ACTION ALERT: Congress Voting to Repeal COOL Next Week

June 4, 2015 By Ron Sylvester Leave a Comment

keepcool-410There will be a vote in the House next on the COOL Repeal bill. We are asking members of Congress to speak out against COOL. Please call your member of Congress today and tell them Americans have the right to know where their food comes from and you would like them to speak AGAINST repeal on the House floor next week. Here’s the Action Alert from the National Farmers Union:

Next week is going to be a very tough week for popular labeling law Country-of-Origin Labeling (COOL). NFU expects the bill to repeal major parts of the law to be on the House floor between Tuesday and Thursday!

Please call your House member and ask him/her to speak against the COOL repeal bill when the debate is on the floor. Please let each office know that NFU will be scoring this vote and we will be watching to see who speaks against the bill. Thank them for their help; a vote against the repeal bill is a vote for family farmers, ranchers and consumers.

The more speakers we have the less votes will go towards repealing COOL. Please make the call to your representative today! The Capitol switchboard is 202-224-3121.

Here’s a COOL Fact Sheet
