I have just made calls to the list and it really only takes about 15
minutes. What happens in CA affects the rest of the country and I am
delighted to say several of these reps have said they are getting
calls from all over the US.

SB 201, THE FRESH RAW MILK ACT OF 2008

Dear Members,

As a follow-up to our Action Alert of last week, please keep making
phone calls and emails to the California Assembly Health Committee
Members. Monday June 23 is the day to make those calls - the committee
meets and votes on Tuesday June 24. Just SEVENTEEN QUICK PHONE CALLS
FOR RAW MILK could make all the difference for raw milk throughout the
country. Phone numbers are listed below.

We have also grouped all the emails together so that you can contact
every member with just one email.

Your message is simple: "Please vote for SB 201 on June 24 so that
citizens of California can have access to clean, safe raw milk. Then
say in one or two sentences how raw milk has helped you."

Be sure to watch the excellent nine-minute video on SB 201 on UTube:

Here's a wonderful letter from a raw milk supporter: "I've been
helping our farmers in Missouri by writing letters and making phone
calls about raw milk and just wanted to let you know that I just made
my 17 phone calls to the assembly members. Many said they were getting
LOTS of calls. Only one requested my name (although I offered it to
about the first 5-6). Most asked what city, but if they didn't, I let
them know that I was calling from Kansas City, Missouri and that
people from all over the country were behind you guys in support of
our right to consume raw milk. Many said they knew that and they were
getting a lot of calls supporting the bill from other parts of the
country. Many were sort of in disbelief that I was calling from so far
away. One even volunteered that he was a big supporter of the raw milk
bill (Huff) saying that he grew up drinking raw milk. Thanks for
fighting this battle on the behalf of raw milk advocates all over the
country. You're setting the precedent that will make it easier for all
of us!

SEVENTEEN PHONE CALLS
Take 15 minutes now to help save CA raw milk forever! Phone calls are
given "points" which are used by committee members to form opinions.
IT'S EASY - JUST DIAL. A FRIENDLY AIDE WILL ANSWER.

1) Say your Name and City
2) Request that Assembly Member [Last Name] SUPPORT SB 201 at the
Health Committee Hearing, June 24.

Please pick up the phone and call these 17 Assembly Health Committee
Members on Monday!
