Ron and Raw Milk

Writes : " RP spoke today before the annual lobby day of the National

Independent Consumers and Farmers Association here on the Hill. They are the

group that wants government to stay out of their business. It was an

enormous success. It was standing room only, with Amish organic farmers

sharing space with Capitol Hill staffers and local farm advocates. The room

was full of local farm products and unpasteurized milk and milk products,

delicious farm-made meats and sausages, artisan breads. As soon as RP walked

in, there was a hush across the crowd. He was introduced by the great local

farm guru Salatin to an enthusiastic standing ovation that was so

ferocious that it surprised RP. He spoke near a large Ron chocolate

sculpture that an artisan chocolatier had crafted for the occasion. His

speech was interrupted several times by loud applause and when he finished

his message of self-reliance and government non-interference, there was

another extended standing ovation. Another Congressman followed him and

remarked at how difficult it was to follow Ron . You could tell: half

the room cleared out when RP left. What is interesting about the speech of

the Member who followed RP is that several times he emphasized that he was

'just like Ron ' on this or that issue. That would NEVER have happened

before this past year's events. Members would have gone out of their way to

say how different they were from him. Now the opposite is true. And most of

his applause lines were when he emphasized how like Ron he is. What a

great event! With gallons of that demon raw milk that the government doesn't

want you to have
