Ok, we are BEGGING!

Dear fellow Americans, friends and family members:

We are emailing you today about a critical situation that is in the

Senate THIS WEEK. Last week the Senate Ag committee put the National

Animal Identification System (NAIS) back into the 2007 Farm Bill

after we worked so hard to get it OUT of the farm bill in the House

(and we succeeded there). The Senate Ag committee not only put it

back in there at the last minute (cowards!), they also included a

provision that would prohibit Americans from using the Freedom of

Information Act to get any info from the NAIS database (which proves

that the federal government intended to have control of that database

all along, contrary to what they were telling us for the last 18

months!). This would effectively stop us as citizens from being able

to force them to give us information they hold even on our own

person. It also does away with the transparency that the FOIA forces

the government to keep and which we NEED in order to keep the

government as *honest* as possible. We have used the FOIA over and

over here at the state level for over a year as it is the only way

we've been able to force the government to give us information on

what they are doing with the NAIS in this state. The fact that we

have to go to these lengths to get that info is just another

indication that they really don't want people to know the TRUTH about

this monster!

For those in Arkansas, we also want to say that Sen. Blanche Lincoln

is on the Senate Ag committee. We don't know how she voted, yet, but

she'd been telling us for 18 months that she was against the NAIS.

Today, we are emailing all of you to BEG you to CALL your senators

TODAY (or tomorrow)!!!! This is now on the full Senate floor and up

for discussion and voting! If this is not stopped, it is the first

step to FEDERALIZE the NAIS. This is also proof that the actions

we've taken at the state levels to stop the NAIS *is* working!! They

are moving to get around us and the will of the people by going this

route. Don't let them get away with this! PLEASE!!!! HELP US stop

them and make them know that we will not tolerate underhanded moves

like this! Please read the note below and CALL your senators right

away. As we said, we are BEGGING you to do this! We are literally

fighting for our nation's sovereignty with this thing! Members of our

Arkansas Animal Producer's Association are also calling, etc., but we

need THOUSDANDS all over the nation doing this! They need to hear a

roar from all Americans like they've never heard before!

Then after you have called, please contact every person you know and

ask them to do the same thing - this will literally affect EVERY

person whether they own animals or not. Please let us know if you

have any questions.

Thank you for your help.

http://nonais.org NO TO THE NAIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Message:

· Take Section 10305 out of the Farm Bill because it implies approval

of USDA's implementation of NAIS. USDA has clearly shown that they

will use underhanded, deceptive and unethical practices in

order to force farmers into the program.

· Section 10305 also provides false reassurance that the information

in the databases will be confidential, when experience has shown that

information in databases is vulnerable to both hackers

and marketing misuse.

· Tell Senators Lincoln and Pryor that we need a REAL debate about

Animal ID in the Senate.

NAIS will drive independent ranches and farms in the US out of

business.

· NAIS creates an undue economic burden on producers, does not

include identification of imported meats, does nothing to increase

consumer choice or confidence and expands packers' ability to

unfairly discriminate against independent family farmers.

· Americans believe it is extremely important to ensure consumer

confidence in the safety and health of the U.S. food supply while at

the same time ensuring the economic viability of independent

livestock producers. However, NAIS does not meet the needs of

producers or consumers.

Your Call Can Make the Difference between Congressional Approval of

NAIS and a True Debate about the Negative Impacts of this Program!

For those in Arkansas, here is the contact info for our two senators.

senators, please let me know.
