Since so many of us also raise livestock, thought this would be of interest.  I apologize if this is inappropriate for this listserve but it really has potential to hurt small farmers...nan at dancing goats farm, n.mississippi
 
The agriculture appropriations bill is expected to be voted on the House
floor this week. Congressman Ron Paul has introduced an amendment to block
funding for the National Animal Identification System.  The amendment will
probably be voted on late Wednesday afternoon or evening.

This is a great opportunity to stop NAIS.   If the funding is cut off, then
the USDA cannot continue to give grants to state agencies to promote and
implement the program!

Please call your Congressman today!  We do not have much time to rally
support for Ron Paul's amendment, so it is critical that everyone take
action without delay.

The Capitol Switchboard number (202) 225-3121.  If you don't know who to
call, go to
<http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/>http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/
and enter your zip code in the box on the left-hand side of the
screen.  Your official's contact information will be provided.

Ask him/her to vote for Ron Paul's Amendment to HR 5384 to block funding
for NAIS because (choose a couple of reasons you think most appropriate, or
use your own):
