Darol Dickenson did 27 points, not 22.(my previous post). Also, at the comments that USDA is getting, up to 260 pages now..look at p.258 for Dr. Eldridges’…state vet of Washington State..kinda interesting…”we recommend that USDA rescind and delay enactment…..”

R-calf wants us to fax to the Honorable David Scott, Chairman of the Ag. subcommittee our comments on Nais and the slanted hearing. The fax number is: 202-225-4544 We only have by March 20th.They have a sample letter at the front of their website… r-calfusa.com and look at Darol Dickinsons comments at naissucks.com that he sent…22 points he gets straight!! (one person who calls a spade a spade!)

Up now at R-calfusa.com are Dr. Thornsberry’s oral (6 pages) and written (22 pages) testimony for the committee. They are excellent. That 22 page testimony covers it all….Thank you R-calf!

Go to: agriculture.house.gov/hearings/schedule.html (put http:// in front) and they have up: Panel I, Dr. Clifford Panel II, a rep. from the Pork producers, NCBA, Nat’l Milk and Amer. Vet Asnn (all pro nais and many recepients of CA $$$) and….R_CALF (Dr. Thornsberry) and Panel III, someone from Canada and one from Australia…wouldn’t it be nice if the one from Australia would say what the former Pres. of the Australian Beef Assn. said:”Nais couldn’t track a bleeding elephant through the snow” (from r-calfusa, animal ID, “fight nais down to the last cowboy”. Hope everyone will keep up with this. I was told Bill Bullard would be there, from R-calf….

what can we do when our congressmen do not listen?

I guarantee that if this were a gay issue, those people would be on their elected offal like…uh, they would be loud, vocal and demanding their more equal rights…
funny thing, the gays already have all the rights of any US citizen, they just want more because of their orientation, but that is another subject…the results are they have the govt running scared and doing what they want and they do not back off until they get what they want.
We need to have the same resolve because the bigger issue is the loss of our rights extends toward those that do not even own animals.
