Many U.S. Citizens view the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) as an Alien Empire that’s invading privacy and constitutional rights.
… Invading because NAIS wasn’t invited and ignores the will of a majority.
… Alien because our country stands for Freedom not NAIS dictatorship.
… Invasion of Constitutional Rights, because NAIS is tromping on Citizen Rights.
This year, (2008): NAIS will be attacking with the power of nearly Fifty (50) Millions Dollars of resources (Citizen Taxes). That amount does not include monies (Government Budgeted and Borrowed from Private Lenders) from 2003 through 2007.
To put it straight, NAIS has muscle and they aren’t shy about flexing it!
Here’s the challenge…
NAIS has organization, a mission, a plan, multiple strategies, and has the general public terrified.
They have an intelligence operation and intelligent agents dedicated to see that plans materialize (even if agents don’t agree with the purpose).
Note: In the above case, the word intelligence does not apply to awareness.
Here’s the big question: What type of organization, mission, plan, or strategies do activists against the NAIS agenda have?
Comparatively speaking, the answer is few or next to none.
There are many who talk about freedom, less that actionize the talk, and a handful on sporadic islands in Cyber-Space that are frantically waving warnings… But we’re growing, and headed for the mainland.
Please add your voice and actions. We need folks with a pioneer spirit and a “GET it Done” approach.
Who among us has the awareness to “See” and the “Brave Heart” to link up? We need State by State (organized advocates) to express our resistance to the NAIS.
Tom and Diane Jones of “Windt Im Wald Farm” have expressed to me: There are moves across the country to form State Independent Consumers and Farmers Association groups.
Several States have formed such groups. People of other States would be well served to follow suit.
It seems that forming such groups would be the best way to strengthen the case for a wide variety of citizen representation. This would not only address concerns of people who are aware of the NAIS, but would also be an excellent central resource to bring awareness to hundreds of thousands that are yet to realize just how negatively NAIS (if successful) will change their lives.
Yes, many people are still unaware of the NAIS invasion.
An agency or association of this type and purpose (if focused and operated appropriately) could not only be of great assistance to the equine industry, but all livestock owners as well.
With proper resources, a clear mission, focused plan, and wise strategies, it could very well be the perfect tool to cross, unite, and build an entirely new (Action Oriented) social network of livestock owners.
It’s also important to consider, (in a speculative form), the NAIS big picture.
At this time, the NAIS focus (on the surface) is all about an animal Identification System. As large as that seems, it’s extremely small in comparison to the possibilities in the future. In saying that, State-By-State organizations would have the moral and ethical responsibility to reflect on similar historical events, present intents, and projected future possibilities.
It sure beats hanging out alone!
