| Message | This bill is more anti-farm than our policies. And considering our policies have always been haralded by the farming community I am being generous. To ban gm would be to gut the whole farming system and crash that market. Farmers cant afford that! We must maintain a free market, the freer the people the stronger the people. |

| Message | We believe GM Crops' side effects and general effects on the ecosystem are not well established yet. We stand for traditional farming methods and thus oppose GM crops. Francois Roemer FLL Agriculture Spokesman |
