OMG the Big Island Of Hawaii just passed it's GMO Bill [View all]

OMG GMO Bill 113 Passed!

SUBHEAD: OMG WE DID IT!!! GMO BILL 113 HAS PASSED! Mahalo Hawaii.

WOOHOO! WE DID IT! BILL #113 has passed the final reading by the full council. The bill will now go to our honorable Mayor Billy Kenoi who has 10 business days to uphold the will of the people and the Hawai`i County Council or to veto the bill sending it back to the
council for further consideration.

We ask for your continued support on the following two items: Write a letter to thank our councilmembers for protecting the health and preservation of our community and protection of Hawai's agricultural lands, encourage our Mayor Billy Kenoi to sign Bill 113 into law.
