GOVERNMENT "SNEAK ATTACK"
ON CALIFORNIA RAW MILK


Dear Chapter Leaders and Members,

With raw milk politics facing tough battles and having some wonderful
successes
across the United States, raw milk has just been dealt a serious blow
and has
been made illegal
in California as of January 1st 2008.

We need you to act today.

I have included a letter from Mark McAfee below. We need you to write to
California legislators, write letters to the editor of your local
paper if you
are in California, post about this issue on your blog, and contact
everyone in
your chapter and in your friendship network to mobilize them in this
fight.

DEAR RAW MILK FRIENDS,

There comes a time in life when conscious people must fight...
....this is one
of those rare times!!

The Governor of California just signed into law AB1735 which changes
raw milk
standards to include "less than 10 coliforms per ml of raw milk". This
will
eliminate a consistent supply of raw milk in California, because high
quality
raw milk always has some Coliforms. In fact Coliforms are essential to the
safety of raw milk. They are responsible for making Colicins which protect
against and kill off harmful pathogenic forms of bacteria including Ecoli
0157H7. Never before has raw milk in California ever been tested for
Coliforms,
because they are good bacteria and are not pathogenic.

All raw milk pathogens are tested separately to assure safety.

Sadly, the reality is that the Governor probably did not even know
what he was
signing because it was slipped into the regulation without discussion
or debate.
When he finds out what he signed he will ask for a "CDFA head on a
silver plate"
I am sure. That's right. There were no open discussion or hearings on this
change. No raw milk consumer or raw milk producer was advised or
invited to
attend the secreted meetings. The staff at the State Ag Committee now
says that
AB1735 was not supposed to be an area of conflict. It was just law to
align
California Raw Milk laws with Federal Raw Milk laws.

To any raw milk producer or consumer this is WAR!!
The CDFA and FDA hate raw milk!!!

Only the government and pasteurized GOT DEAD MILK policy makers were
involved in
AB 1735 and of coarse there was no discussion. This was a "strategic sneak
attack"... to get rid of the looming raw milk threat to the GOT DEAD MILK
industry.

We now ask that you all please shower the Governor with emails and
letters. Do
not blame him but ask him to correct a horrible mistake immediately.
We ask that
you call your state assemblyman. We ask that you write your local
newspaper. We
ask that you blog. We ask that super moms and dads morph into raw milk
ninja
fighters and protect your families. The internet and your voices are your
greatest tools. But they must be heard. Tell everyone about how raw
milk has
changed your life.

Demand that the "eight new words introduced by AB 1735" that
effectively kill
California Raw Milk be immediately removed!

There is more to this story, in September of 2006, during the height
of the huge
Ecoli 0157H7 spinach outbreak that sickened 197 and killed 3, CDFA
mandated a
recall of organic raw milk in California. After seven days of press
drama, raw
milk famine, fanfare, thousands of tests (including fresh manure from
all cows
and all milk products) and extensive research, neither the FDA, CDFA
or DHS
could link any illness to raw milk. The kids supposedly sickened did
not even
have matching pathogen tests linking them as a group! There were only
two sick
kids and they did not share the same pathogens. There were never four
sick kids
as advertised. Suffice it to say there was great government
embarrassment and
liability after the true facts were collected and exposed.

In the end, the government official statement said that "there was no
connection
between raw milk and any illnesses" (Fresno Bee front page CDFA statement
reference).

CDFA then settled with OPDC for a large cash settlement payment and a
mutual
release of liability in exchange for not being sued for the "false
recall". OPDC
signed this settlement several months ago.

AB1735 is "CDFA Payback" for this settlement embarrassment and the "false
recall". This sneak attack was because CDFA knows full well that they
do not
have the political support or the science to address raw milk consumers or
producers to their faces.

We need your help to save raw milk in California. The entire raw milk
movement
is being attacked when raw milk is attacked in California or any
place. You the
consumer is being attacked and being denied your right to chose living
whole
foods.

It is time to fight for your health and your lives, because that is
exactly what
is on the line. Sterilized and preserved food brings on immune depression,
allergies and illness. Antibiotics then make it all that much worse.
80 percent
of the human immune system is made up of bacteria in our gut. When
they die we
die!! We need good bacteria badly. The crisis in MRSA and VRE
infections are
directly associated with weak immune systems and antibiotic abuse.
Most all
chronic diseases and immune depression are healed by whole bio-diverse and
enzyme rich foods....raw milk. Raw milk is at least 800 times more
biologically
diverse than even good yogurt.

to do and
who to call. Addresses, contact information and legislative

High on our priority is our Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, the
Secretary of
Agriculture A.G Kawamura, and all the state legislators.

This a raw milk health revolution....do not let it be our generation
that lost
this fight. We owe it too ourselves and our children to win this and
place these
GOT DEAD MILK protectors on notice that this is a democracy and due
process and
representation still matters. Sneak Attacks will not be tolerated by
the raw
milk consumers or producers of California or our nation.

You are requested to attend a rally and press conference at 1130 at
the Fresno
Farmers Market at Shaw and Blackstone avenues on Saturday October
27th. I will
be speaking to the press and they need to hear your voices loud and
clear. We
expect a huge turn out and we need everybody that can come. Raw milk
will be on
sale for all that come. Movie stars are invited...Arnold needs to hear
from you.

Try your best to attend the rally wear a shirt that supports raw milk
and your
right to eat whole living foods!

Stand now and be counted!!! See you in Fresno at the Farmers Market on
Saturday.

Only living milk brings life!!
