					<description>Ann, they are aware.  One leader suggested I make a check out to him as a donation when I was talking nonais and wanting a workshop.  Never happen.  It is all about money.  Many leaders play both sides of issues like NAIS.   Leaders want mostly the money and leaders are put in place to do the bidding of those who grease their palm.   There are some real honest people but few and far between  but Cargill and Tyson and other big Corporations float so much money in this state of Oklahoma it is unreal and the only thing we can do is  follow Charlie Reese and undo what 545 people have caused.

					<description>These are links to their websites. 

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.operationspringplant.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Operation Spring Plant&lt;/a&gt;


&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.obhrpi.org&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Oklahoma Black Historical Research Project&lt;/a&gt;

Both organizations appear to be supporting sustainable agriculture, farmers markets, and other positive programs for small farmers. Accepting money for NAIS is so contradictory to their missions; perhaps they are not really aware of what NAIS means to small producers.

Their websites have contact information. I emailed them to suggest that they check out some of the No NAIS information available. Maybe some others here could contact them also.</description>

I got a free pencil at a microchip seminar.  It had &quot;Premuise ID - Take the First Step&quot; written on it.</description>
