Guest guest Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 PLEASE, even if you don't live in California, or don't drink raw milk, PLEASE fax or call this man in support of overturning AB 1735..... This could mean a lot to the future of raw milk- not only here in CA, but other states, as well... CyndiSee AOL's top rated recipes and easy ways to stay in shape for winter. AB 1735 ACTION ALERT The Final Push NEXT STEP : Get Serious with the Secretary of Agriculture As a direct result of your actions last week, we now have the support of all key assembly representatives to overturn AB 1735. However, your assemblymen have expressed concern that we do not have the support of the California Secretary of Agriculture, Mr. A.G. Kawamura. He appears to be the last raw milk challenge standing. It is critical that we create an avalanche of political pressure like last week, only stronger in message (see below). Please focus all of your efforts on A.G. Kawamura. Contact the CA Secretary of Agriculture immediately! Please call him today and send out as many letters and faxes as possible. A.G. Kawamura Secretary of Food and Agriculture 1220 N St., Suite 400 Sacramento, Ca. 95814 Phone: (916) 654-0321 or (916) 654-0433 Fax: 916-654-0403 The message to him should be very strong, yet respectful. The talking points we suggest may sound harsh but they reflect the truth (see " Background " below). The Secretary needs to know what has happened on his watch: Certain corrupt staff members within CDFA have personal prejudice against raw milk. They have participated and conspired in an illegal, secret, and silent process to deny California consumers their access to raw milk. Demand that the Ag Secretary use his power to immediately suspend or reverse AB 1735 and the " less-than-10 coliform " standard for raw milk in California. Demand that the CDFA staff who misrepresented raw milk science and snuck the groundless coliform standard into AB 1735 be dismissed immediately. Background: We have discovered that certain staff members in CDFA actually committed crimes by " introducing negative language into a bill which would be applied to an industry which it regulates. " This is outrageous illegal activity; it defies written administrative policy and must not be tolerated within CDFA. The normal legal process requires CDFA to bring any legislative language to the attention of the governors office prior to contacting an assembly committee. CDFA misrepresented facts, claiming AB 1735 was so insignificant that it could be handled “as a consent item” and did not require discussion or debate. Other substantial and material misstatements of fact also occurred to keep AB 1735 secret and silent. This is the big event we have all been working towards. It may be the last effort needed to overcome AB 1735. Please call today and send your letters. A note from your friends at Organic Pastures Q.
