Howdy!
As we enter the holiday season, we wanted to forward our Solari holiday card to all of y'all.
Every year Solari chooses organizations we admire and support to be part of our Christmas donation list. Check out our complete donation list at our holiday greeting here.
This year we're highlighting our own Solari Take Action Crowdfund which focuses on funding our support of state legislators and officials to protect our financial transaction freedom. This includes supporting efforts for online or in-person briefings and producing and providing published materials. We believe there is a tremendous opportunity to expand these efforts if we can raise funding support. (For those who wish to contribute to this effort, please note that donations are not tax-deductible.)
Also on our list is American Stewards for Liberty (ASL). Margaret and Dan Byfield who run ASL are one of the most effective forces today stopping government and private land grabs. As they state on their website, “The environmental movement is actively working to turn half our nation into a nature preserve, off-limits to everyone from back-packers to farmers. We push back on their agenda every single day. If we lose our right to own property, we will lose more than just our land. We lose our freedom of speech, religion, self-defense, and all other personal liberties that allow each of us to pursue our American dream. Unless we stop this agenda, we will cease to be the land of the free.”
The Food Freedom Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established to protect farm and food freedom primarily through grants for public interest litigation. FFF’s goal is to strengthen local food systems by promoting and expanding the right of consumers to obtain the food of their choice through the source of their choice. The foundation supports efforts that champion freedom of food choice, farm-to-consumer direct commerce, small farm prosperity, and local food economies. Litigation FFF has funded includes: a test case for the Maine Food Sovereignty Act and the Maine Right to Food constitutional amendment involving a home business providing meals for members of its community; a case to establish protections for homesteading families under the Michigan Right to Farm Act; and the lawsuit to stop overreach by the Texas Department of Agriculture in its enforcement of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) produce safety standards against small farms that should be exempt from FSMA’s inspection requirements. FFF has also set up a fund to support litigation to overturn USDA’s mandatory electronic ID (EID) requirement for cattle and bison—a regulation that threatens to vertically integrate the cattle industry and drive small farmers and ranchers out of business.
On behalf of the entire team at the Solari Report, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous and Happy New Year!
The Solari Team
