Food safety is an issue that is in the <br>back of every mother's mind as she food shops for <br>her family! The media must create news to sell <br>their media! The checkoff funds are used in the <br>medias that these customers/consumers will use to <br>provide true facts about not only safety issues <br>but also the health issues that beef can <br>contribute to.<p>The checkoff aids in educating the consumer that<br>true livestock producers are concerned about the <br>welfare of their livestock! Animal Rights groups<br>just want the turn all animals loose and let them<br>fend for themselves!<p>These "Dues" as you call them are true investments<br>into the future of the beef industry. Watch the <br>media! If it's not Checkoff Funded it's negative!<p>If we didn't have the Checkoff today , based on the<br>negative media we couldn't give beef away in the <br>stores.<p>The pro Vote group has just indicated to do away <br>with the Checkoff! If it's defeated how do we as<br>individual producers protect our investment! Each<br>night the 6 o'clock news will have another antimeat<br>story with more lies than truth and who will answer<br>them with the truth! <p>Who or how do we take up the slack if we kill it!<br>
