A lobbying group for major U.S. food manufacturers continues to run afoul of campaign finance laws in the way that it has contributed funds to block a measure that would require labeling of genetically modified foods in Washington state, according to a statement issued Wednesday by the state's attorney general. State Attorney General Bob Ferguson said he will amend a lawsuit filed October 16 to raise the total amount he alleges the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) illegally concealed to $11 million, from the $7.2 million in the original complaint. GMA represents some of the world's largest food and beverage companies and is lobbying heavily against the measure known as I-522 that is set for a public vote in Washington state on November 5. GMA is the largest contributor to the "No on 522" campaign.

But before you assume that public opinion is about to shift on the death penalty like it has on gay marriage and marijuana legalization, Gallup also has this chart which shows that a plurality of Americans are in favor of executing more criminals, with 44 percent saying that it needs to be imposed more often compared to the 22 percent who say it's imposed too often.
