Gov. Shumlin: Get on the Train
in the Direction It’€™s Moving!

In case the Governor of Vermont, Peter Shumlin, hasn’€™t noticed, consumers are winning. Monsanto is losing. Isn’t it time he came over to the winning side?
 
Last year, Gov. Shumlin said he couldn’€™t support a GMO labeling law after Monsanto threatened to sue the state if the law passed. Vermont just couldn’€™t afford a lawsuit, he said. This year, the law has been written specifically to stand up against Monsanto’€™s threats, yet the governor is again dragging his heels. What’€™s up? Face it, Governor Shumlin. Consumers are winning this battle. Washington State is likely to pass I-522, a citizen’€™s initiative to label GMOs, in November. Big Food companies have abandoned biotech, and are now talking (behind the scenes) about a national GMO labeling law. And the country’€™s largest organic retail chain, Whole Foods, is going to start voluntarily labeling. We’€™re winning. But we need a win in Vermont to help seal the deal. It’€™s time for Gov. Shumlin to get on board!
