---PLEASE BROADCAST--- FRESH is coming to Congress!

The National Independent Consumers and Farmers Association (NICFA) and FRESH are co-sponsoring a special screening for our legislators.

Has FRESH inspired you? It will also inspire those who make our laws.

Please invite your legislators to the special screening of this riveting movie!

The "food safety" bill, S 510, is before the Senate. The vote on it was delayed since our last ALERT, so it could be voted on anytime. FRESH will show our legislators the benefits of a local food system threatened by S 510. Let's get our Senators and Representatives there so they can see and understand the unintended consequences S 510 would have on our small farms.

WHEN: Friday May 21, 2010, 4:30-6:30
WHERE: Rayburn House Office Building Foyer
WHAT: Special screening of FRESH for legislators and staff

Director/Producer Ana Joanes and star Joel Salatin will introduce the movie, take questions afterward and speak to legislators on the importance of preserving access to our Fresh foods and the farms those foods come from.

Unfamiliar with FRESH?
"FRESH celebrates the farmers, thinkers and business people across America who are re-inventing our food system. FRESH is more than a movie, it's a gateway to action. Our aim is to help grow FRESH food, ideas, and become active participants in an exciting, vibrant, and fast-growing movement."
