This goes way beyond raw milk sales and raw milk consumption, but it directly involes something that I choose to do for me and my family. It's so frightening, the path that these ideological oligarchs are treading on. The fact that we cant buy a seed thats not GM, the fact that congress pushes through Citizens United, Glass Steagal, and other peices of legislation that strips our freedoms and rights is so infuriating. If you need bodies or voices we are ready to step in. Whatever way we can help, we will. In the meantime I hope all the other raw milk farmers will show a united presence. I hope they regret the decision to invole you on their committee. You have a great ability to reach out and rile us up. Its taken a long time for me to get to this point, but I think I'm ready to join the fight. I was so happy to find SPR and you and Keith. I shouldnt be surprised to realize that they are pissing on something that I value personally. Give em bigtime hell, and I mean it. We need more brave people like you to speak for us. I know you will keep us posted. Thanks as always for your time and hard work. Not only in the milkhouse but on the computer and at those meetings, fighting for what matters...Shannon G.

The raw milk steering committee will vote on the proposed rules (I have no idea how effective this will be since the committee is heavily weighted with anti-raw milk people, thus I am recruiting more raw milk farmers to serve on this committee) THEN the proposed rules will be presented to the Illinois Food Safety Advisory Committee, then it will go to the states legal team. From there to the rules committee at the State Board of Health then to just the State Board of Health. Finally there will be two 45 day comment periods.

I sure hope so. And although I understand your reasoning for keeping the proposals under caps, knowing what insane thoughts go through political hacks minds is good to know. I would hope that the meetings are open to the public. But if they aren't that wouldn't surprise me in the least. <br /><br />Go forth, dear advocate of Milk (and food) Freedom, and give them HELL!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436557172029575513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-12476593260087253652013-03-04T16:28:56.684-06:002013-03-04T16:28:56.684-06:00Donna,
