from Michael Schmidt:

" Let me thank you all for being part of this battle right across Canada. We will turn that around there is no doubt in my mind.

In respect to Kurtis' letter I have the following thoughts.

The Government is hoping for any incident to justify their position. I am sure that they also praying that something will go wrong with our milk so that the judge has no choice but to rule in their favor. I am of the opinion that we should develop production guidelines and do peer inspections not to control but to offer help and support.

> Yes there are filthy operations which should not be tolerated by those who need the milk.

> I would welcome a national strategy on this issue with the goal of responsible self governance.

> Great work you do in BC keep going and going and going and going.... that will be all part of a proven health record.

> If it would be as dangerous as claimed to be they should be here and there with blazing guns. Where are they? We soon will have continued for three years after the raid, increased our herd by 30 % and have accordingly also more cow share members.

> Keep forming more cow share operations until this groundswell has an impact.

Plus:
"a very sympathetic treatment of where we're at with the REAL MILK in BC, in terms of public perception of the issue.
