STOP NAIS - Action Alert



Big government is at it again trying to strip the rights of small farmers throughout the country from surviving. If they have their way, farms will be a relic of the past in the near future.

NAIS, or the National Identification System will require tracking on every animal on the farm - from cows, horses, goats and sheep - to chickens and turkeys. Imagine the nightmare of tracking all this....and the extra cost of YOUR Tax dollars to maintain.

The U.S. House Agriculture Subcommittee on Livestock, Dairy and Poultry will hold a hearing on NAIS on March 11. Bills to put NAIS into law, HR875 and companion Senate S814, are being pushed through Congress, as well as an Appropriations Bill with funding for NAIS. This hearing is critical to blocking mandatory NAIS.

It is IMPERATIVE that everyone contact their local government officials and make your voice heard regarding NAIS. Don't think that because you don't own livestock that it won't affect YOU. It will - Please don't sleep on this one.

Please visit this web site NoNAIS.org. It will give you information on these antics and give you quick links to write our officials. Don't let them steal our rights to small farms in America.
