Joel Salatin is an extremely popular figure in the food freedom movement. He has written several books on small time organic (natural) farming, made many appearances on food documentaries, etc.
He has also written some books on government intervention, and how corrupt it is, in the food industry. (his book "Everything I want to do is illegal" is a great read according to my sister).

I recently sat down to write him a letter asking for him to endorse Ron Paul. Before I sent it I did a quick google search and found out he already had.

I'm having an extremely hard time finding info on this though ... when? Where? Tube?
He has huge influence on the green movement, natural food movement, small farmers, etc. and is a very successful and well respected farmer in Virgina (yep, recently became a pretty important state in this particular race!)

If anyone has info on this please post it. Thanks.
I'll try google a few more times.

It's also a great read according to me :D Seriously, it's amazing that his farm has survived after everything the government has done to him.

But yeah, I can't find any source other than the David Kretzmann article.

I would write him anyway under the assumption that he hasn't and then if he did he may respond with some good info or REENDORSE him Publicly & if he hasn't then maybe he will.....Can't hurt

Perhaps this approach by members here went full circle. He may have been swayed by information from this thread here at RPForums......
