Help us stop the threat from corporate agribusiness- every dollar you give will be tripled by an anonymous donor!

In the most ambitious power grab we've ever seen, corporate agribusiness is trying to write itself into the Ohio constitution- and if it succeeds there, you can be sure that this greedy play will be made in other states.   I'm working with small farmers and other concerned citizens to prevent that threat from becoming a reality- and we only have one week to defeat this ballot initiative. Can you help us fund radio ads to defeat this terrible takeover?

While masquerading as an attempt to improve food safety and animal welfare, Issue 2 would give a board of political appointees unchecked power to decide any and all regulations related to animal agriculture. The board could make decisions that radically shift policy in any direction on issues like the use of antibiotics and growth hormones, genetically engineered animals, cloned animals, animal ID and traceability, and factory farm zoning reguations.

Proponents of Issue 2 are running a multi-million dollar campaign to trick voters into thinking that Issue 2 will support safe, local food from small farmers.  We're going to run radio ads to counter this slick campaign so voters learn the truth about Issue 2.  It's vital that we raise $45,000 by Wednesday, October 28th to pay for these ads.   Every dollar you give will actually be worth three, because an anonymous donor will pitch in two dollars for every dollar donated up to $45,000. Please give today - every ad that we can rush onto the airwaves will make a difference in stopping this agribusiness power grab.
