Raw milk - act now so you can benefit from the raw food diet in the future

AB 1735 ACTION ALERT
Final action short of lawsuit necessary
to overturn AB 1735

Please, immediately contact:

California Senator Abel Maldonado
CA Secretary of Agriculture Mr. A. G. Kawamura

As a direct result of your recent actions, key assembly representatives support overturning AB 1735.

However, California Assembly members expressed concern that we do not have the support of California Senator Abel Maldonado who head the agricultural committee and California Secretary of Agriculture, Mr. A.G. Kawamura.

It is critical that we create an avalanche of political pressure by sending them strong messages (see below). Please call and FAX Abel Maldonado and A.G. Kawamura immediately. Faxes are more important than calls but both work best. Thank you.

suggestions: The following points may seem harsh but they reflect truth (see "Background" below). The Senator and Secretary need to know what has happened on there watch:

1. I want and need raw milk to maintain and increase my health and well being. It should not be so regulated that it will bankrupt dairies and not be commercially available to me.
   

2. Certain staff members within CDFA who maintain personal prejudices against raw milk participated and conspired in an illegal, secret and silent process to deny me access to raw milk.

3. Demand that they use their powers to immediately suspend or reverse AB 1735 and the "less-than-10 coliform" standard for raw milk in California.

4. Demand that the CDFA staff who misrepresented raw milk science and snuck the groundless coliform standard into AB 1735 be dismissed immediately

Background:

Certain staff members in CDFA introduced negative language into a bill which would be applied to an industry which it regulates. That is illegal activity which 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 governor's 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 may be the last effort needed to overcome AB 1735. Please call and FAX your letters today. See www.SaveRawMilk.org
