Thank you for giving Utah's citizens the right to choose. ********** [125606:031215] C.W., Sandy, UT Yet another attempt to 'control' what we can and cannot EAT/DRINK - JUST SAY NO TO CONTROL! I am a fourth generation real (raw) milk drinker and I have done my homework regarding its benefits! That being said, regardless if you drink raw milk or not, I adamantly am opposed to government intervening in my choice to buy and consume it! ********** [123846:031215] E.G., Lehi, UT Please vote YES on HB 104. As a health-minded consumer i'd love to have increased access to raw grass-fed dairy for myself and my family. The option to a cowshare/herdshare would be a wonderful thing to have access to in Utah! Thanks! ********** [120006:031215] J.H., Smithfield, UT I have enjoyed watching today's session at home. What a great way to be able to follow whats happening and teach my children at the same time. we appreciate your time serving the state. When you come back from your lunch you will have the chance to vote on HB104. Please Vote to pass this bill and restore property rights to those who wish to own dairy animals. thanks you ********** [115429:031215] L.B., South Jordan, UT Please vote YES to HB 104 - Please allow the people of Utah to choose their own food sources. ********** [113342:031215] A.T., Orem, UT To Whom it may concern, Dear Sirs and Madams, I urge you to pass HB 104. It supports freedom of food choice and local agriculture markets. Thank you for your time, Anne T. ********** [104834:031215] C.R., Richfield, UT Vote yes on HB 104! We the people, have the right to make individual choices pertaining to our food supply without interference from government or state authority. This bill keeps the power where it should be, in the hands of the consumer. You can best serve us as elected officials by empowering access to the foods of our choosing. Thank you! ********** [103349:031215] T.F., Cedar City, UT Please uphold our freedom on this important matter! I'm so happy this has message it through the house and senate committee. Let's make it a success in the senate as well! ********** [102244:031215] L.A., Hurricane, UT Please please vote yes on HB 104! We need to be able to choose how we feed our families and to have access to clean raw milk through a herd share program! Raw milk is so full of the essential enzymes needed for health and we would choose to drink it and feed it to our families if it were available. We want to have a say and a part in raising our own cow, knowing that what we feed it and how we care for it makes a life saving difference to our health and well-being. We've read the research and we want to know what is in our food! Please, please give us the right and the choice! Vote YES on HB 104! Thank you!! ********** [100111:031215] W.O., Salt Lake City, UT Please pass hb 104. Though it is limited in its scope it is an improvement on the current state laws. I would like improved freedom to access raw milk and butter. While I can appreciate government wanting to protect me from the "dangers" of raw milk I see this as an infringement on my right to eat healthy foods. Please support my right to choose.

Thank you Dr. Wayne Olsen ********** [095127:031215] L.F., Leeds, UT Just a reminder to please vote "yes" today on HB 104, Cow sharing/ property rights. This is a bill that will restore property rights that were mistakenly removed in 2007. Please give the people of Utah back the right to choose their own food sources. Raw milk consumption is not a public health issue and doesn't need to be regulated! Thank you for your service and sacrifice in protecting our rights in Utah! It is very much appreciated! ********** [092820:031215] K.B., 1700:3016:Jim Matheson, I am writing to ask that you please vote yes on HB104. This is an issue of property rights and my freedom to choose what I do with the milk from my cow. With so few licensed raw milk dairies in the state, this is such a great alternative for many of us who can't make the drive to purchase raw milk. Vote Yes! ********** [092206:031215] C.N., Riverton, UT I know several people who are interested in access to raw milk. I am not one of them, but I fully support people having the right to choose what they consume. Please vote YES on HB 104. ********** [091415:031215] M.L., Provo, UT Dear Senator Bramble As HB104 comes before the senate today I would ask that you vote Yes. Our history of our state is rich in the traditions of self sufficiently, respecting property rights and agriculture. This bill will help restore some of that heritage. Please vote Yes on HB104. Thank you for your service. Martha Leive ********** [090257:031215] R.M., Kaysville, UT Please pass HB 104, we love raw milk and we would love to be able to support our neighbors and friends ! Thank you ********** [084809:031215] R.S., Heber City, UT Please use common sense and good judgement to pass this bill. This is not only about raw milk in my opinion. ********** [084726:031215] C.J., Morgan, UT Dear Senators, I have been drinking raw milk for over twelve years. Raw milk is safe and a benefit for it holds many health properties that pasteurized milk does not, particularly for those who are lactose intolerant. However, when cow sharing was banned in 2007 it became very difficult to find suppliers of raw milk as it was then monopolized by a small handful of dairies. Please vote YES on HB 104 so that we may have the opportunity to find more dairies that could provide us this valuable food source. Thank you for your time, Chanelle Jones Morgan, Utah ********** [084445:031215] D.S., Cedar City, UT Please vote YES on HB104. It is up to us, not the government, to determine how we choose to obtain our milk. Thank you. ********** [084219:031215] E.S., Logan, UT Please allow us to own partial shares of dairy animals. Access to legal raw dairy is a choice that should be available to my family. We do not have space to raise our own animals and it is a very long drive to legal raw dairy, so allow us to partner with our local farmers to share ownership in dairy animals. ********** [075219:031215] M.K., Lehi, UT I urge you to vote YES on HB 104 [Cow-Share Amendments bill] to strike the prohibition on cow-sharing from the Utah Dairy Code. Please restore property rights and allow herdshares in Utah. ********** [073653:031215] R.H., Cedar City, UT I believe strongly that voting yes on HB 104 Secures personal property rights in Utah. ********** [073533:031215] A.G., Lehi, UT We deserve the right to purchase and consume the dairy products we choose for ourselves. Don't cave to big business. It is your responsibility to protect the individuals. ********** [073128:031215] S.H., Lindon, UT Please vote for HB 104. Those of us who would like to have a cow between two families so we can use what that cow produces would be so appreciative. We appreciate your attention on this matter. ********** [073018:031215] J.B., Cedar City, UT I urge you to vote YES on HB 104 [Cow-Share Amendments bill] to strike the prohibition on cow-sharing from the Utah Dairy Code. Please restore property rights and allow herdshares in Utah. **********
