Send in Testimony on GMO bill by noon Monday

Send to:  counciltestimony@co.hawaii.hi.us

Sample testimony below:

Aloha Council members,

Please support Bill 113 Draft 2
I oppose the amendments in Comm. 393.52/393.53/ 393.54/ 393.55

I believe Bill 113 Draft 2 is an important stand for the democratic rights  of citizens of Hawaii county against the overdue influence of corporate agribusiness.  Bill 113 is an important step to  protect Hawaii County and the planet from the toxic influence of GMO crops.

By passing Bill 113 draft 2 we are saying  STOP the continued corruption of our democracy by corporate money, stop the poisoning of our environment,  stop the loss of biodiversity and the continued assault on the basic rights of farmers and citizens around the world by GMO corporations such as Monsanto.

Hawaii County can be a model of sustainability for the world.  Passing Bill 113 draft 2 is a very positive step in the right direction.
Mahalo.

Jim Albertini,
farmer in Kurtistown for 33 years.
