Dear Readers,

Big Food is at it again.

Rep. Mike Pompeo (R- Kan.) and his industry lobbyist pals are pulling out all the stops today in an effort to breathe new life into the Deny Americans the Right to Know – or DARK – Act. They’ll be on Capitol Hill briefing Congress in support of this bill that would block states from requiring labeling of genetically engineered ingredients and even let foods with GE ingredients be labeled “natural.” **We have to make sure we’re louder – right now.**

More than 84,000 EWG supporters have already called on their members of Congress to oppose the DARK Act. Will you join today and help us get to 100,000?

[**Click here to tell your representative that you deserve to know the truth about what you’re eating!**](http://action.ewg.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=AYicf5ZoSlIJHVXMCKT9bLpOgZnlB1D4&ref=foodconsumer.org)

EWG has been on the front lines fighting for GE food labeling laws such as the one recently passed in Vermont, and we know what it takes to win these battles: you.

**Your representative needs to hear not just from industry lobbyists for companies such as Monsanto and Kraft but from the 93 percent of Americans who support labeling GE foods. Please make your voice heard today.**

[**Click here to take action right now. Tell your representative to oppose the DARK Act!**](http://action.ewg.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=UxtepDHzTSEG06NgXYBCQmRTUePSZmKN&ref=foodconsumer.org)

Thank you for taking action and standing up for your basic right to know.

Sincerely,  
  
Ken Cook  
President, Environmental Working Group
