What: Call Governor Jim Doyle and tell him to veto the Senate bill, SB 434, the raw milk bill, effectively killing the unfair raw milk bill.
Call 608-266-1212 today! We think that he will be finalizing his decision and taking action on this bill by the middle of this week.
When: A.S.A.P.! He is expected to take action on this bill by the middle of this week.
Dear WICFA Friends and Members,
We have a great opportunity to stop the raw milk bill that is unfair to small producers and would prevent fair competition in the marketplace. Please call Governor Jim Doyle to let him know that he should veto the Senate version, SB 434, of the raw milk bill. More

- Please keep calling everyday until April 22, 2010 when the end of the session.
- And Say NO to processed junk food protocols (AB440 & SB115) from the American Dietetic Association.
- We don’t want junk food information to be the law of the land in Wisconsin.
- These bills are not dead and WI lawmakers are under pressure from the Wisconsin Dietetics Association and multi national billion $$ junk food and pharmaceutical corporations companies to pass this legislation. Your call as a constituents counts more than lobbyist.
- Legislators need YOU to be re-elected.
- See who is supporting this legislation: and enter Senate 115 and Assembly 440

LADIES & GENTLEMEN
If you are attending the Raw Milk Hearing that is scheduled for March 10, 2010, in Eau Claire, WI please give us a call or send an email so that we can make sure that we will not all be speaking about the same things. Our website has been updated with information about where the hearing is being held and at what time. Additionally, we started a new discussion on the Facebook page that is centered on the above piece by our Vice President, Paul M. Griepentrog.
Additionally, I am sorry about this coming out so late but I have been extremely busy and figured that you already knew about the hearing in Eau Claire as well as the fact that the one for the 16th in Madison was canceled because of the shear volume of emails I have been receiving about these very things. WICFA’s voice is being heard as we have been obtaining space in both the opinion sections of agricultural newspapers as well as being included in some articles in the same papers. We might be small right now but we are having an impact. Keep paying attention to what is going on and keep us up to date.
Thanks for all that you do,
Clifford J. Cordell II

WICFA: The promotion and preservation of unregulated direct farmer-to-consumer trade

Hello WICFA Friends and Members:We have some updates on our website that might be of interest to you. Please browse through our Raw Milk page and our Honey page to see what is new.
Read the Iowa raw milk bill and see why it is the kind of legislation that we need to put before our Assembly and Senate. It is fair to all producers and consumers and is completely aligned with WICFA’s mission statement of the promotion and preservation of unregulated direct farmer-to-consumer trade that fosters the availability of locally grown and home-produced food products.
The updates on Wisconsin honey legislation include some correspondence between Senator Russ Decker and our VP, Paul M. Griepentrog as well as a link to some good information on the origins of Codex.
Enjoy and I hope you find the updates useful!
Thanks,
Clifford J. Cordell II

Hello WICFA Friends and Members,
We have completed the revision of our statement of opposition to the “Raw Milk Bill”, SB 434 and AB 628. Please read it through and give careful consideration to the points that are raised. You can find a link to the bills on our raw milk page to read them for yourself. The opposition statement is attached to this email and is available on the website as well.
If you agree that we should not take whatever can be achieved instead of standing firm and holding out for a bill that is beneficial to all raw milk producers, no matter what the size of their operation, then print off some copies of our opposition statement and distribute them to friends, family, and your neighbors.
We must let our representatives in Madison hear from us as well. Please contact your assembly person and senator to let them know that they should not vote in favor of the “Raw Milk Bill”. We need to make sure that our voices are heard.
Do not let our food choices be regulated by DATCP and corporate interest.
“If the people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny” Thomas Jefferson
Sincerely,
Clifford J. Cordell II

Wisconsin Alliance on Facebook: Support Wisconsin family and independent dairy farmers!

FARMING & FOOD, Fresh/Raw Milk dairy farming, Facebook, Whole Foods USA, WICFA, Wisconsin 2 Comments
WHOLE FOOD USA has established a Facebook group to unify the support for Wisconsin Dairy Farmers as the state Agriculture Department has begun systematically closing their businesses down and prosecuting those who refuse to comply with provisions of Codex Alimentarius codified into state code and statute by the agency. This is an unelected bureacracy which granted itself the power to conduct search and seizure of private property without warrant or cause and no oversight.
In support of this effort:
