Hi, thanks for contacting us at Organic Consumers Association. You are

currently on our email action alert/weekly updates list.

There are several options for helping us.

issues and the work of the OCA), our free online bi-weekly

newsletter,please subscribe. You can help recruit new subscribers to

Organic View. See below my signature for instructions on how to subscribe

Campaign for Food Safety News (formerly Food Bytes), our free online

monthly alert. You can help recruit new subscribers to our

newsletters. See under my signature for instructions on how to subscribe to

both Organic View and Campaign for Food Safety

Volunteers:

- We need individuals to help identify coops/health stores in your area

that do not have our Save Organic Standards-SOS flyers. Send us

their name, address and telephone number and we will contact them.

Coordinators:

- We need city/regional/state coordinators that can help distribute action

alerts to stores, organizations and groups that are not hooked up to email

and that are not in our data base. You can help us develop a local data

base of activists and those interested in the issues (for email, fax, and

telephone " trees " ). Make sure you visit our web site on a regular basis

for new articles and information.

Donations:

- We need donations to help pay for flyers and posters. Donations can be

sent to: OCA, 860 Highway 61, Little Marais, MN 55614

Action:

- We need people to contact their elected Congressional senators and

representatives, the United States Department of Agriculture, the

President and Vice-President about the importance of strong organic

standards.

president@...(President Bill Clinton)

vice.president@... (VP Al Gore)

agsec@...(Dan Glickman, Secretary of the US Department of Agriculture)

- Write letters to the editor on organic issues.

- Email this message to everyone on your email lists.

Also, please send me your complete address, phone and fax so I can

add you to our data base and connect you with other activists in

your area.

We are gearing up for the second round of USDA's Organic Standards. We have

free display packets available to send to coops/buying

clubs/organizations/stores that include: 1 poster, counter top

display holder and 100 flyers to inform your members/consumers about the

second round of USDA's Organic Standards. Please let me know if

you would like a display packet sent to you or if you know of a

store that hasn't received our pkt. of information.

The Organic Consumer Association group is a new national grassroots

consumers campaign which grew out of the massive organic consumer response

to the USDA's first round on Organic Standards(270,000 comments were

submitted). Many of you are getting Campaign for Food Safety News (formerly

Food Bytes) and were actively involved in the Save Organic Standards - SOS

campaign during the first round.

The OCA has speakers available but we do need transportation/lodging

expenses paid for and an honorarium.

Reminder!!! Send this out to everyone on your email lists.

Thanks

Debbie
