1. This link isn't working for me.....

let me ask you something, I read a bit on a vote ready to come up on this about 10 days ago, and then heard nothing... what stage is this in? What's the next step??? I was trying to follow through on it for a friend, and have not had much luck....

Any info, greatly appreciated...TIA

2. quote from the webpage

More specifically the industry’s amendments:

* could permanently allow synthetic processing aids and food contact substances, including over 500 food contact substances, to be used in organic foods without any type of public review for their safety and compatibility with organic production and processing.
* leave unresolved whether young dairy cows could be treated with antibiotics and then converted to organic after twelve months;
* create a serious new loophole in which organic ingredients could be substituted with non-organic ingredients without any consumer notice based upon “emergency decrees.”

KEEP THE ORGANIC LABEL TRUTHFUL – REJECT THE INDUSTRY’S AMENDMENTS
==============================================
I don't know what stage the legislation is in.

The link works for me. Maybe the website was down temporarily.

I still can't find what the status is on this, very frustrating.

3. this is extremely important ...

if mega-agri-business demands abolute control of our food supply, and that's what they're trying to do, we have to fight back ...

thanks for posting this ...
