MatlockTennessee House of Representatives301 6th Avenue NorthNashville, TN 37243-0121Representative Matlock:Dear Representative Matlock, I would like to respectfully ask that youPLEASE vote against this bill HR2749. W e must stop it. This bill is aserious impingement on the freedoms of small farmers and consumers. Thisbill will: 1.) Mandate NAIS--which is a total power grab by the govt andwill put many small farmers out of business 2.) Allow industrializationsof all farms--do we need more industrial food? 3.) Give the federalgovernment arbitrary power to force any practices they choose on anyfarm--self-explanat ory 4.) Allow the federal government to outlaw rawmilk--my family and many others I know drink raw milk for health and welove it! It should not be in the hands of the

feds to outlaw thiswonderful healthy product! This bill will not create the food safety itclaims (it's actually called The Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009). Itwill make the our food supply less safe by eliminating small farms andcentralizing production and processing more than it is already. Please Iam respectfully requesting that you vote against this bill.Sincerely, Green Green sent this message via Congress.org, which uses the Capwiz·XCsystem.

This burdensome regulation jeopardizes our food freedom and the rights of small farmers. Please see this blog post which has a link to send your Congressman a message. Do it now, later today or tomorrow will be too late.http://hartkeisonli ne.com/2009/ 07/28/food- safety-bill- may-reach- floor-vote- today-or- wednesday/WAPF Publicist

Hi All,

This morning I called my Congressman, Girffith, in DC. His secretary

said he has not said how he was going to vote. It was nice, but clearly

expressed that we as farmers strongly oppose this bill and that it would place

undue burdon on farmers and put many farmers out of business. The lady was very

nice.

Enjoy your dairy before the government makes it illegal or impossible.
