2. This could make history. We could be the first state to pass a labeling statue at the ballot box.

All of the other states that have GMO labeling laws in place have passed them through the legislature. It's no wonder that it has the most money spent on this measure than any other ballot measure in Oregon election history. Really hope we pass this and vote down 90.

We have a very significant portion of the world's organic farmers in this state. THEY deserve a break that the Monsanto's, etc. are trying to falsely claim that those who don't grow organically are going to have their costs increased, when those who DO introduce products in to a market that adds costs over things like health and environmental costs should be the party that bears the costs of that change, not those that have been trying to farm like they've traditionally farmed.
