Urgent communiqué for those who are concerned about GMO's

At the website Regulations.gov, there is an open comment period on genetically engineered foods (organisms). 
To view the proposed rule, supporting documents, and the comments USDA has  received, go to:
http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspublic/component/main?main=DocketDetail&d=APHIS-2008-0023

To date there are currently very few comments and there are  millions of people that are concerned about GMO's . A New York Times poll found 53% of Americans won't buy genetically modified food. Please work to get many more consumers and organic stakeholders to comment against GMO’s by accessing the following website:

Importation, Interstate Movement, and Release Into the Environment of Certain Genetically Engineered Organisms
