“Call your Senators TODAY to urge that NAIS funding be cut. The Senate is expected to consider the Senate Agriculture Appropriations bill as soon as Wednesday evening. Unfortunately, the bill has over $14 million allocated for NAIS.
Additional talking points:
NAIS does not address the prevention or treatment of disease. It is only an after-the-fact tracking program, and USDA has not shown that NAIS will improve on existing tracking methods.
NAIS does nothing to improve food safety because the tracking ends when the animal dies, while the vast majority of foodborne illnesses are due to contamination at the slaughterhouse or during processing.
NAIS will cost animal owners and taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars, while benefiting only large agribusiness and technology companies.Remember to call both your Senators!”
Two ways to contact them:
1. Go to www.Senate.gov and enter your State in the box in the upper right-hand corner
2. Call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to your Senators’ offices”

OK, I called both Senator’s offices and then sent them both an e-mail through their websites. One office said that had received a lot of phone calls about this issue.
