A mass mobilization in Washington, DC from November 14th to 18th has been announced to begin the next stage of the campaign to stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). The TPP was made public 10 days from the actions.
The protest, co-sponsored by 59 organizations, is being spearheaded by Popular Resistance and Flush The TPP and includes environmental, human rights, labor, climate change and good government groups. They have been organizing this mobilization for months knowing that the TPP would be made public around this time.
“At its root, the TPP is about modern colonialism. It is the way that Western governments and their transnational corporations, including Wall Street banks, can dominate the economies of developing nations,” said Margaret Flowers, co-director of Popular Resistance. She continued “The reality is that without trade justice there cannot be climate justice, food justice; there cannot be health justice or wage justice. That is why people are mobilizing to stop the TPP.”
"It’s time for President Obama to keep his 2007 promise to label GMOs. In his own words, Obama declared it was our ‘right to know’ what we are eating, and we agree.
That’s why I have launched a White House petition asking Obama to keep his 2007 promise to enact GMO labeling nationwide.
The petition comes at a crucial turning point in the fight for GMO labeling, as the notorious ‘DARK Act‘ that would make GMO labeling illegal has been approved by the House of Representatives and is moving towards the Senate. The fate of the legislation, officially known as the ‘Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act,’ could soon come down to Obama’s signature (or veto). In other words, it’s now more essential than ever that we bring Obama’s 2007 promise to the national spotlight.
Otherwise, we could soon see the same President who promised GMO labeling sign off on a bill that would make it illegal.
Sign the Petition
We petition the Obama administration to: Keep Obama's 2007 Promise to Label GMOs
Dear Mr. President,
In your 2007 campaign speech, you promised to protect our 'right to know' what's in our food by labeling genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in the food supply.
Eight years later, and you have done nothing to act on this promise.
What's more, a food bill passed by the House called the 'DARK Act' could soon make mandatory GMO labeling illegal in the United States.
If you are to sign this bill into law, you would be doing the exact opposite of what you promised us in 2007.
Please deliver on your 2007 promise. Veto the DARK Act that would make GMO labeling illegal, and institute mandatory GMO labeling in the United States.
We have the right to know what we're eating.
Sincerely,
Anthony Gucciardi & millions of concerned citizen
In this most powerful expose yet on Zionist crimes in Palestine, Dr. David Duke exposes the horrific Zionist terror in Gaza and proves how Zionist influenced media around the world lies to us! Not only must we free Palestine, we must free the West and the whole world from Zionist Globalist tyranny!
Contact Your Senators and ask them to stop supporting the mass murder of Palestinian men, women, and children: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
Contact Your Congressmen and ask them to stop supporting the mass murder of Palestinian men, women, and children: https://beta.congress.gov/members
If we sit silently and do nothing, say nothing the mass murdering will continue. Why should any single group of people be given the right to kill? When will humanity say: 'No more killing' to Israel? You could begin to change this situation by contacting your Senators and Congressmen and telling them that you want them to stop supporting Israel and stop supporting the killing and maiming of thousands of innocent Palestinian men, women, and children trapped in the Gaza Ghetto by Israel.
