“Knepley said if the national program folds, it will not impact Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania has been working with their premise identification program, PA HERDS, a statewide database to consolidate farm identification numbers for all of their animal health programs.”

Could not find a date anywhere, but the copyright was 2006. I am sure you know all about this, but may not have seen this exact article. I e-mailed Mr. Hershey this weekend (kept it very nice). Sounds like you have a lot of thoughtful and intelligent no-NAISers in PA. Good luck.

This could be a breakthrough, because many of us have been concerned that other states (such as Vermont) are opposed to mandatory premise id only because of data security.

These words by Representative Hershey indicate that the PA House Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee have at least one other reason for questioning a mandatory state premise id program BEFORE it is mandated by the USDA.

The people of Vermont have taken the lead in opposing mandatory premise id in their state. However, their AG Secretary seems to oppose mandatory premise id for only one reason, namely data security. Perhaps someone should make Secretary Kerr aware that “there may be at least one other valid reason for opposing mandatory premise id; namely the USDA timetable of 2009 (earliest)…and why would ANY state want to implement mandatory premise id BEFORE it is required by the feds.

Hello Texas Goat Gal:)

I too believe Ron Paul is one of the good guys. And if we had another 250 in the House and say 60 or so in the Senate like him, we American’s wouldn’t be having all these troubles we are with the sorts of Int’l entanglements that Washington and Jefferson warned us off of.

A big part of the problem is SPP is being done on the sly, not unlike NAIS, just more so and better. Frankly I wonder if NAIS and the like ‘we’re gonna hold yer nose til ya swalla’ schemes, are not smoke screens of sorts for streamlining the implementation of SPP.

Finally, I believe rep Paul’s article would be more alarming if Americans were more familiar with their ‘rules of law’ and too, if this topic was getting even a modicum of the press play in deserves. If those conditions were improved, or as they should be(there is far greater illiteracy/ignorance today -about our ways- than twenty, or more especially 50 years ago); I believe folks would be immediately enraged upon reading, “… the SPP is neither a treaty nor a formal agreement”, or, “… Congressional oversight of what might be one of the most significant developments in recent history is non-existent”.

In context: “… According to the US government website dedicated to the project, the SPP is neither a treaty nor a formal agreement. Rather, it is a “dialogue” launched by the heads of state of Canada, Mexico, and the United States at a summit in Waco, Texas in March, 2005.

What is a “dialogue”? We don’t know. What we do know, however, is that Congressional oversight of what might be one of the most significant developments in recent history is non-existent. Congress has had no role at all in a “dialogue” that many see as a plan for a North American union.

According to the SPP website, this “dialogue” will create new supra-national organizations to “coordinate” border security, health policy, economic and trade policy, and energy policy between the governments of Mexico, Canada, and the United States. As such, it is but an extension of NAFTA- and CAFTA-like agreements that have far less to do with the free movement of goods and services than they do with government coordination and management of international trade. …”.

Which in reality is what NAIS is about, though merely a piece in the SPP puzzle.

I urge you all to read this concise overview of SPP.

Hello Texas Goat Gal:)

I honestly believe Rep Paul is one of the good guys and if we had more like him, say 250 more in the house and 60 or so in the Senate, our country would be in a much better way and we wouldn’t be having all of these international entanglement troubles we are facing.

The article is accurate, if not intentionally alarming. However, if we weren’t such an ill-educated nation about our own rule of law(I am no exception), America would be much more widely alarmed by, “…the SPP is neither a treaty nor a formal agreement.”. In context, “According to the US government website dedicated to the project, the SPP is neither a treaty nor a formal agreement. Rather, it is a “dialogue” launched by the heads of state of Canada, Mexico, and the United States at a summit in Waco, Texas in March, 2005.

What is a “dialogue”? We don’t know. What we do know, however, is that Congressional oversight of what might be one of the most significant developments in recent history is non-existent. Congress has had no role at all in a “dialogue” that many see as a plan for a North American union.”

According to the SPP website, this “dialogue” will create new supra-national organizations to “coordinate” border security*, health policy, economic and trade policy, and energy policy between the governments of Mexico, Canada, and the United States.”.

* Border Security here refers to the outer borders of the three nations not the traditional borders through which we are now being invaded. Which invasion will be a mute point when the SPP comes to fruition.

I encourage all to read US Rep Ron Paul’s concise article:

Electronic jamming perhaps.

Underground facilities could probably still be detected thermally.

Face it, the government has a bigger wallet and better toys.

Because I do not trust ANY politician, I have been cautiously optomistic about Ron Paul and his true intent. I know he has written some dynamite articles alerting Americans to many unconstitutional issues, but I still remain on guard. On 8-2-06, I sent him this e-mail:

“I have been a fan of Congressman Paul for several years, and tell everyone I speak with to check out this website every week. However, I am amazed/concerned that there has been no mention from Congressman Paul on the CFR’s “Building a North American Community”, the North American Union, or the government’s Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America website. I check this website every week, at least once, and have been looking since last summer, when I first heard about the CFR report, for something on this website. I have searched the archives, also. If I have missed it, I apologize for the scrutiny, but I don’t think I have missed anything on this website. Congressman Tancredo does have a mention of this on his website. I am involved in attempts to stop the National Animal Identification System (NAIS), and I appreciate Congressman Paul’s efforts there. I hope to see something on the North American Union soon. Thank you.”

Checking his website, Ron Paul now has a Texas Straight Talk article, “A North American United Nations?”, dated 8-28-06. I was not impressed. I think this article falls flat when it comes to sounding an alarm, so I sent him another e-mail on 8-29-06:

“I must be frank and say that even though your long-awaited column “A North American United Nations?” is welcome, I feel that it did not relay the urgency to stop this abomination, nor the seriousness of the final blow to our Constitutional Republic that this will cause - like a boot stomping on the United States, forever!”

If he’s for real, than I’m the fool, but I think he could have attacked this issue with more teeth. Dirty Nails, if you read his article, could you tell us what you think. I’m not trying to tear him down, but we need to scrutinize everyone that has the power to affect our destiny.

Hi Y’all:/

We have a bigger problem than NAIS.
You can read about it a Security and Prosperity Partnership Of North America
Please do so.
See if you believe the FAQ’s

If this comes into being in 2010 as planned, NAIS and all the other garbage Americans are being force fed can be put into place at gun point, utilizing Canadian but more likely, Mexican military personel. Possibly even UN Peacekeepers as the Constitution and Bill of Rights -when it suits the powers- will surely be set aside in favor of Int’l Law.

It not only can happen here, it is. The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, the North American Union, is steaming ahead, without discussion or opposition.

This is more critical than NAIS, precisely because the paperwork here spells out the end of American sovereignty.

I cannot stress enough, see for yourself. This goes for Canadians too.

ps I mention this here because this is the only grassroots movement that seems to have any traction nationally. Sorry, but it must be told …
