotech firms believe that
GMO's are safe
than why are they so vehemently opposed to labeling, and 2) and what do
the Europeans know that we don't??

Labeling is fair and allows the biotech firms to produce their
products.  Give us the choice to make our own decisions of what food we
should buy.

Sounds almost communistic with what's going on.  No choice, gmo's being
rammed down our throats, no choice, no voice.  Yeh, you guys claim we
are part of a democracy?  Then show it!!  Give us the labeling laws to
ensure that we make our "own" decisions.  Don't let the biotech firms
and politicos make your decisions.

You know that is the only choice you have.

In the interest of  humanity,
And, to your being of wellness,
