The Oregon House Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources heard testimony Thursday regarding three bills concerning genetically modified organisms including labeling initiatives and an outright ban on the importation of genetically-engineered fish.

Mandates...

Mandates suck, but this one I can definitely tolerate.

Next we can outlaw ALL Gen-mod'd food altogether and keep it from ever crossing the Oregon border. If they control the market we're going to speak out in other ways. If they quiet the legislation, we'll take to the streets. If they take away the streets we will be in their heads. Then the only way to silence us if Off With Their Heads.
