For those in Arkansas who want to know, the Freedom to Farm Act HB1046 (which 
gives you the right to participate or NOT participate in the NAIS or other 
animal id programs like it, and it defines the word "voluntary") was just 
passed out of the House Ag Committee yesterday. This is the first step toward 
making it law after 3 long years of working toward this. The full House may be 
voting on it as early as next Tuesday. Now is the time to contact your state 
legislators and tell them to vote for this bill. Rep. Roy Ragland is the 
sponsor in the House and Sen. Ruth Whitaker is the senate sponsor. Both are 
members of the Arkansas Animal Producer's Assoc. which is a state wide 
organization formed to stop mandatory NAIS in Arkansas. For a copy of the bill, 
email me privately. This could be in the Senate Ag committee very quickly next 
week. Nebraska, Missouri, Kentucky and Arizona have already passed laws to 
limit the NAIS, etc. Other states are working on
legislation. 

If you want to be part of the NAIS, fine. It's a free country (at least for 
now). But if I don't want to participate, I do not want to be required, coerced 
(like they are already doing) or forced into it. That's MY right as a free 
private property owning citizen as well. 

Thank you.

too)
