[A Wilson]

> Hi All,
>
> The NY Assembly Committee on Consumer Affairs and Protection has  
> decided to hold a hearing on July 30th for GMO Labeling Bill A3525- 
> A. It will be held on the Lehman College Campus in the Bronx, NY, at  
> 10 am. Details are here: http://assembly.state.ny.us/comm/Consumer/20130716/ 
> .
>
> It is incredibly important that we fill the seats of this room with  
> GMO labeling advocates from New York. Can you help us make this  
> hearing a standing room only event and garner it the attention our  
> bill deserves by spreading this news? The posting on the GMO Free NY  
> Facebook page can be seen here: on.fb.me/13wjwSK. Please feel free  
> to copy and share or modify in any way. But please do share all of  
> this information with as many social media outlets, email lists,  
> friends, colleagues, and organizations you know. Our showing MUST  
> impress the committee so that when the bill's sponsor --  
> Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal -- reintroduces the bill at the start  
> of the next legislative session in January 2014, it is immediately  
> voted upon and moved through the Assembly to a floor vote. (And then  
> hopefully the Senate will do the same!)
>
> Testimony is by invitation only, but written testimony can be  
> submitted and sent no later than August 5th to:
