I was there. Standing room only crowd that spilled out from the aisles into the hallway. I think they were a little surprised by the number of people. Sen. Nicely received an ovation at one point. Ch 5 news was there and there is a printed article on line about the meeting. No mention of the crowd, just that the Gov.,Ag Comm. Givens are for it and it is already underway. And a VP from the TN cattleman’s Ass. was there and called us a bunch of conspiracy theorists. He’s all for it, naturally. Next meeting is on the 4th of April.

conspiracy theorists.???? Boy that’s a good one, considering who it came from?? Where does the actual conspiracy lie??? It was all of them who conspired against all of us, in the beginning! I believe that they all thought that we would sit and do nothing!

Does anyone have a time for this so that I can go support those that fight against NAIS?
