While on the campaign trail in 2007, Barack Obama promised to label GMO foods if elected. Now's the time! Today, an estimated 80% of processed foods contain GMOs. Tell President Obama you agree that the U.S. needs GMO labeling "because Americans should know what they're buying".

For the past 20 years, Americans have been denied the right to know what's in their food. Help make this the Change We Can Believe In: Label GMOs!


Never before seen footage: Obama caught on camera promising to label GMO food.

The video is a rare opportunity for those of us who demand the right to know what's in our food. A sitting President on the record saying he will label GMOs on camera is unprecedented.

As Americans we have a right to know what we're buying and feeding our families every day. Whether or not you supported President Obama during the election, join us in calling on him to be true to his word: label food that has been genetically engineered in high-tech laboratories.

An estimated 75 to 80% of the processed food that Americans eat every day contains GMO ingredients. Please take a brief moment to watch this powerful one-minute video and then sign the letter to President Obama asking him to make labeling of GMOs mandatory as he promised during the 2007 Iowa caucus.

Then please pass it along to at least 5 friends who you think will take action on this important issue and want to know about what's in their food.

Thank you!

Do you think that Americans know what they’re buying at the grocery store? Chances are they don’t.

According to the Grocery Manufacturers Association an estimated 75 to 80% of processed foods sold in the U.S. contain ingredients that have been genetically modified in high-tech laboratories, known as GMOs (or genetically modified organisms).

For the past 20 years Americans have been denied their basic right to know because of a flawed regulatory system that has relied on corporate science without adequate peer-reviewed testing and scientific oversight. Recent polling has shown that 93% of Americans support mandatory labeling of GMOs.

Fortunately we have a president that agrees with labeling GMOs: In 2007 President Obama promised to label GMOs in a campaign speech stating that he'll "let folks know whether their food has been genetically modified". Today we stand behind President Obama in urging him to fulfill his promise.

In the fall of 2007, then Senator Barack Obama was jockeying for second place in the Iowa caucus, the first in the nation electoral contest in the 2008 election. On November 10th, Senator Obama spoke in front of an audience of more than 400 farmers and rural activists, pledging to promote local foods, sustainable agriculture and the labeling of GMO foods if elected.

Half way into his speech, Obama said:

“Here’s what I’ll do as President. I’ll immediately implement Country of Origin Labeling because Americans should know where their food comes from. And we’ll let folks know whether their food has been genetically modified because Americans should know what they’re buying,â€
