Congress Can Stop GM Salmon!
Take Action: Tell Your Member of Congress to Cosponsor H.R.521 & Vote for CR Amendment No. 491!

When the Food & Drug Administration took public comments on genetically engineered salmon last Fall21095 Organic Consumers Association activists sent letters urging the FDA to block Frankenfish. We expect the FDA to release an environmental assessment of the GM salmon any day nowand when they dowe'll have another 30 days to submit public commentsbut FDA approval seems all but certain.

Thankfullythere are members of CongressRepublicans and Democrats alikewho are committed to stopping GM salmoneven if Obama's FDA gives it the green light. These Congresspersons know that GM salmon just isn't safe. Worse than even "normal" factory farmed fishwhich are often deformed and disease-riddenGM salmon is less nutritiousmore likely to trigger allergiesand could increase cancer-risks in the people who eat it.

Please contact your Member of Congress and urge them to cosponsor H.R.521Rep. Don Young (R-AL)'s bill to ban GM salmonand vote for H.R.1 Amendment No. 491Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-CA)'s effort to include a ban on GM salmon in the 2011 Continuing Resolution.
