Another thing comes to mind, and our CW newsletter brought it up. I quote, "New public service announcements promoting a vegetarian diet to solve childhood obesity are airing in some states. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) produced the announcements, which feature overweight kids as "the problem". These new announcements may be viewed online at http://www.perm.org/news/psas/tvhtml under the childhood obesity heading. The stations accepting these PSA's are likely not aware that PCRM is not a group of doctors and health experts, as its name would imply. Rather, this group is connected to the radical animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and spends significant resources promoting a strictly vegan diet. For a complete profile of this activist group, please visit www.activistcash.com. If you are aware these PSA's are running in your state and would like assistance responding, please contact us.

SIDE NOTE: I can't help but say it - Do you think R-CALF knew these people didn't care about the beef industry when they aligned themselves with them?" Unquote.

NCBA has NEVER aligned themselves with the groups R-Calf has, and I, too, Cattleco, would appreciate an explanation on how NCBA is ruining the cattle business. I know NCBA and our stockgrowers organizations worked diligently this year since it was a legislative year, to influence the outcome of some of the "bad bills" which have come across the hearings. I, myself have given testimony to several bills for our great state of Montana and the general consensus of Capitol Hill is that our Stockgrowers and membership have gained a LOT of respect from our legislators, and they really listen when we have something to say. This is an area outside of all this debate where no one seems to care! This is what really matters, preventing some really nasty bills from being passed which would REALLY HURT those of us as beef producers. I've heard R-Calf give testimony to bills which aren't in the best interest of the beef industry as a whole. I guess this is what divides R-Calf from the rest of us, we are in the BEEF industry, R-Calf represents the cow/calf producer , (so who cares about the BEEF?) 'Nuf said.
