CAP WIZ
Tammy provided you with some great information on CAP WIZ and how useful of a tool it was during FSA Tomorrow. I feel because of bad press regarding erroneous payments and the upcoming Farm Bill deliberations, it is going to be vital that NASCOE members get involved just like they did during FSA Tomorrow, if FSA and the CO employees are going to remain an important part of the Federal Farm Program delivery system
WASCOE only has around 25% of our members signed up for CAP WIZ and we can do much better than this. It’s easy and free. Just go to www.nascoe.org and click on the CAP WIZ icon. Remember this must be done from your home computer.
You will not be snowed under with junk email or put on a mailing list. You will only receive a message that says Action Alert that asks you to take action on certain legislation. You will then go to CAP WIZ and check out the legislation that NASCOE would like you to respond to. You will be provided a statement or letter that you can send to targeted members of congress; either the Representative for your district or the Senators for Wisconsin.
Tammy provided me with a list of people that signed up for CAP WIZ using bad email addresses such as the government one or there was some other problem that prevents you from accessing CAP WIZ. Hopefully, I will be in contact these folks during the next month so we can get the corrections made and get you on the list.
The other thing to remember is that whether you are using CAP WIZ or not, NASCOE is paying for this service. Your dues help pay for this and I personally think it is well worth the investment but we need to use it to see how valuable it really can be. We have barely scratched the potential. It’s like getting a new Harley Motorcycle and letting it sit in the garage. It’s nice to say you have it but the real enjoyment is using it. If you need help signing up let me know and I will be glad to help you out.
