Senator Durbin is atempting to attach an amendment to the Defense Budget

bill today.  This is an underhanded attempt to undermine our health rights. 

 

URGENT!  The Senate could vote on this amendment as early as 5pm today!

 

Speficially, the Durbin amendment will:

 

*hold dietary supplements to a higher level of scrutiny than prescription

drugs, over-the-counter drugs and food additives

 

*undermine key elements of DSHEA and lead to reduced access to beneficial

dietary supplements.

 

URGENT ACTION REQUIRED!  Visit

<http://www.healthactioncenter.com/ctt.asp?u=1984869 & l=40342>  to send a

letter to Your Senator today.

 

Contact your Senator and tell them to oppose this Amendment because:

 

*this is an attempt to pass laws impacting the health of millions of

Americans by bypassing the regular legislative channels and the Health

Committee where these issues belong.

 

*this amendment has not had the proper consideration and is not germaine to

the Defense Authorization Bill.

 

*DSHEA gives the FDA ample authority to regulate dietary supplements.

 

Take 60 seconds to send a letter today urging your Senator to oppose Senate

Amendment 3225.
