Protest National Animal ID Program

[Thanks to Bill Walker for sending in this item]

The Granny Warriors (http://www.grannywarriors.com) will stage their next freedom protest on Tuesday, Oct. 24th between 9am and 4pm in Richmond, Virginia, on the corner of E. Broad Street (1100) and Governor street. This is right across from the USDA office that signed off on the pre-dawn raid of the Henshaw hunting club, which slaughtered their entire stock of wild Russian boars without due process. [More info on the raid can be found at: http://www.readthehook.com/stories/2006/10/05/COVER-boarSlaughter-F.doc.aspx and http://www.newsleader.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061004/SPORTS/610040308/1006 ]

The Granny Warriors are particularly concerned about the USDA’s National Animal Identification System , kind of a Real ID for farm animals. The Granny Warriors ride into battle in an RV all decked out in liberty colors and a Free State Project banner, and they need your support. Their RV consumes a lot of gas (like hundreds of dollars worth) so they welcome donations. At the protest they will need numbers, and they will be distributing FSP brochures, so any porcupines who can make it are welcome!

[Editor's Note: It should be noted that the Granny Warriors take some not so Libertarian positions on some other issues. However this protest is strictly about NAIS and the raid on the Henshaws. This is one issue where we can work together and a large Libertarian turnout would be appreciated.]
