Thanks to an outpouring of public outrage, the Senate has voted against a bill introduced by Senator Roberts that would keep us all in the DARK about what we’re eating. We are grateful to all the Senators who voted against cloture on the DARK Act today and stood up to represent the will of the people. We are thankful that the rules of the US Senate delayed consideration of the “Dark Act” until a proposal that is fair to consumers is on the table. We must continue to speak out because this is far from over!

Consumers have made it clear. Ninety percent of Americans want GMOs labeled on the package. Sixty four other nations have figured out how to effectively label GMOs without disrupting their food supply or increasing food costs. We are certain the federal government and the US economy can achieve the same success. Special interest talk of the “wrecking ball” heading for the US economy and its $82 billion cost has no credibility.
