MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!

One of the key fights over NAIS will be over this year’s funding for the program. It is critical that the members of the
Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittees hear from people who are opposed to NAIS!

WHOM SHOULD I CALL? The chair and ranking member of each committee take input from people all over the country.
So everyone should call Rep. DeLauro, Rep. Kingston, Senator Kohl, and Senator Bennett. In addition, if one of the com-
mittee members is from your state, then call him or her. Even if you are not in their district, as committee members they
should be interested in what their state’s citizens have to say.

WHAT DO I SAY? Ask to speak to the staffer who handles the issue of agricultural appropriations. Have a discussion with
the staffer about why you are against NAIS, including the way the federal funding is encouraging mandatory, coercive,
and misleading implementation methods at the state level. Give them concrete examples of how NAIS will impact your
life and your community. Ask them about the Congressperson’s position, and try to address any concerns they have about
opposing NAIS.

WHAT’S NEXT? Follow-up with a thank you, and additional information to address any concerns the staffer raised. If you
need help, contact Judith@FarmAndRanchFreedom.org.
