Yeah... i would invite you all to think of the other sheep farmers who got so sick of not being able to sell their Vermont cheese because everyone was afraid of getting mad cow. Because these people would not do the Mad Sheep testing many REAL Vermont sheep farmers VOLUNTARILY sold their herds to the USDA and started from scratch, or simply moved on to dairy farming. Please think before you simply and blindly endorse a sob story.
I just finished reading her book _Mad Cow_ and recommend it.
The story begins with the family's heroic productivity. Unfortunately, this virtue is attacked by the USDA using junk science. Thankfully, the family is vindicated by the facts, if not by the government, and they are able to renew their values despite government oppression.
There are many parallels to current news such as the man made global warming scam and government interference in economy causing collapse.
Everybody in America should be made aware of what happened to this Vermont family. This is a clear abuse of government power. I think if more Americans new what happened to this family they would be disgusted and angry, regardless of political party affiliation.
The problem is everyone thinks it's someone elses political party or Congressman or Legislator. It IS the Dem. and Rep. Until we are willing to take a chance a third party or truly independent candidate no one in politics gives a damned about this story. Only the "little people" care what happens in the REAL world.
I'm not sure I could trust him. I believe he once ran as a Libertarian - maybe for his state office. He says most of the right words. We so desperately need someone to get elected that will follow the rule of law and/or the Constitutions. So many just get swung from an R to a D and back again and nothing changes except the poor get poorer and rich get richer and the poor die for oil
I think it goes much deeper than oil. Right now we are the "consumers" and China, where all of these politians have their money invested, are the producers. Why do you think the fed keeps lowering the interest rates? Do you know that China now has an oil company that is larger than Exxon Mobil. Basically, I think our government is leaning towards more communist thinkings, where the elites keep all the money and power, while america's rich and middle class will get it taxed away.
Absolutely! Gov against the little people. Gov run by corp. to the detriment of Americans. Illegal aliens, health care is about getting it off the back of the richest corporations, education (job training), internships (cheap labor), SSI being stolen from those that paid a lifetime for it, Medicare and Medcaide underfunded, bonds for private/public partnerships (taxes for the poor while the rich buy tax free bonds) on and on and on.........
I think RP may be America's last great hope - unfortunately it is impossible to get signs etc. There seems to be no campaign headquarters in VT or NH. I've changed my mind on him. Hope he runs as Ind. not Bernie Sanders communist socialist but TRUE Ind.
Why would U feature Pat Leahy? Makes it seem he did something for U. He is the highest ranking member of Judicary Committee - CHAIRMAN. Corruption in Ag is Leahy's jurisdiction! What has he done to be sure NO ONE else suffers this?? WHat? Come on stupid Vermonters? Let's hear u on talk radio SOON!
Our CONGRESSMEN refused to help this family. Democrats: Patrick Leahy and Jim Jeffords. AND, Socialist Bernie Sanders who would rather see folks share their sheep with others. Community farming. Hold hands and sing KuByAHHHHH. Never vote for an R or D. Save America and family farms.....

I would invite you to watch the video and perhaps do a little research. The sheep were tested right from the start. The tests came out negative.

The part with the music and little girl carrying a lamb is touching, but "for a disease that doesn't exist"?
BSE does exist. I can't say if these sheep had BSE, but it does exist.
There are admittedly few cases of it transfering to humans, but if it can go to humans, it can go to sheep.
It is terrible that this happened to them, and I do think the USDA and the governments are handling this poorly.

Why don't the videos tell what Sanders, Jeffords and Leahy did to protect these farmers?

The USDA must go. Vote Ron Paul in 2008 and save our country from the bureaucrats.

what about Ron Paul
texaslina 4 years ago
We can hope.... I will probably vote for him in the Primary but the final vote will be third party...
concerned00citizen 4 years ago
What if he runs as a third party candidate?
I'm sorry I accidently hit the thumbs down when I tried to reply.
