WCL: Wis. Raw Milk bill stalls as Amish man faces 2 years in prison for sale

From Wisconsin Campaign for Liberty:
As you already know the fight for the legalization of Raw Milk is heating up in Wisconsin.  Farmers are being criminalized and our freedoms are being taken away.

Even if you do not drink raw milk, this fight should be very important to you.

If they can criminalize milk then they can criminalize other natural foods that they deem a threat to the establishment.

How long until they regulate your local farmers market?

You and I need to stand up and stop this nonsense right now!

Right now Senator Dale Schultz is stopping the legalization of Raw MilkSenate Bill 108 has been stuck in his committee on Agriculture, Forestry, and Higher Education since May 26th 2011.

Because of Senator Dale Schultz’ inaction, Amish raw milk farmer Vernon Hershberger faces maximum penalties of $13,000 in fines or 2 1/2 years in jail.

I need you to call and email Senator Dale Schultz right now at 608-266-0703, Sen.Schultz@legis.wisconsin.gov.

Ask him why he is standing against the freedom of Wisconsinites.  Demand that he bring S.B. 108, the Raw Milk bill, up for a vote immediately and move it out of his committee.

Tell him to stop standing against your freedom and bring Senate Bill 108 up for a vote right now!

How I wish I was able to get my hands on raw milk here in Missouri. You can through certain co-ops but your paying roughly around $10.00 a gallon. It is absolutely ridicules that the government has their hands in the sale of milk.

We pay about $14 a gallon here, but we get it delivered to our house. You have to remember that food prices are artificially controlled so their actual market value is much different than what the government mandates they sell at(hence why farming corporations have been able to destroy the family farms). I think it's well worth the money. Having a relationship with the producers of my food is priceless.
