Tom, Is there a Bill or Bills as a result of these lobbying efforts?   
Do you
have the bill numbers or names?  I found out late yesterday that I  
have a
deadline this week that I didn't know about but when I get a minute, I'd
like to read them if it's come to that.

Esther,

The Mendocino County, CA. ballot measure banning growing GMO passed  
in 2004. It was called Measure H. Additionally, Marin and Sonoma  
counties (also in CA.) passed similar measures.

Sonoma measure: http://www.sonoma-county.org/agcomm/pdf/

Marin measure: http://www.organicconsumers.org/biod/marinimpact31105.cfm

  The California state Senate introduced SB 1056 last session (2005)  
which didn't pass but could be reintroduced this session (2006).  
Since I live in Oregon I am not totally up to date on California  
legislation.

More info on this and a lot of GMO info:
