Early morning raids.
Relentless interrogation and harassment.
Are these the aggressive actions of the federal government against suspects in the war on terror?
No. These describe the tactics of the Food and Drug Administration against everyday Americans like Amish farmer Dan Allgyer.
And now this farmer, his family, and his community don't know if their way of life will survive the statists' wrath.
What "crime" is the FDA finding him guilty of?
"Providing unpasteurized milk from healthy, grass-fed cows across state lines to members of cooperatives seeking unprocessed food."
These busybodies are misinterpreting the commerce clause to cite Allgyer's violation. Originally, this clause was intended to prevent states from prohibiting individuals from doing business with one another across state lines.
In other words, the federal food authorities are doing the exact opposite of their constitutional mandate and acting as out of control as the Federal Reserve and our "leaders" in Congress.
The FDA will cite "food safety" concerns to justify its actions, but you and I know the truth about its continued war against local food producers:
It's about helping out their Big-Ag buddies.
It's about control over you, your family, and your choices.
Well I don't know about you, but I've certainly had enough of these bureaucrats destroying the livelihoods of these hard-working Americans.
Please, call your representative and senators today to urge them to rein in the reckless FDA by stopping it from interfering with voluntary, private contracts between farmers and private citizens.
Also, send a message directly to the FDA by contacting themhere.
Tell them to stop wasting your tax dollars on raids and spying operations on peaceful Amish farmers and members of private food groups.
Tell them to end their unjust civil suit against Amish farmer Dan Allgyer.
Tell them to do something more productive with their time.
The FDA has conducted many sting operations and raids against US farmers over the years, with this year-and-a-half long sting on the buying club connected to Allgyer only the most recent.
And now the food police are filing a civil suit against this Amish farmer for introducing into "interstate commerce" raw milk intended for human consumption and are giving him notice of a pending request for permanent injunction.
It is an obscene overreach of federal authority to try and shut down the private transactions between honest farmers and their willing consumers.
That's why each day more and more concerned activists like you are taking a stand against these brazen actions.
Earlier this month, hundreds of concerned citizens attended a rally in support of Allgyer and local food production.
When the government can tell you what you can eat, it can tell you who you are.
You and I must make our voices heard.
