TEMPORARY VICTORY - LET'S BAN FRANKENFISH ...FOREVER!!!


It's Time to Ban Frankenfish for Good!
Ask Your Senators to Co-sponsor the Bill to Ban GE Salmon.


Dear Clean Food,

We've stopped GE salmon so far. Let's keep it up!


  
Tell your senator to co-sponsor a bill to ban
GE salmon! 

Thanks to concerned people like you, the FDA has not yet approved genetically engineered salmon. Although we thought a decision could be reached by the end of 2010, the FDA has not yet approved GE salmon and we aren't waiting for them to make up their minds! With a new Congress this year, now's the time to move forward.

This week, Senator Mark Begich of Alaska introduced a bill to ban GE salmon. 
Can you ask your senators to take a stand and co-sponsor the bill?
With your help, Food & Water Watchdelivered over 90,000 comments against the approval of GE salmon last year. GE salmon poses serious risks to human health, wild fish populations, and the environment. A number of senators have already publicly opposed GE salmon by writing letters to the FDA and President Obama, and now we need them to co-sponsor the bill to ban GE salmon.
Will you ask your senators to support you and your family by co-sponsoring a ban on Frankenfish?

Approving the first genetically engineered animal slated for human consumption without proper rigorous scientific review is a serious threat that cannot be ignored. Help us build momentum - ask your senators to support consumers and the environment by co-sponsoring the bill:
