require extensive testing (at least 180 days) of all genetically modified organisms (GMO) sold in the US as food

I personally know many people who are concerned about genetically modified organisms (GMOs). While there have been some isolated studies recently showing effects of concern, most of these have been in other countries and not verified by American scientists. All we (the below-signed) are asking is that the American Government fund studies that will test the safety of these organisms for consumption by the American Public. Studies need to run much longer than the currently required 90 days--at least 180 days and preferrably two years or more. We respectfully request that this testing be done in a facility and by independent scientists that have never worked for Monsanto or any other company that creates GMO seeds so that there is no possibility of conflict of interest in the results.
