<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I was at the board meeting of the San Jose Peace and Justice Center a couple of days ago when a rep from Move To Amend stated that the GMO labeling law in Vermont had been struck down by the US Supreme Court on the grounds that corporations have "negative free speech rights" allowing them to not state something on a food label if they so choose. I did an Internet search for any info on this and could only find this article:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>http://www.alternet.org/food/why-vermonts-governor-peter-shumlin-bowing-monsanto</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>which states that Vermont's governor is bowing to Monsanto because he fears that a GMO labeling law will be struck down just as the rgbh labeling law was struck down, but in fact no such Supreme Court decision has been made, not even in the case of the Rbgh labeling law. Please keep your facts straight when discussing the pros and cons of corporate personhood. Thanks.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sincerely,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>John Thielking</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>PS: If such a GMO labeling law were struck down on the basis of negative free speech rights, this could throw out ALL of the requirements that food have ingredient and nutrition labels, which just seems laughable.</DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></DIV></DIV></DIV><BR><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV><BR><BR></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV><!--~-|**|PrettyHtmlStart|**|-~-->
