Organic Consumers Political Survey

Filed under Organic Style / Organic Substance

Organic Consumers Fund, the lobbying sister organization of the Organic Consumers Association, has launched a political candidate survey and voters guide to the 2006 election. This is a cooperative effort, and you can help.

You can send the 17-question survey to political candidates. First question, “1. Do you think organic agriculture should receive a fair share (at least 2.5%) of government resources spent on agriculture?” Well, yes! Better than just sending the survey, you could work to educate local and national legislators about the importance of maintaining standards for organic agriculture.

The steps are easy:

  1. Find Your State Page
  2. Scroll Down to Read Your State’s Survey Results
  3. Lookup Missing Candidates in Your State
  4. Add Candidates and Automatically Send Them the Survey
  5. Contact Candidates Who Haven’t Yet Answered the Survey

The survey will be as thorough as we, the organic consumers, make it.
