Dark Act 2015

Supporters of the DARK Act! Is your representative listed?

The first is its bland, official name: The Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act of 2015. The second is the nickname given by its opponents: Deny Americans the Right to Know (DARK) Act.Jul 20, 2015

(Sec. 113) STATE and LOCAL requirements for GMO food are preempted by this Act.
(Sec. 303) State and local requirements for the term “natural” are PREEMPTED by FDA regulations.

H.R. 1599 would negate all of these laws, and more–according to the Center for Food Safety. The preemption language in the bill would nullify over a hundred local laws that, directly or indirectly, regulate genetically engineered crops. This is a DIRECT violation of the Declaration of Independence! The power of GOVERNMENT is limited by the power of the STATES/PEOPLE!

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed!
