(Note: I will get a copy of the letter uploaded today – Barb) 

Here is the letter: 03-12-09-vilsack-nais

Today, Senator McCaskill sent a letter to Secretary of Agriculture Vilsack opposing the implementation of NAIS (see attached letter).  The Missouri Rural Crisis Center commends the Senator’s action and urges other elected representatives who also oppose NAIS to join McCaskill in documented opposition to this unpopular and unnecessary program.    

Thousands of Missouri and US farmers and consumers have expressed their opposition to NAIS and Senator McCaskill has responded.  The timing of the Senator’s letter is especially critical, given that the USDA deadline for public comments on NAIS is next Monday.  

Please take this opportunity to make your own comments to USDA and also let Senator McCaskill know that you appreciate her willingness to take a stand for America’s family farmers who will be negatively impacted by NAIS and consumers who know that this is not a food safety issue. 

To provide your comment to USDA go to: LINK

You can phone Senator McCaskill at (202) 224-6154, or e-mail by going HERE. 

Thanks!
