Here's an interesting article entitled, "Why you should oppose the USDA's mandatory property and animal surveylance program" which also has a plug for a grass roots organization being launched in response called Farm For Life:

Here's another link to an article written by the same person, a lawyer's response on NAIS :
http://reliableanswers.com/politics/nais.asp In this article, the following issues are addressed:
-Constitutional infirmities of the proposed program;
-An enormous economic cost to animal owners, the States, the Department, and, ultimately, to American taxpayers and consumers for a program likely to be ineffectual;
-Weaknesses in the stated rationales for the program;
-A lack of consideration of alternative, far cheaper and more easily administered measures which would more effectively protect animal health and food security; and
-A lack of notice and an opportunity to be heard for medium-scale, small-scale, and home farmers, and for other citizens owning livestock solely for their own use or pleasure, in the Department's process thus far.
Interesting reading. We must continue to pray and get the word out about all of this.
