(I'm looking at you, MN Rep. Oberstar.) Walter, you have succeeded in creating a massive bipartisan movement. A Republican (Ron Paul) moved to stop NAIS funding. Democrats (Oberstar, Feingold, Leahy) for whatever reason support a mandatory NAIS. Red state/blue state doesn't matter. It's all about red meat/white meat... What Tom said.

We should all mail copies to our President, USDA, Congressional, and local representatives to say "look, you guys are vastly outnumbered, and you're going to lose this fight." Congrats!

A drawing for a post? A NAIS Internet scavenger hunt? Maybe a who's who in NAIS and No NAIS? A photo or sketch contest for the kids (small and big) that Walter could add to one of his great stories? Flyer contest? Other ideas? This whole program is a bummer but we could have some fun (smile). *CELEBRATION* Okay y’all how should we celebrate crackling the 100,00 mark on the No NAIS site?

Because right now the whole world, with exception of 3 countries, have adopted their own version of NAIS. Google: Free Trade Agreements. The world has been regionalizied. We are merging into the North American Union with the SPP. There is the European Union, a Middle-East Union (signed June 21st), African Union, Chinese Union... on an on. And when are all these trade agreements fully in force? 2010. Ummm... is that why our representation is in such a hell-fire hurry to ram NAIS down our throats? Not one country is happy with their agricultural position. The Doha Round is turning into a fiasco. People around the world are *waking up* to this sham of a roapmap: your farmland for peace & security. PS-I just made a purchase with my MC for office supplies for our No NAIS booth at the fair. When processed it said MC-Euro Card. Ummmm.... PV-Why are people interested in our fight? Because right now the whole world, with exception of 3 countries, have adopted their own version of NAIS.

For example, there are: Visits -- Area ---- -- ----- 187,349 North America 735 Great Britain 445 Australia area 2354 Europe 198 South America 519 Africa 529 for Asia* ------- 192,000 worldwide visits since January 26th, 2006 Do note that there is some discrepancy between counters. ClustrMaps misses some. My web logs are more accurate and show a higher count. Still, it is fun to see and ClustrMaps.com does a nice job of displaying the data graphically. *Note: Asia is going to be limited because I have blocked many of the IP address blocks from China because so much spam comes from there. This is unfortunate. The spammers are making it so that the Chinese people are missing out on portions of the world wide web. It is not just the Chinese government censorship that is the problem. The spammers are such a bad problem that web master simply block out huge sections of Asia's users. I can't waste hours a day filtering out the spam so I end up blocking those IP ranges where the spam comes from. Sad but true. If the Chinese people want access to the world they need to stop the spammers. Spammers moved off shore because ISP's in other countries nailed them for their bad behavior after millions of users complained. Imagine if you are an ISP and you get 10,000 complaints about someone -what will you do? I would <b><i>love</i></b> to hear from international people about their thoughts on the goings on with NAIS, how the USA's NAIS would affect them and how their own country's version of NAIS is working or not working. <a href="mailto:walterj@sugarmtnfarm.com" rel="nofollow">Email me</a>.

It is also interesting to see that visitors are here from around the world. Excellent! They are victims of the same international agreements that are causing our own government to try to shove this crap down our throats. Let the people of the world stand together, those in every nation delivering a firm message to their governments that we will not have our national identities, freedoms and Constitutional rights abridged by agreements with the World Trade Organization, which is where the roots of NAIS are embedded.
