It really was a beautiful sight. 

I don’t know how even the most jaded politician could believe this is the right thing to do. It makes me furious. Our democracy is on shaky ground.

“Giant food, chemical and biotech corporations have spent millions of dollars to block our right to know what’s in our food. Their latest effort is to pass what’s been called the DARK (Deny Americans the Right to Know) Act. It would preempt GMO labeling laws already passed in Connecticut, Maine and Vermont and obstruct mandatory federal labeling of GMOs.

That’s why Farm Aid Board Members Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp and Dave Matthews are calling on President Obama to use his influence to stand up for transparency in our food system and stop the DARK Act rider.

Join them in asking President Obama to stand up for what Americans want.
