Dzień Wolności Lemoniady i Świeżego Mleka

[father Tucker]

Amerykańscy libertarianie 18 sierpnia organizują Lemonade and Raw Milk Freedom Day [link] w Waszyngtonie. Z tego co zrozumiałem, to już któraś z kolei taka manifestacja. Polega ona głównie na otwieraniu i prowadzeniu stoisk z lemoniadą ( oczywiście, kompletnie bez żadnych pozwoleń ) rozdawaniu ulotek i protestowaniu przeciwko organizacjom rządowym, głównie FDA ( Food and Drug Agency )

From Friday, August 17, to Saturday, August 18, the Raw Milk Freedom Riders (RMFR) will help co-host Lemonade Freedom Day, a special two-day event in the Washington, D.C., area that aims to educate the public about how to demonstrate peaceful non-compliance in the face of tyranny, as well as how to rally and organize others to do the same.

In the tradition of earlier raw milk freedom rides, which drew attention to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s continued assault on raw milk sales and consumption (http://www.naturalnews.com/033904_raw_milk_Freedom_Riders.html), Lemonade Freedom Day will raise awareness about the importance of defending our collective freedom of voluntary exchange, or the freedom to peacefully buy and sell the foods of our choice from the producers of our choice without government oppression.

Raw milk dairies, lemonade stands, home gardens, and various other independent food suppliers and producers have been the target of an increasing number of government crackdowns in recent years. Citing things like lack of permits and various other violations of the law, local and federal agents have made it their new priority to threaten, fine, and even raid the properties of individuals that buy and sell food outside the system, including young children that are simply trying to make a few extra bucks selling refreshing beverages to their neighbors on hot days.

"Two groups of activists known as the Raw Milk Freedom Riders and Lemonade Freedom Day are taking their raw milk and lemonade to the lawn of the U.S. Capitol to celebrate what they call their right to 'voluntary exchange,'" says the official announcement by Lemonade Freedom Day, which is headed by health freedom activist Robert Fernandes.

"Recent shut downs of children's lemonade stands and SWAT-style raids on small farmers have inspired these mothers and other activists to take their message to the Capitol where they plan to risk criminal charges, and possibly jail, by gathering for a picnic with these illicit foods. Media are invited to witness the peaceful exchange."

Co ciekawe, podczas poprzedniej akcji troje ze sprzedających "nielegalną lemoniadę" zostało aresztowanych przez policję. Zarzuty później wycofano.
