If their are proper protections in the bill (like banning the sale of it to minors) then who cares. People can smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol. If adults in the state of Wisconsin want to increase their risk of listeria then they should be able to accept that risk.

Since photo Id's can easily be faked, instead we should create a resident DNA database. Then a simple pin prick blood test at your polling place can be used to verify that voters truly are who they claim.
After all we must protect ourselves from the rampant illegal voting by cheaters that have so greatly effected the outcome of elections, no matter what the cost.
Also since corporations are people they should be allowed to vote. Not only that, but they should be allowed to vote as many times as they have shareholders, since they are now our true representatives.
Being Rep Stone is an active member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), one can be certain he did not write this bill, but merely submitted one that was written for him by ALEC.
The problem democracy has is these robotic legislators who have dead brain cells and can only present what has been given them. At least Rep Stone had his hired help (paid by taxpayer dollars) go through the ALEC boilerplate and inserted "Wisconsin" and other pertinent words.
That this is even a case that went to court is disgusting! Why doesn't law enforcement focus on catching pedophiles and child abduction rings instead? Maybe it was easier to catch the raw milk farmer!
I don't trust regressives! Regressives are throwing money at everything and there is power in doing so. But, regressives won't prevail. It is ridiculous the page has been modified.
Constitutional rights are aggressively being violated and are, I daresay, commonplace. I applaud the Occupiers in standing up for individual rights of the 'common man' to enjoy liberty; to call a spade a spade, or rather, to stand up to the white=collar criminals on Wall Street as well at WalMart.
love how the busing in voters conspiracy thread is STILL ongoing...
I solved all those "problems" a long time ago. I quit voting. Our two-party political system is so corrupt our votes mean nothing anyways. I quit jury duty, too. Who really cares anymore? I had to change the address on my ID, but that only cost $14.00. If they send a jury summons to my "new" address, I'll just change it back to my old one.
See, I'm learning to be deceptive, just like a politician. the only thing I don't get to go with it is a big fat salary and pension like they get.
I think your your comment is obviously slanted !

I have a small shop and business can be good or slow based on many factors such as the weather or economy but this healthcare issue is consistant.
I look forward to the day when it is easy to make important choices in regard to employees and healthcare.

And today's winner of the first moronic comment of the day is Anonymous!
Typically if you present an article/argument you show both sides not one and give that sides opinion on everything. These are common sense policies every state should have and none of them would constituent "a sweeping assault on democracy". Please justify why in 2 weeks you cannot find that 5 minutes to cast your vote, why you cannot obtain an ID (any form state,student,drivers)and how exactly writing you cannot afford one is humiliating. IF your whole excuse against voted ID is because some cannot afford it (even though WI offers free voter IDs) then sorry but you are going to have to verify that. That would be like applying for food stamps but not telling them how much money you make a month and expecting to get x amount every month. You cannot have everything people either you are so poor that you cannot get that free ID (let's just pretend you need a new Birth certificate that's what 20 bucks) then you will need to verify as much or come with the required things. As for witness signatures i see nothing wrong with tossing those votes and really we should have done that last election. What is to stop Joe Blow from "witnessing" several ballots and just putting his name on all of them? What if Joe Blow came from IL via bus like we saw in the recall election? Should that man really be able to act as witness? Sorry but these are common sense issues that will have no impact on anyone other then those trying to cheat the system
The ultimate goal of Scott Walker and the Republicans is to eliminate public school teachers because they contribute to the Democratic party. It's all about stanching the flow of money to any political group that competes with the Republican Party and conservatives.
In fact, what's going on here is that Perdue is using a false claim of "humane treatment" in an attempt to create a premium brand with a premium price tag. The rest of your post is too irrational to bother replying to.
Jane,
Read "Organic Chemicals in Sewage Sludge" which refers to the "National Sewage Sludge Survey". Read that too. Tell me if you feel safe after reading the data you paid for. The EPA has spent millions and still do not have all the facts. One thing is common in all the research I have read. "limited pollution" and "Risk" associated with the use of sewage sludge. It would be OK if the farmers were the only ones at risk but that is not the case is it?
A blind person can see why this is happening. This is the large city dumping sewage sludge on the surrounding counties. Why, it is produced in such large quantities that it was the cheapest way to get rid of it.
They tried dumping it in the ocean killing large areas that will never support life again. They tried putting it in land fills. Heck NY even trained it down to Texas and dumped it openly out on a 1000 acre spread out by El Paso in 1989.
THE CITIES ARE DUMPING ON THE SURROUNDING AREAS.
The word "biosolid" was made up to fool farmers and citizen into thinking it is OK to dump on farmland. IT IS SEWAGE SLUDGE. THE MOST POLLUTED SUBSTANCE ON THE PLANET NEXT TO RADIATION.
And, how do those "confirmed cases" stack up against would-be voters blocked from voting at the polls because of roadblocks obtaining IDs? Insignificant by comparison, I'll bet.
And that's the whole point of voter ID laws -- you don't have to get a whole bunch of people to commit fraud, just find a way to block a whole bunch of legitimate voters legally.
"Any form of raw milk legislation in Wisconsin will only aid DATCP in their agenda of control of the food and infringe upon your right to procure food directly from the farm"
THIS IS CORRECT! Just leave it alone and let people choose what they want to drink....the regulators are working for "big milk" and will draft regulations to favor their positions.
There is no reason milk should be a political issue. No one is forcing anyone to drink raw milk....on the other hand the state wants to force commercial/industrial milk as the only choice available. The state does love its monopoly power. The state uses guns, violence, force and peoples tax money to create its monopoly for big milk...and big milk is more than happy to pay them to do it.
The cow share program eliminates any political/government involment. It lets farmers be farmers again...it lets them sell their products, advertise, deliver and make processed products such as cheese and yogurt....all illegal under state regulator's laws.
Hats off to Vernon and his family as well as FTCLDF and its attorneys.
Great Job!!!!! Thank you all!!!!!!!

Your reply was perfect!
thank you for this article
People want to have their chicken humanely processed and changing the way our food source handles its meat is not wanting it eliminated.
