This bill, introduced on January 29th by Ron Paul, will help tear down the FDA-imposed wall that criminalizes the interstate shipment of raw milk. HR 778 is up for review by the Energy and Commerce committee. These committee members need a call from you:

Henry Waxman - (202) 225-3976
Anna Eshoo - (202) 225-8104
Lois Capps - (202) 225-3601
Jane Harman - (202) 225-8220
Doris Matsui - (202) 225-7163
Jerry McNerney - (202) 225-1947
George Radanovich - (202) 225-4540
Mary Bono Mack - (202) 225-5330

Tell them that in California we are free to buy safe, tested raw milk at more than 400 stores. Our friends and relatives living in surrounding states cannot access this same raw milk supply. The safety of raw milk is not affected by its physical location. If it is safe in Los Angeles or Tahoe it is still safe in Reno or Las Vegas.



Statement Introducing HR 778
Legislation Allowing Interstate Shipment of Unpasteurized Milk

Congressman Ron Paul
United States House of Representatives

January 29, 2009

Madame Speaker, I rise to introduce legislation that allows the shipment and distribution of unpasteurized milk and milk products for human consumption across state lines. This legislation removes an unconstitutional restraint on farmers who wish to sell or otherwise distribute, and people who wish to consume, unpasteurized milk and milk products. My office has heard from numerous people who would like to obtain unpasteurized milk. Many of these people have done their own research and come to the conclusion that unpasteurized milk is healthier than pasteurized milk. These Americans have the right to consume these products without having the federal government second-guess their judgment about what products best promote health. If there are legitimate concerns about the safety of unpasteurized milk, those concerns should be addressed at the state and local level. I urge my colleagues to join me in promoting consumers' rights, the original intent of the Constitution, and federalism by cosponsoring my legislation to allow the interstate shipment of unpasteurized milk and milk products for human consumption.
