NO NAIS March on Washington

Hello everyone,
I had no idea what response this thread would create when I started
it 24 hours ago! I have read all the responses only to discover that
many of you have the same limitations I have with being away from the
farm. However, many of you mentioned Small-farm Lobby Day on March
5th could result in a very good event against NAIS in Washington. So
please let me open this for discussion.

1. Farm Food Voices DC 2008
2nd Annual National Small-farm Lobby Day
and Legislative Reception
Wednesday March 5, 2008 Washington, DC
See http://www.vicfa.net for full details.

2. Everyone who cannot attend can have letters hand carried and
delivered by those of
us who can attend.

3. Members of ECAHS (Eastern Crabbet Arabian Horse Society) located
in Virginia will be attending the event. They are hopping mad about
NAIS and could help deliver letters.

4. Deliver a letter form Get a neighbor.

5. We may be able to get a good anti-NAIS spokesperson to attend and
address the issue.

It matters not whether we raise food or have an animal for pleasure
or a pet the issue is the loss of our civil rights and property
rights. My horses are not a part of the "National Herd"! The "Nation"
did not breed them, feed them, or clean up after them! (I rant too
much)

Time is short. If this sounds like an idea you are interested in then
leave me a personal note at nais-no-more@... and we can share
email addresses and get the group coordinated
