Last weekend, I was wearing my "Yes on 37" button when I ran into some friends. Our isolated mountain town is full of "Yes on 37" yard signs. I have NEVER seen a sign or a button saying no. My friends joked that they were starting a "No on 37" movement since there really didn't seem to be one; at least at the level of the people. Remember, corporations are NOT, in fact, people. We stood on the street in front of our food cooperative inventing slogans for the no campaign. "Ignorance is Bliss!" "I Don't Want to Know" "Keep Me in the Dark" "Treat Me Like a Mushroom (Keep Me in the Dark and Feed Me Sh*t)" "No on 37 - TMI!" We laughed and laughed at the thought of it.
We don't watch television at our house so I have not seen any of the ads either way but today I came across this video on YouTube that takes the same tack as my friends and I did the other day. It is less than 2 minutes long and great. Watch it here:
Enjoy and remember to vote Yes on 37 if you are a California voter!
Good one!!
ReplyDeleteSadly the ads on TV are having an effect. I'm doing what I can including sending out emails to people reminding them that they should not be fooled by Monsanto et al. I enjoy reading your blog, btw.

ReplyDeleteKaren, I don't know how I sent you 2 comments. They were identical so I deleted one.
Deletemaggiejean, thank you for your comments as always. It will be very discouraging if 37 somehow doesn't pass. Polls show clearly that the people want the labeling by a large margin.....
DeleteHopefully it will pass next time and they are working on one for here in Oregon too!! We will keep our fingers crossed.
