"Setting the record straight: Why Rawesome Foods does not need a license - a Civil Rights issue" + "Shock claim – LA ‘authorities’ in Rawesome raw milk raids were impersonating public officials"

Date:   8/3/2011 5:23:18 PM ( 13 y ago)

Update-July 20, 2012:

"... That a government agency with such widespread powers would not even be willing to disclose documents confirming its compliance with California law is beyond disturbing. It is actually a sign that the runaway criminality of California government has crossed a tipping point and is now descending into accelerated lawlessness. Another obvious sign of the insanity of this organization is that while violent criminals run loose on the streets of Los Angeles, the DA’s office spends what surely amounts to millions of dollars in taxpayer money in an attempt to jail a 65-year-old senior citizen 'milk man' who is no threat whatsoever to the public.":

DEMONSTRATION - LOS ANGELES - FOOD RIGHTS - OCTOBER 4TH, 2011 at 8:30 AM

Hi, healthy food lovers,
The Board of Supervisors did not furnish us with a RESOLUTION acknowledging our Right of Association with our private food clubs. Therefore, we will demonstrate at the Board of Supervisors meeting tomorrow Oct. 4th, 2011 at 8:30 AM until as late as 6 PM. at the address below. Some of us will demonstrate outside and others inside. I hope that we have at least 300 members demonstrate. It will be a long day because we are not on the Board's Agenda. So, we will have to speak at the end at Miscellaneous Business. In order to speak, you must sign the speakers list sometime before 9 am. Inside the Board meeting, ask someone who looks like a clerk where you can sign the speakers list.

I ask all of you living in Los Angeles County to attend the demonstration on October 4th, arriving at least by 8:30 AM at: 500 West Temple Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012.

This is your moment to act for your food rights. If you fail, you fail your rights to have health and well-being the way you want it. So, let's see each other at the demonstration if necessary. If you cannot attend until the afternoon, it is better than not attending. You will still show your support. We will appreciate seeing you at anytime tomorrow.

BTW, Santa Cruz County passed a Resolution last month acknowledging its citizens the right to choose, have and consume the food they grow or to contract to have grown for them! Hurray for Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors:
“Resolution Recognizing the Rights of Individuals to Grow and Consume Their Own Food and to Enter into Private Contracts with Other Individuals to Board Animals for Food”:

http://www.farmtoconsumer.org/docs/SantaCruz-Right-to-Grow-and-Consume-Food-l...



Behavior at the Demonstration: We can demonstrate/picket at any corner sidewalk and sidewalk between intersections but we cannot block the sidewalks. We must stand or walk so that half of the sidewalk is passable by pedestrians. If anyone violates this, they may be arrested. Please, no violence.
See you tomorrow!!!

healthfully and appreciatively,

Previous Update:
"(NaturalNews) There's a tremendous amount of disinformation being put out on the internet about the Rawesome Foods raid, even by people who should know better. The most common complaint against Rawesome Foods is: Why don't they get licensed?:

"A multi-agency SWAT-style armed raid was conducted this morning by helmet-wearing, gun-carrying enforcement agents from the LA County Sheriff's Office, the FDA, the Dept. of Agriculture and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control).

This story is now being followed and widely reported on InfoWars (www.InfoWars.com) and the Drudge Report (www.DrudgeReport.com)."

From The Weston A. Price Foundation:
ACTION ALERT: FOOD BUYING CLUB RAID IN LOS ANGELES

"RAWESOME Raw Food Buying Club in Venice Beach, California was raided for the second time today and James Stewart, club organizer, is in jail with $123K bond set. Victoria Bloch, a Weston A. Price chapter leader, and farmer Sharon Palmer were also arrested.

Mark McAfee of Organic Pastures Dairy is organizing a protest rally tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. at the courthouse where the raw milk advocates are to be arraigned. Southern California citizens are urged to join Mark McAfee and food blogger Ann Marie Michaels.

Arraignment is scheduled for tomorrow in Department 30, Los Angeles Superior Court, fifth floor, Criminal Justice Center, 210 W. Temple St., Los Angeles. Court opens at 8:30 a.m. The district attorneys office says it is likely they are to go before the judge during the morning session.

ACTION TO TAKE
The office of the L.A. District attorney is fielding calls regarding the case. For more information, or to express concern about the governments actions, call 213-974-3512.

Also please call the Los Angeles television stations - KCBS, KNBC, KTLA, KABC - and ask them to cover the protest rally.

TALKING POINTS
Talking Points for speaking with elected official about this issue:
--Infringement of private property rights
--Misuse of state resources
--Denying citizens freedom of food choice

Ask your representatives in Congress to co-sponsor the Ron Paul bill lifting the ban on raw milk in interstate commerce; while not a factor in this case, it sends an important message about citizen access to raw milk.
