Government Bullies, by Senator Rand Paul (R, KY): on Free Trade


Rand Paul: Participated with Raw Milk Freedom Riders civil disobedience

Small farmers up and down the Mid-Atlantic region are raided at gunpoint by goons from the USDA and FDA. What product were they trafficking in that led to such harsh treatment from their government?

Milk.

In November 2011, my office was happy to participate with the Raw Milk Freedom Riders, who set out to acquire raw milk in protest of raids on small farmers.

The Raw Milk Freedom Riders intentionally purchased and transported raw milk across state lines in violation of federal law.

Civil disobedience. Hunger strikes. Persecuted activists. The food freedom movement has all the hallmarks of the great struggles of the past, and that's because it shares a common enemy with those movements--aggressive and arrogant government.
