Subject: PLEASE RESPECT US CITEZENS!!!!!!!!

God help THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!  Please follow the advise of the millions of  CITIZENS, who reserve the right to KNOW what is in their food.  Resend ANY legislation that calls for genetically altered foods  to be unlabeled and sold as the food that animals and humans have eaten for perhaps millions of years.
 
  As a CITIZEN of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA I feel that it is your moral mandate to ignore ALL parties who would benefit financially from Genetically Engineered food being fully unmarked and unleashed on the American public and side with the PEOPLE on this matter.  Your office has already received postcards in the hundreds of thousands what more could you morally ask for?  It is probably possible that the people will tire and give up but I remain slightly optimistic.  I believe that there must be someone in the FDA who is willing to side with CITIZENS of this great country.  

The adoption of European standards on this matter is still lenient in my opinion, but at least it makes moral and ethical sense.  The manner in which the FDA has responded to the public leads many of it's Citizens to speculate the source of your loyalty.  Please restore some hope and trust in our governmental agencies by assuring the consumers "right to know."
 
Thank you,
And may GOD bless and protect the innocent.
