Missouri NIAA Protest Scheduled in KC
On August 23rd in Kansas City Missouri, the NIAA will be having USDA Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns giving the keynote address at their 2006 ID EXPO at the Crown Westin Plaza. Also on that day Dr. Mary Zanoni will be participating in a panel discussion representing those of us opposed to the NAIS.
There will be a peaceful protest against the NAIS going on outside of the meeting all day on the 23rd. We need people to show up and allow themselves to be viewed by those who would push this system upon us without our consent. Already there have millions if not billions of federal dollars (yours!) spent to bring this plan to fruition. The USDA claims that 86 million has been spent on it, but that only covers the amounts given to States to set up databases and begin accepting premises registrations. It fails to include at least 39 pilot projects and grants to businesses providing the technology and trials within such groups as 4H; nor does it cover the amounts paid to employees and representatives of the USDA in promulgating and developing the plan.
This is a wonderful opportunity to get your voice heard and to show those wishing to bring this about that you are willing to stand strongly against it. Please contact Doreen via email to confirm your attendance and willingness to participate in this event. We don’t have much time.
