Very urgent: Veto the DARK Act

I've seen a recommendation to say something like this:

I urge President Obama to veto the sham GMO labeling bill heading to his desk from the House. The FDA has commented that this bill would not even cover most current GMO foods. So it is a non-labeling bill masquerading as a labeling bill. The bill is also profoundly discriminatory. Instead of mandating clear on-package labels, this bill gives corporations the power to hide GE labeling behind digital QR codes that can only be read by smart phones.

We need a GMO labeling law that actually applies to all the GE foods in the marketplace and that assures the right to know of every American. Please veto this discriminatory and poorly written bill. Send it back to Congress until they get it right.
I suggest adding that the motivation for the bill, to keep Americans in the dark, is hostile to the public.
