Alert from the Center for Food Safety

Partial quotes:
Bill denies local or state rights to regulate genetically engineered  
crops or food. This would wipe out the restrictions passed by voters  
in four California counties and two cities, and the *California Rice  
Certification Act*, which prohibits the introduction of GE rice  
varieties without state approval.

Local and state laws pertaining to GE crops have also been passed in Colorado,
Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina,  
Oregon, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin.

The biotech industry and big agribusiness have been trying to push  
similar bills in dozens of states across the country, and also at the  
Federal level with last year's so-called "Food Uniformity" bill. Now  
they want to sneak it into a committee hearing and hide it in the Farm  
Bill.
