Oregon GMO labeling supporters submit signatures as opponents call initiative 'costly,' 'misleading' | OregonLive.com: "
SALEM -- GMO labeling supporters and opponents began trading barbs Wednesday even before supporters submitted an estimated 155,661 signatures in an attempt to qualify the initiative for the November ballot.
The attacks offered a preview of each side's talking points in what many political observers expect could be the most expensive initiative campaign in Oregon history.
Shortly after 11 a.m., about 50 Oregon GMO Right to Know supporters stood on the Capitol steps beside 10 boxes of petition sheets they planned to submit. Campaign organizers struck a confident tone and said Oregonians have a right to know the contents of their food.
They also pledged to run a grass-roots campaign to counter the millions of dollars they expect food and biotechnology companies to donate to the opposition campaign."
