The following action alert from Right To Choose Healthy Food concerns a campaign to fax legislators to amend the upcoming Farm Bill to allow commercial sales of raw milk. We are sending this to you on behalf of Aajonus Vonderplanitz, the president of Right To Choose Healthy Food.

Hi, fellow raw-milk drinkers and supporters,
We, Aajonus Vonderplanitz president, Jeff Slay executive director, and volunteers Lindsey Jacob, Valorie Micek and Nathan Donahoe with Right To Choose Healthy Food are lobbying in Washington, DC. We found a way to make raw milk legal nationally and stop FDA and CDC’s smear-campaign against raw milk. The Farm Bill is about to be approved and we need your help to get an amendment into the bill. We need you to fax Agricultural Committee members immediately.
The example letter below states what we want. You may change it as suits you, or simply copy and paste into your action letter and fill in the number of years you have consumed raw milk/raw-milk products. There are 63 Committee members listed below that need to be faxed; priority faxing starts at the top of the list.
PLEASE let Aajonus know via email ( optimal (at) earthlink.net ) who you faxed so that we do not have to rely upon the legislators’ counts of faxes that they received. THIS IS OUR BIG OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE THIS FAST WITHOUT MUCH FLOOR DEBATE; PLEASE FAX ASAP. THANK YOU!!! And please forward this to others who are interested in freedom of choice, especially for raw dairy.

Re: Farm Bill – Urgent Amendment
Dear Senator/Representative _______________,
I have an emergency issue regarding agriculture/health for the Farm Bill. I have been drinking raw milk for ______ years. I thrive on it. Pasteurized dairy literally makes me ill. I have difficulty acquiring raw milk from small farmers because of the unscientific, prejudicial and discriminatory FDA regulations against raw milk. Raw milk is not ever dangerous. We should have the right to drink raw milk if we want. We have the right to smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol which are harmful.
The scientific facts presented in Drs. William Campbell Douglass, M.D. and Aajonus Vonderplanitz PhD (Nutrition) Report In Favor of Natural Milk proves raw milk is safe and health-giving and shows that pasteurized diary caused epidemics. I implore you to accept a meeting with Right To Choose Healthy Food president Dr. Vonderplanitz and Jeff Slay who represent me regarding an amendment to the Farm Bill, as follows:
Amendment to the Farm Bill
1) Unpasteurized/raw milk will be allowed commercially with the same regulations as pasteurized milk, aligned with present California State and Los Angeles County codes;
2) Health departments cannot use surveys to conclude and blame for possible food-poisoning incidents and relay them to the public and media without conclusive scientific support.;
3) Government employees cannot make prejudicial, discriminatory and negative opinions about raw milk to the public and media without justifiable scientific proof.
Thank you very much for helping me remain healthy.
Respectfully,
YOUR NAME
YOUR ADDRESS
YOUR PHONE NUMBER (if you provide your contact number, your fax will carry
more weight)
