After you submit your testimony, please take just one more minute to call council members directly. We know that those opposed to natural taro -- like the big chemical corporations -- have been visiting council members, so it is important to make sure the voices for taro are heard loud and clear. So, please, pick up your phone and ask Maui Council Members to support Bill 09-100 and help protect taro from genetic modification.
