I just got this email
I suggest everyone who can-call NOW
TODAY
The agriculture appropriations bill is expected to be voted on the US House floor this week. Congressman Ron Paul has introduced an amendment to block funding for the National Animal Identification System. The amendment will probably be voted on late Wednesday afternoon or evening.
If you need information about NAIS, go to www.libertyark.net.
This is a great opportunity to stop NAIS.
Please call your Representative in the US House today! We do not have much time to rally
support for Ron Paul's amendment, so it is critical that everyone take
action without delay.
The Capitol Switchboard number (202) 225-3121. If you don'’t know who
to call, go to http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/ and enter
your zip code in the box on the left-hand side of the screen. Your
official's contact information will be provided. Or, go to
http://www.libertyark.net/tools.shtml and insert your zip code to find your representative.
Time is precious - please make the phone call; emails and letters won't have the same effect.
Follow up with an email afterwards.
Ask him/her to vote for Ron Paul’'s Amendment to HR 5384 to block
funding for NAIS because (choose a couple of reasons you think most
appropriate, or use your own):
1. NAIS will be too costly and burdensome for farmers and ranchers.
2. NAIS invades the privacy of every American who owns even one
livestock animal, whether a horse, pet pot-bellied pig, chicken, cow,
goat, sheep, etc.
3. NAIS will not protect us against disease or bioterrorism because
(a) it does not address the causes of disease; (b) it does not address
how diseases are transmitted; (c) we already have sufficient means of
tracking diseases and controlling outbreaks; and (d) the recommended
technology (ISO radio tags) can be easily reprogrammed, so that it is
ineffective against intentional introductions of disease.
4. NAIS will greatly expand the government bureaucracy, at the cost of
individuals’ rights and the free market.
5. NAIS will raise the cost of food, while not providing any
additional food safety.
6. NAIS has been developed by the USDA without Congressional hearings
or debate, and without any real involvement of the tens of thousands
of individuals who will be affected.

livestock ID vote
thank you crestedchik! dong this now!!!
I just saw this.
Do you have any news on how the voting went?
Yes, it passed. Will go into effect in 2008. Also, the National Identity Cards will go into effect in 2008. The ACLU and several other privacy groups are fighting this one.
You won't be able to get on an airplane, buy a house, get credit, or walk down the street if they do not stop this one.
VERY scary!
Can we say "666"?!?
There has to be an underlying agenda for this. Anyone know what it is? I'm not very educated on this subject but it's curdling my blood.
Oh yes, like the evil empire Monsanto its to control the worlds food supply.
When you can do that then you can control the masses.
Big Brother is watching you.
Yup.
