This congressman wants to hear my concerns re: the need for NAIS in order to help our global beef trade position. I have noted the quotes that you have already posted for me to use during this meeting. I was going to present an argument that "Nais was a back-door subsidy for the large beef producers". Whatever federal money they have thrown at them when NAIS becomes the law of the land, money that will naturally flow from the coffers to cover the cost of mandatory participation, will be augmented by the destruction of the domestic competition that will occur after NAIS is implemented. It's a win-win for the large producers. They will get subsidized without asking for a subsidy, and they will eliminate most of their domestic market competition. Now...in light of this article, I need to make reference to this latest development re: Mickey D's and Walmart. My question is...are there any links that would tie Mickey D's and Walmart into the supposedly public comment hearings that occurred in 2004? Can we tie these two corporations to the back room writing of the NAIS regulations? We already know that big beef was instrumental in writing the regs so as to favor them highly over the small producer. But...if we can get proof that Mickey D's and Walmart were parties to the writing of the regulations...then I will have even more ammo for my meeting with the congressman. Your thoughts?

Canidate, etc), their email address and a link to a web page showing their position. The last could be something on their own web site (idea), or a news story, etc. If you don't have that but have an email from them, send that with full headers. Ask candidates and legislators to put a position statement onto their web pages to show that they are for or against NAIS so constituants know. Also ask them to link to <a href="http://NoNAIS.org/" rel="nofollow">http://NoNAIS.org</a> to show their opposition to NAIS. Cheers, -Walter If you know have someone you think should be added to the Nice/Naughty lists just email me a note, or leave a comment, with:
