Hog Wash! Appliances for Cash to Save the Planet
Washington State is giving away $1 million dollars
Home of the Indian Lottery
The US Department of Energy and Washington State Department of Commerce have so much cash they are are teaming up to pay you to dispose of your energy & water hog appliances to Save the Planet and stimulate the economy at the same time.
If these two agencies have so much cash to give away maybe they should consider dumping all those energy/carbon taxes they are considering and give legal Americans a real tax cut?
10 Minute Citizen: Strapped for cash and considering this program? Think about that energy efficient toilet that never really flushes. That will cure you.

10 Minute Citizen: NASDA is your state Department of Agriculture. They have joined together to form an Association that represents us. Call your state Representatives, Senators, and Congressmen and women and tell them NO to regionalization. Be polite as they are very nervous these days and you don’t want to the *t* list.

Animal Surveillance in WA: Remember!
Animal Tracing (WSAIS)
Contact Information Registration is Voluntary in Washington State.
For more information, e-mail or call (360) 725-5493
- WSDA Animal Health Officials will use contact information and existing livestock identification information to trace exposed and infected livestock.
NoNAISWA will help the WSDA remember that in addition to tracing (surveillance) of diseased and (disease-free) animals they use voluntary personal information for purposes of:
Quarantine
&
Depopulation (Kill, slaughter, cull, stamp-out)
With the upcoming planned flu event this is important to remember. WSDA no longer is locally controlled. They are in process of, and have adopted, the Terrestrial Animal Health Code created by the FAO/OIE/UN.

Montana will decide today if she will go Voluntary (our preference) or Mandatory. Sounds like an old Clairol Hair Color commercial <how sad>.

Big Federal >>Squeeze<< to Kill Voluntary NAIS in WA
The >>>federal squeeze<<< is on to kill Voluntary NAIS in Washington State. Agency heavy hitters and their government PAID contractors are busy this morning. The Department of Ecology, the USDA and APHIS, FDA, and the Performance Systems International located in (you guessed it) Washington DC all are burning the phone and computer lines attempting to deceive your Washington Legislator’s into a Mandatory NAIS.
Your voice is more important than ever to support your local farmer and rancher bring your family local, delicious and nutritious, quality food products.
Please support Voluntary NAIS in Washington State, HB 2086 and SB 5956.
How do I support Voluntary NAIS?
When agriculture is free from unaccountable agency regulation we can bring you our very best. Thank you for taking time to support your local farmer and rancher by supporting voluntary NAIS.
Public Request to Exec Out HB 2086 & SB 5956
Dear Agricultural Chairmen and Committee Members,
I want to thank you for your voluntary participation in the hearing of the proposed bills, Voluntary Participation in the National Animal Identification System (known as NAIS), and presented to you in the forms of HB 2086 and SB 5956 yesterday afternoon, 2/17/2009, at 1:30 PM PT in both the Senate and House Agricultural Committees. The issue of the National Animal Identification System is not new to you because it began implementation 6 years ago, costing Washingtonians thousands of dollars for a redundant system wanting to supplant programs that had already achieved success years ago.
For you who are members of the Agricultural Committees, two things were emphasized in yesterday’s hearings:
Protecting the health of people and animals in Washington State
Maintaining economic viability in a global economy
Unfortunately, it is my understanding that Dr. Eldridge and Mary Beth Lang provided these Agricultural Committees with some mis-information. Please allow me to clarify, and I apologize beforehand for a slightly technical document.
Currently the WSDA and Dr. Eldridge already have all the power, funding, resources, and guidelines needed to deal with any agricultural related emergency. The following are the resources Dr. Eldridge has at his disposal: Continue reading
