FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!
Help Legalize Raw Milk and Stop NAIS

The private website, www.Change.org, will present the "Top 10 Ideas for America"
to the Obama Administration on Inauguration Day. Legalizing raw milk and
stopping NAIS (National Animal Identification System) have both made it to the
second round of voting!! (Legalizing raw milk was number one in its category
and stopping NAIS was number three.) Thank you to everyone who voted in the
first round of the competition.

These two issues will now compete against 86 other ideas to see if they can make
it into the Top 10. The second round of voting will run until January 15. All
the voting totals have been re-set to zero, SO EVEN IF YOU VOTED FOR IT IN THE
FIRST ROUND, YOU SHOULD VOTE AGAIN.


TAKE ACTION
STEP 1: If you are not already signed up for the site, register at:
https://www.change.org/admin/sign_up. Sign-up is a very simple procedure.

STEP 2: Go to http://www.change.org/ideas/view/legalize_milk to vote for raw
milk. Be sure to click the box labeled "vote!" to the left of "Legalize Milk."
Simply leaving a comment does not count as a vote.

STEP 3: Go to http://www.change.org/ideas/view/stop_nais to vote to stop NAIS.
Be sure to click the box labeled "vote!" to the left of "Protect Our Food Supply
-- Stop NAIS!" Simply leaving a comment does not count as a vote.

STEP 4: Email all your friends and internet groups, and ask them to vote also.
Make sure everyone in your family casts a vote.

STEP 5 (optional): The most important thing is the number of VOTES that the
idea receives. If you want to leave a comment after you have voted, think in
terms of what will encourage other people to vote to legalize raw milk and stop
NAIS. Keep your comment short and clear, and don't repeat what others have
already written.



MORE INFORMATION
In the first round of voting, almost 300,000 votes were cast. So this is a
great opportunity for us to get these issues in front of a broad audience during
the voting process! And if either issue makes it to the Top 10, it will be
among the ten ideas presented at an event at the National Press Club on January
16, followed by a press release. The organizers of Change.org have committed to
supporting advocacy campaigns for each of the Top 10 ideas, including
encouraging their 200,000 members to support the effort.

This is a very quick, easy way to help us raise awareness about raw milk and
NAIS and potentially get significant new resources for this fight! Please go to
http://www.change.org/ideas/view/stop_nais and
http://www.change.org/ideas/view/legalize_milk to vote now!
