We admit we have not been posting for a while because Sen. Florez's new bill seemed like a solution. However, the bill still has to make it through the legislature! And CDFA and FDA are likely to oppose. They are heavy hitters and we need to organize all over again for this new phase. Please read the attached and contact Health Committee members right away, then show up at the hearing and testify! Thank you -- AuLait
FDA THREATENING RAW MILK IN U.S., STARTING IN CALIFORNIA
The FDA and CDFA are pushing harder than ever, with plenty of press on their side. Claravale and OPDC URGE YOU TO STAND TOGETHER to save raw milk for California and the nation. Make phone calls, appear and testify at the Assembly Health Committee hearing scheduled for Tuesday, June 24th at 1:30 PM, room 4202 in Sacramento.
PHONE CALLS TO HEALTH COMMITTEE ARE CRUCIAL BETWEEN NOW AND THE 24TH! CDFA and FDA may appear, and we need all the back up support we can muster. MAKE THOSE CALLS! Go here to get the list and talking points:

SB 201 "The Fresh Raw Milk Act of 2008" will be heard by the Health Committee on June 24th at 1:30 PM and again by the Assembly Agriculture Committee on June 25th at 1 PM. If you wish continued access to safe, fresh raw milk, please call the committee members, attend and be heard.

SB 201 makes sense for everyone and we need your support to assure its passage into law. Because SB 201 will be designated an urgency bill it needs 2/3 majority vote.
>>URGENT! Please contact these Health Committtee members.

Raw milk hangs in the balance.
See you June 24th at 1:30 in Sacramento!
