GMO petition to reject the application to grow genetically modified organisms (GMO's)on Boulder County land

Some locals here in Boulder Colorado have started a grass roots organization loosely structured to accomplish the goal of letting our County Commissioners know we wish them to reject GMO’s on County Open Space. Please sign the petition or write your County Commissioner at commissioners@co.boulder.co.us

Anti GMO Petition wording:

We, the undersigned citizens of Boulder County, strongly request the County Commissioners to reject the application to grow genetically modified organisms (GMO's)on Boulder County land.

We simply need the name (printed) address and signature of Boulder County residents.

HOW YOU CAN HELP BEFORE THE AUG. 25th COUNTY COMMISIONERS MEETING:
1. Agree to be volunteer by helping to get signatures to our “No GMOs in Boulder” petition:
a. E-mail Sylvia@freshideasgroup.com for info. and petition signature doc

Asking for signatures at the Boulder Farmers' Market today we received over 400 signatures from Boulder County Residents. Thank you. We had volunteers at the Longmont Farmers' Market also and received almost 100 there.
