Patrick Fiedler, the now notorious judge who ruled on September 9, 2011 that Wisconsin dairy owners have no fundamental right to drink milk from their own cows and that people do not have a fundamental right to consume the food of their choice has suddenly resigned from the bench.
Instead of slithering away in shame never to be seen in public again, however, he has not so shockingly reemerged as the recently hired attorney of the Axley Brynelson law firm which defends Monsanto against numerous criminal complaints from across the globe including patent infringement.
Could it be that the Wisconsin Judicial Commission which has been inundated with formal complaints about Judge Fiedler in recent weeks allowed him to resign and save face with no investigation into his lack of judicial professionalism?
For shame if this is the case!
I will remain optimistic that even with Judge Fiedler’s resignation, the Wisconsin Judicial Commission will still pursue an investigation. Disbarment would not be too severe a punishment given the circumstances of this case.
If you wish to contact the Wisconsin Judicial Commission and insist that Judge Fiedler face the music despite his resignation, you may contact them at (608) 266-7637.
But let’s not end this post in a negative light that leaves you feeling discouraged about the progress of the Real Food Civil Rights Movement.
There is another story to be told. A story not about a judge with no scruples but about a farmer with astonishing courage.
Canadian Raw Milk Farmer in Third Week of Hunger Strike
Michael Schmidt, Canadian raw milk activist, farmer and fellow Weston A. Price Foundation Board Member, is currently in his third week of a hunger strike that was initiated shortly after a September 28, 2011 appellate ruling which overturned the previous court decision that he did indeed have a legal right to provide cowshare owners with raw milk.
This most recent ruling also convicts Michael on 15 of 19 charges and reverses the lower court’s decision to acquit him.
Michael is requesting that everyone in support of the Right To Choose Healthy Food organize to a higher level and do the following:

“No Food Choice” Judge Lands Job with Monsanto Law Firm http://t.co/HcJi6Yi5 #OccupyWallStreet #OccupyDinner #OccupyMonsanto
Oh, my goodness! That is absolutely ridiculous!
I will be signing the petition.
Clearly the man was born without a frontal lobe.
.. and has found his real home at Monsanto.

U.S. judges and politicians are bought and paid for. It’s in your face people! http://t.co/H3rf1I3f via: @StopRickPerry2
Thank you so much Sarah for bringing the plight of Michael Schmidt in Ontario to your readers! He is the only access we have in Toronto and GTA to raw milk and it is a travesty of justice to say the least.
I am hoping the readers of this blog FLOOD the Premier’s email inbox and the fax machine breaks from all the letters coming in. He will have no choice than to meet with Michael. Michael is needed here – not in heaven just yet!
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist\’s last post: “No Food Choice” Judge Lands Job with Monsanto Law Firm
Amen!
Will the corruption never end? This man needs to be disbarred.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. We have a cowshare and are very happy with the raw milk we get for our family. I don’t want anyone messing with it.
Heading home to the mothership…

It just shows the revolving door policy of Monsanto AND the government in action. No doubt they probably promised this judge a very lucrative career that will end up at the doors of the FDA someday, since most of Monsanto already is positioned in there!

Just signed the petition. 272 signatures needed. Thank you so much for posting this! We should decide if we want to drink raw milk, not the government. Thank you!
MAKE SURE YOU SEND AN EMAIL LETTER TO THE CANADIAN PREMIER TO REQUEST THAT HE MEET WITH MICHAEL SCHMIDT!
This is VERY IMPORTANT!

Signed the petition yesterday and wrote Premier Dalton McGuinty today. Found a source for raw milk! Yum!
It’s not too surprising that he is now with Monsanto. They pretty much buy out all of the politicians and those in high power. It’s pretty nasty. As consumers we need to stand up against this with our actions and not supporting these big companies and corporations.

If we want to defeat Big Agra, Big Food and Big Government, we should better monitor where our food dollars go. We could literally transform our local grocery stores into produce stands.

I signed the petition (only 86 more needed) and also sent an email to the premier on Michael’s behalf.

Darn! I was going to be #5000, but the registration form goofed up. Oh well, I’m 5001.

Just sent the email as well.
Sarah, I know you said not to be discouraged but I am. Our govt officials do not care about what is right. They are in bed with Monsanto and other big corporations. This is why our rights are being trampled all over the place. I did sign the petition. I keep hoping something will change. I have to say there is no one I want to vote for in 2012.
If Ron Paul isn’t your man, then I’m guessing no one interested in politics would ever please you.

Linda, I understand where you are coming from but we cannot afford to become discouraged. We must press on. If not for ourselves, then for our children and our grandchildren.

Sarah,
Perhaps you seen this, if not it’s worth checking out.
