PING!
This is the kind of omnipresent bureaucracy they loved.
>>>Are you sure the Nazis lost the war?
I say no. This is part of the Final Aim (Endziel).

Maybe I should send these functional illiterates some papers to sign, giving me half their land for free.
If you can't read what you sign, before signing it, then the consequences are your problem. If you can't understand what you're reading, hire a lawyer to explain it to you before signing.
Need I say they get no sympathy from me?
We got our reistration matterials last month, with the notification on the registration card that it was voluntary. We didn't volunteer; instead, we tossed them into the woodstove.
Always a good decision! :-)
The NAIS is evil. It is designed to protect agri-business while screwing over the little farmer.
President Bush should issue an executive order blocking all registrations that do not have the land owner's permission. Even better block all current registrations and force the FDA to get written permission from every land owner that must be signed after the date of the executive order.
People have no idea how insidious the NAIS is. It has provisions to require people to identify any sort of livestock on their premises--even chickens and guinea hens, animals that come and go quickly as they are born, eaten, and/or become fox chow. You're going to have to inform the state when you take your horse off the property to trail ride or hunt or show. You're going to have to get every animal you own chipped. It's as bad as having government cameras on the road outside your house keeping track of whatever you do.
Always been that way, and always will.
Requiring, of course, a massive bureaucracy to enforce. A lot of folks just aren't going to bother - can you see the Latinos who keep chickens and goats going along with this? In a way, they are promoting the very conditions they say they're trying to prevent.

I think it is a direct violation of both the 4th and 5th Amendments of the Constitution. I just asked for Brand papers here in N Nevada. I don't have them back yet, but if there is more than I paid for, I will be raising a stink about it.
I have been against this whole proposal since I first got info a year ago.
It is NOT a law--nothing has passed Congress or signed by Bush. This is entirely being pushed by unelected employees of the USDA, and I don't know how much they are being paid by the companies that produce the chips or the scanner guns we will be required to carry when transporting our horses, etc. Guns cost $800 each. I can ride off my property, and I refuse to comply.
Surprise, surprise - the manufacturers who stand to make a huge profit would support the program... duh...
And anyone wanna bet that the livestock associations were promised a generous kickback for promoting the tagging.... follow the money.
Actually, it sounds more like the old Soviet Union - you know - Nikita Khrushchev who said that they would destroy the US from the inside... And since the "end of the Cold War" we have continually bragged that we "won".... I'm not so sure about that now...
Should vs. what GW will actually do. Don't hold your breath. This program will create more jobs for illegals to come in and do - after all, Regular Americans won't want to chip all those cattle....
bump
I stopped by to ping YOU! ;*)
Sad thing is I got a form to fill out in the mail from this thing. It said it was mandatory. This was 2 weeks ago. I do not know how they thought to send me one. Maybe cause I am a member of the Farm Bureau. I do not do any farming. I buy my insurance with them.. I have only pets. 3 minuature horses and one minature goat. I had two sheep but some dogs killed them. Wonder if I would have to report their murder to the FEDS.
