> Hey,
> 
> We only have till 4/30/98 to make our voices heard on the proposed rule,
which
> most organic growers, and even the National Organic Board is strongly
opposed
> to because it permits the use of sewer sludge, genetic
> enginneering,irradiation etc.
> It also creates a cumbersome , and possibly expensive certification
process
> that will be a real burden to the small, local growers that I believe
should
> be encouraged or even subsidized.
> Please make voice your concerns, and get your friends to do so also.
> Keep those cards and letters pouring in. 
> For those who have not yet submitted
> >their 2 cents on the proposed ruling, point your browsers at
> ><http://www.we-2.com/popc/organic.html
> >for an easy automated form letter to the President and dozens of
> >representatives down the line.
> >Please do it now.   frank
