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): |
