Subject: Oppose H.R. 1599 and Protect States' and Individuals' Rights
 
As a constituent, I urge you to reject H.R. 1599, Rep. Pompeo's so-called “Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act,” which would prohibit states from requiring the labeling of genetically engineered foods, or GMOs.
 
We have a right to know what is in our food so that we can make educated decisions about the food we eat. This bill does not meet the concerns of Americans about what's in their food. What it really does is deny states the right to pass meaningful mandatory GMO food labeling bills.
 
The free market can only work when consumers have the information they need to make informed choices among different products. It is absurd to claim that voluntary labeling addresses the issue. In the 14 years that FDA has allowed companies to voluntarily label genetically engineered foods, not one single company has done so. Without mandatory labeling, consumers are effectively being defrauded.
 
The bill goes even further by forbidding state and local governments from any sort of oversight of GMO crops, even when the federal government has declined or failed to regulate them. Yet these local controls have been adopted in areas based on overwhelming public support, and in order to protect very valuable non-GMO agricultural industries. It is undemocratic and bad for our economy to overturn these local laws.
 
Please stand up for states' and consumers' rights and vote NO on H.R. 1599.
 
Sincerely,
[Name]
