ALERT: Michigan Ag Gets Warrant to Test and Tag Greg Niewendorp's Cattle

~CIVIL ACTION~



PLEASE BROADCAST FAR AND WIDE --- ESPECIALLY TO FOLKS IN MICHIGAN

East Jordan, Michigan

On Tuesday, September 18, Sheriff George Lassiter informed Michigan cattle
farmer Greg Niewendorp that the Michigan Department of Agriculture (MDA) has
secured a warrant to go on Niewendorp's property to TB test his herd and
apply NAIS compliant radio frequency identification ear tags to the cattle.
Since February, when he submitted a letter to the MDA stating that he would
not participate in the MDA's dangerous experimental TB herd testing program,
Niewendorp has refused to let MDA on his property. On August 21, state
police and an MDA representative came illegally onto Niewendorp's property
attempting to coerce him into having his herd tested, and Niewendorp politely
escorted them off.



Sheriff Lassiter told Niewendorp and the MDA that, as the server of the
warrant, he will give Niewendorp 72-hour notice before serving him the
warrant. The 3 day notice will allow time to notify supporters to assemble
at Niewendorp's.



It is important that as many people as possible assemble at Niewendorp's farm
the day the MDA plans to trespass to test and tag the cattle. Niewendorp's
intent is that the cattle NOT be tested or tagged. Niewendorp wants as many
people as possible to come. Please be ready to assemble once the 72-hour
notice has been given. Niewendorp plans to "open the freezer" and have an
all-day cookout for everyone who joins with him in standing up for his
God-given divine rights and preventing the barbaric behavior of the MDA



The MDA will have an undisclosed number of police "to assist." In my
conversation with Bridget Patrick, coordinator of the TB herd eradication
program, she insisted the police were just coming "to assist." Though she
went through a number of verbal gyrations to try and eliminate any concerns I
might have, she was quite evasive in answering my pointed questions
concerning the nature of that "assistance." The bottom line is, the more
people who show up, the better off everyone will be. There IS safety in
numbers.



Please bring video recording equipment and cameras.

We will send updates (and directions) with any new information.

Greg Niewendorp is putting everything on the line for the freedom and rights
of all of us. Let us not fail him.
