					<description>Honorable Rep. Peterson,
Dear Sir,

the people. Thank you for your consideration on this most important issue.

					<description>Get a pair of vice grips for signing up your premises.

Howdo all:)

Listening to Derry 8 Dec I learned that there is provision to give gifts(up to $12 in value) with the Cooperative Agreement moneys.

I would urge all to download the 8ths mp3.  It was very informative(regarding the two recent USDA NAIS releases), and Russell Wood called in and stayed till the end.  Granted Mr Wood is talking about his meetings with Missouri Ag Dept officials, but I am certain you will find it instructive as related to your state.

derrybrownfield.com

Mr Brownfield regularly covers NAIS and he is completely against it, both voluntary and mandatory.

Mr Wood closed with the plea that people contact their state Ag Dept, urging them to refuse USDA cooperative funds.

					<description>Check out Iowa Farmer Today for many articles regarding NAIS, including a December 7 interview with Johanns, &quot;Animal ID Moving Forward&quot;.  In the search box, I used &quot;animal identification&quot;, plus there is a NAIS article on the homepage right now.

					<description>doreen,the reasons it will be harder to fight 52 fights is: divide and conquer,the states can not and will not say no to the money.the feds will put pressure,lots of pressure on each state to take the ball and run with it,and the money will keep comming. mean while back at the fed,the big meatpackers,chip makers,tag companies,ect, ect, will put hudge pressures on the usda to get the program in place,reason being these companies have put millions of dollars into this program and they will lose millions more if this program fails. money is what it is about</description>

					<description>Kerby, 
It probably just went to press with the latest news at that time that is now outdated - not that I believe anything from the USDA anyway. 
That is the problem with manipulators. You are always wondering what the real truth and ultimate agenda is.</description>

					<description>Its been a year since I found out that NAIS was not just a bad  joke going around but that it  was in fact a real threat. In that time I have seen it go from &quot;absolutly will happen&quot;, no exceptions, to &quot;maybe voluntary&quot; to state implimented back to fed voluntary and back again, its no wonder folks lose track of what the scoop of the week is. Every other week there is a new idea on the table which will be changed in another week or two. I believe the purpose is to keep all the folks running in circles chasing their tails so to speak and keeping them slightly off balance. I believe we must be careful not to give them too much power over us by &quot;reacting&quot; and trying to figure out what they are &quot;really&quot; saying every time they say something as the bottom line is still, they want this program and we are saying &quot;No way&quot; we must not ever let them think we will barter with them over this thing as there is just no way to give up liberty for a little bit of so called security and not have the big dog come back for more when he gets hungry again, no, we kick him in the teeth and then in the tail when he turns around and we make him know theres more where that came from if he comes back. As Texas Goat Gal alluded to earlier, we are making a difference, any of you who have been involved in this from the begining can remember how futile it seemed, every one you talked to looked at you like you sprouted horns and flew through the air when you told them about NAIS or any of the state plans that were out there, (some still do),but more and more folks are finding out about this thing and USDA/AGRIBIZ is having fits over the resistance they are encountering. A few weeks ago I talked face to face with PA Ag Sec Wolfe and that was one of his comments (as I posted here several weeks ago) and that was that he was taken aback by the amount of resistance he was seeing come out against this whole thing. A year ago it seemed we were doomed to have to endure this NAIS now some things have changed and it is not so cut and dried of an answer. We will not likely beat this thing by next Thursday at 3pm, it has been in the works for nearly 20 years by our &quot;friends&quot; at the National Institute for Animal Agriculture and the Farm Bureau( some local ones are now coming out against NAIS) as well as many animal vet groups, international regulatory groups and many of our favorite animal species groups that we have joined and supported with our dues and memberships.These groups have a lot of time and cash tied up in this program, not to mention their dreams of power over agriculture that they have nursed for years they are not going to roll over and die just because we are fighting them, both sides have a lot to lose, but we have more to lose, so not fighting is not an option, we must continue,we have right on our side, that is natural rights and those enumerated in our Constitution and Bill of Rights,I read recently where a judge threw out some more of that UN- Patriot act that helped give them a means to impliment this whole mess to begin with lets hope the whole freaking thing is thrown out as well as a lot more unpatriotic politicians and others who have taken it upon themselves to try to &quot;rule&quot; the American people rather than serve them. I have to believe we will cause
 them to have to try to compromise with us rather then us doing so with them, but one must look at the whole picture and not just at todays headline to see that.I know that I tend to be like a cheerleader sometimes but I don't want folks to get weary and give up and God knows there have been times I wondered if any of this was all worth it(IT IS),I am not a public type person and I do not like to have to talk to politicians and others and feel like I am standing there with my hat in my hand asking them to please have mercy on us and defend the Constitution from all its enemies foreign and DOMESTIC which may include them, I'm just not made that way I prefer to tell them how its going to be and to plant a boot up their rear if they don't comply, but unfortunatly we live in a time where we must work with our enemies to reach a concensous and to try to see to it that everybody wins and no one goes away with their feelys hurt(DRIPPING SARCASIM),and while I understand that, I also know that each of us must draw a line that we will not cross or allow them to cross and then stand firm,it may hurt and it may cost us somthing, but what else is there but to live as a slave and accept the crumbs from our masters table and that is somthing I refuse to consider, sorry no compromise!In the last year we have all come together here and been able to help each other and teach each other, think of all the people and groups that are fighting this thing who have come out in the last year, we have this site,thank to Walter and his family, and all related groups, we have Mary Z. and all she is doing, we have the Grannie Warriors and many others who are coming together from all over the country, all doing what we can in our own areas but interlinking and forming a fabric that stretches acrossed this nation  and is making the USDA/AGRIBIZ/STATE AG people sit up and take notice. So as we go through this holiday season lets look around us and realize that we are not fighting this thing alone but with the support and prayers of many many folks most of whom will never meet but who share a love for life and liberty that has brought them together and will see them through to the final victory.Thanks!</description>

					<description>Has anyone seen Progressive Farmer Dec2006 / Jan2007, quick takes page 44? There it states that Mandatory Animal ID coming Jan 1, 2009.
This statement is quit contrary to the latest USDA published documents and the discussions here in the forum.
Do they know something that we do not? Or does this mean that we need to fight harder?
I wonder if this is just a trick article to get folks to register for the Premise ID number (PIN). Any thoughts?</description>
