SYMPOSIUM OVERVIEW

Wisconsin was carefully selected as the site of this year's symposium because of

the recent spate of actions taken against Wisconsin raw dairy producers and

their customers. Wisconsin, as the 2nd largest dairy state in the union, and the

state with the most small dairies, is a crucial state for all raw milk activists

and defenders to " dig in " against the erosion of their consumer rights.

Wisconsin Dept. of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) through

creative interpretation of law, and legislators through ill-advised legislation,

want to ensure that raw milk never passes consumers' lips - by harassing the

farmers that produce it - all in the name of " public and food safety " .

That's why this symposium, at this time, in this state is so important.

We'll begin by hearing the personal stories of Wisconsin producers, Wayne and

Kay Craig and raw milk consumer activist, s. Sally Fallon Morell

and Dr. Ted Beals will delve into the science of raw milk nutrients, microflora

and benefits. Then, we'll step back and see the role of raw milk from an

international perspective with speakers from Germany and Slovenia.

German biodynamic academic researcher Prof. Dr. Ton Baars will describe his

research exploring unique raw milk healing properties and Syliva Onusic, Ph.D.

will illustrate what enlightened leadership in other countries are embracing on

behalf of their citizen's health. We'll hear from the lawyer defending

Wisconsin farmers, Gamsky Rich, Esq., who will discuss the legal

distinction between the public good and the private right which will set the

stage for the grand finale.

Schmidt, in a rare public appearance (outside of the Canadian

courtrooms), will kick off the highlight of the symposium and introduce " Joining

in the Battle for Food Rights " panel discussion, moderated by the champion of

raw milk rights, revolutionary blogger Gumpert. Panelists include Sally

Fallon Morell, Pete Kennedy, Esq., Mark McAfee, Schmidt, Tim Wightman,

Ted Beals, M.D. and Gamsky Rich, Esq.

Those that attend the FundRAISER reception and dinner following the symposium

will be treated to a delicious four course meal featuring local, organic and

grass-based food, and Mark McAfee at his finest, presenting a not-to-miss

keynote " Raw Milk as Medicine.... Proudly Violating FDA Drug Laws'.

This is THE symposium and FundRAISER to attend this year. Your attendance is

IMPORTANT and NECESSARY. Don't think you can stay at home on Saturday, April

10th. You are needed
