Yes, you have a right to speak, and no, I don't think this rises to the level of a serious conflict of interest. What concerns me is the amount of political "capital" you are willing to expend on what is beginning to look like a fanatical position on a single issue. You occasionally remind us that you have other goals and projects in mind, but all we seem to hear about is GMO, GMO, GMO. This either shows us that you are unable to get your agenda in front of your constituents in a prioritized manner or that you are letting your opponents on this issue take control of the it. Either way, it does not portend well for success. A lot of us are questioning your judgement, and a GMO backlash could be on the way.
