Wash. State Lawsuit Reveals Which Corporations Laundered Money To Fight GMO Labeling

The Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) was forced to reveal which corporate members it laundered anti-GMO labeling donation cash for Friday, following Wednesday’s lawsuit filed by Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson.
LaunderFinal2After receiving major public backlash for donating millions to defeat California’s labeling proposition last year, GMA members began funneling donation money through a “Defense of Brands Strategic Account,” set up to conceal which specific members opposed Washington’s labeling Initiate 522, illegal under state campaign disclosure laws.
“The people of Washington demand transparency in elections.  I’m pleased that the GMA board recognized this responsibility to disclose the names of corporate contributors to oppose Initiative 522, and the amount of this contribution,” Ferguson said.
Of the 34 members who hid over $7.2 million in donation cash, the same familiar corporations topped the list. PepsiCo, spending $1,620,899, Nestle USA, Inc., with $1,057,743, and The Coca-Cola Co., with $1,047,332. Unsurprisingly, all three were major contributors against California’s Prop. 37.
The full list with links to varying contact information including Facebook pages includes:
PepsiCo, Inc. – $1,620,899
Nestle USA Inc. – $1,052,743
The Coca-Cola Company – $1,047,332
General Mills Inc. – $598,819
ConAgra Foods – $285,281
Campbell Soup Company – $265,140
The Hershey Company – $248,305
The J.M. Smucker Company – $241,091
Kellogg Company – $221,852
Mondelez Global LLC – $144,895
Flowers Foods Inc. – $141,288
Abbott Nutrition – $127,459
Pinnacle Foods Group LLC – $120,846
Dean Foods Company – $120,245
McCormick & Company Inc – $102,208
Land O’Lakes, Inc. – $99,803

The ONLY real answer to GMO is BANNED from U.S. PERIOD. Labeling and any other "posturing" is a compromise. We do NOT compromise with TERRORISTS. Monsanto is a terrorist, our foods, our bees, our air. BAN MONSANTO. BAN GMO. nuff said.

Civil disobedience.

A peaceful revolution.

Or take up arms and use them.

Get off your knees.
