Question on GMO feed

Alaska and Washington State have made laws now banning the growth of GMO Salmon in the event that the FDA approves it. I'm really pleased about that.
Do you have a link where we can find these laws.

Alright, here is one: http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-n...f/2013/03/alaska_legislature_passes_reso.html
I need to sort through days of history to find the original list, but give me a few and I will come up with it. One county in WA state has also recently banned the planting of any GM crops. Personally, I will not eat nor feed my children or my animals anything that is GM. I feel that it is my right as a consumer to have the ultimate choice as to what I purchase. To say that I should have to purchase only more expensive organic products to "ensure" this is discriminatory. Big part of the reason that we are growing a huge garden this year, I've got my Grandmother's books on canning and preserving, we're raising our own chickens for meat and eggs. There may not be a lot of independent research into GMO's out there, but the history of companies like Monsanto who told us that Agent Orange and DDT were safe is enough for me. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

More allegations with no proof
Much of my information came from universities, and NOT just the Govt.
Where have I resorted to name calling or silly rambling not related at all to the topic?
Feel free to show your examples
