Good article at The Nation. It covers Greg in Michigan and discusses how large corporations are using the government regulators to make sure small farmers can’t compete.
Hat tip to Katherine.

Interesting. I hadn’t realized there was such a price disparity between DIY and producers. Cheers to the magazine for publishing the article.

Interesting article. It goes well with an article in the Allentown, PA Morning Call today. There is a place at the end of the article for reader comments. link

Jail? We should strive to attain absolute right in property (ownership) over our selves and our property.
Will you allow unfettered inspection of you and your property? Will you comply with unrestrained testing of you and your animals? Will you permit invasive vaccination for whatever the ‘health authorities’ deem necessary? Will you ‘voluntarily’ submit, under the threat of UK model quarantine, to ‘emerging’ gov required IDENTIFICATION of you and your property?
To oppose means to face off the enforcement roster of ‘health authorities’ at every level.
We should resolve to be free, remembering always that freedom is never *free*, it comes with a price (as most of us know).

Interesting commentary DB.
I agree and would add Hail Haliburton, Cargill, Monsanto and G.E. too! GE owns a good part of the news networks, not to mention they make things that go boom. Not sure if they still “bring good things to life” though :)
Don’t know him but I’m very proud of Greg Niewendorp. It takes courage to do what he did…how will any of us respond when it’s our turn?
Make no mistake if we don’t elect the right people we WILL be next. I am grateful that Greg’s story is getting some press.
In this great website Walter has identified who is naughty and who is nice on the right side bar…look at it folks…I’ve spoken to Neil Kurk of New Hampshire in the past we need more legislators like him. I’m not a “one issue” person and many of us aren’t, but if a person is with us against NAIS it’s likely they will protect other freedoms too. I’ve been accused of ranting (guilty as charged) but I will be checking that list to help me make my decision any time I go to vote.
