Ammunition request...

April 25, 2012

Bet that subject line got your attention

Alvin's trial is coming up soon and airline tickets need to be purchased for

those who are taking time out of their own lives, families, and businesses to

fly in and support us in fighting for our food freedom. I am writing now to ask

those of you here, in Minnesota, to please help support the costs associated

with this event. Whether or not you know Alvin or get your food from him what

happens to Alvin does affect you- too long we have sat back and allowed the MN

Department of Ag to terrorize our farmers, and this is witnessed firsthand by

those that happen to be there when the seizure happens.

I haven't happened to be there at any of them- the Trad Food warehouse raids, or

when Alvin's truck and contents were seized while he delivered eggs to college

students, or when RaeLynn's home was searched to name a few. The element of

surprise seems to be one of the MDA's weapons. Once it was captured, in part, on

video when Hartmann's truck was blocked in by MDA officials and police.

Here's what wasn't caught on video that day: before there were any other

witnesses a mother had arrived with her children to pick up her milk. She was

told by police that she'd better get back in her car or her kids would be going

to the St Joe's orphanage.

That could have been any one of us. After raw milk, what's next?

It is no longer enough to pay our farmer, shake his hand, and let him know we

support him. Alvin is facing court dates-he has 21 counts of misdemeanors and

administrative charges, fines, lawyer fees, and jail time. We each need to do

our part in this, Alvin has given more than his share, and dollars and cents are

what it takes to stand up and be heard-

To paraphrase Mark Baker, one of the pig farmer under attack in Michigan:

" Dollars are the bullets in this fight " We need ammo. Please donate whatever you

can here:
