Strange political currents here. There's been evidence that the anti-GMO forces in Hawai'i have been funded by large "organic" corporations from the mainland:

But now, in an interesting turn, there seems to be a marshaling of right wing political forces against the large organic mega-corporations and their funding of anti-GMO campaigns. The link cited by pahoated is to a web site produced by Alex Jones, pretty much the frothing-at-the-mouth right winger as you can get, in the Breitbart mold.
But I also recently received an unsolicited email from the Hawaii Free Press, apparently a publication for the vestige right wing in Hawai'i. The email had links to their various articles, many featuring the usual frothy load of tea party-style scary Obama stories. But also there were several articles decrying the anti-GMO movement and its funding by the large corporations that have taken over many of the original small organic food and products companies, much like the Alex Jones site's article.
In typical right wing ideology corporations can do no wrong and regulations are anathema. So is regulating GMO labeling provoking their attitude? Hard to believe they are on the side of science after all their climate change denial.
