GE-Release
Bill On Table
The `GE-Release Bill of Labour Party backing is back in parliament
within
days.
The bill allows commercial release in NZ from October 2003.
If you oppose
the release of GE organisms into the environment it would be
timely to send
a message of protest now. Following is a suggested letter, plus
email
addresses of key MP's if you want to email the letter to them.
If possible send a hard copy by printing and posting to all/any
of the
MP's, see list below. "Freepost" Parliament Buildings, Wellington.
This is a sample letter: insert the name of the MP and add your
name and
contact details.

Dear
APRIL 2002
Don't let GE contamination destroy the right to eat GE-Free
food. The
threat of the uncontrollable spread of GE has been proved. On
18 April 2002
the Mexican government announced massive contamination of native
corn
has occurred. (see www.guardian.co.uk/gmdebate).
I ask that you to vote against allowing GE releases to be approved
from
October 2003 and amend this clause in the HSNO legislation currently
before
parliament.
To support an international 5-year moratorium on GE releases
as called for
by the Physicians and Scientists for Responsible Genetics (PSRG)
To oppose any moves by industry that will destroy supplies of
GE-Free food
and force acceptance of "a bit" of GE , even in organic food.
Please confirm in writing that you will do this to protect our
basic rights
to choose, the economy, and our environment from what has already
been
found in Mexico.
Yours sincerely,
