HR Bill 2900 - Action Needed by Concerned Citizens - Two notices

July 10, 2007

(Two important messages about the same issue arrived this evening. If these were not important, I would not post it, but the issue is vital - Tony)First Message:HR 2900 is the companion bill to S.1082,

the FDA Reform bill. HR 2900 has been put on the Suspension Calendar

which means that as things stand right now, they plan on not allowing

ANY DEBATE, or ANY AMENDMENTS, they plan on only allowing it to be

voted on as it stands right now, and that is NOT GOOD!

Its not good for all the reasons listed by Byron Richards in his

articles about the Reagan Udall Foundation for the FDA, there is

language that we need to change or the FDA will be able to attack any

dietary supplement using their Critical Path initiative the same way

they fraudulently removed Ephedra from the market.

WHAT WE MUST DO RIGHT AWAY:

We must call the House leadership with the following message:

"Please remove HR 2900 from the Suspension Calendar so that it can be

brought up under a regular order so it can be properly debated and so

that amendments can be made! As it stands, S.1082/ HR 2900 threatens to

block consumer access to dietary supplements, and Congressman Paul

would like to be able to propose an amendment.

This isn't my opinion, its the opinion of attorney Jonathan Emord, who

has done more to defend the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act

than any other attorney. To learn more see his article in News With

Views titled "How the FDA is Becoming a Drug Company" Unless changes

are made to the bill language, nothing will stop the FDA from using the

Critical Path Initiative to ban safe dietary supplements via fraudulent

means, the same way they banned Ephedra"

jham 800-333-2553 N.America 360-945-0352 WorldSecond Message:Health freedom alert for U.S. citizens:

This is an urgent health freedom alert from NewsTarget. The deadline is

tight: A vote is scheduled on the House floor on Tuesday, July 10th, to

pass HR 2900 while blocking all amendments and debate. This would

disallow the pro-health freedom Emord amendments which Rep. Ron Paul is

ready to introduce on the floor. But thanks to Majority leader Nancy

Pelosi, who has placed HR 2900 on a "Suspension Calendar" status, no

debate or amendments will be allowed.

This may be a strategy by Pelosi to disallow pro-Pharma amendments from

various congressional Republicans who want to water down the language,

but it also has the side effect of sidelining important health freedom

amendments that did not make it into the Senate version of the bill.

HR 2900 is the mirror image of Senate Bill 1082 that claimed to reform

the FDA but mostly gave the agency more money and power, even creating

a new entity (Reagan-Udall) that squarely puts FDA leaders in the drug

business. Health freedom advocates fought hard to amend S 1082 in a way

that would protect nutritional supplements from FDA tyranny while

banning television advertising for new drugs, but the deep pockets won

out and the U.S. senate kowtowed to Big Pharma and passed the bill that

drug companies preferred.

Now the House is about to pass its version of the bill, which would

place this legislation one step closer to being signed into law by our

corrupt pro-Pharma president, who has yet to sign a single bill that

actually delivered better quality (or more affordable) health care to

anyone.

ACTION NEEDED

We need to flood the office of Nancy Pelosi with phone calls, urging her to allow debate and amendments on HR 2900.

You may call her office at (202) 225-4965 or email her at: AmericanVoices

You will be transferred to voice mail where you can leave a message.

Urge Rep. Pelosi to allow debate and amendments on HR 2900 by removing

it from the Suspension Calendar. This will allow the bill to be brought

up under a regular order, which will give Congressman Ron Paul the

opportunity to offer amendments that will help support health freedom

(among other things).

If you want to live in a country where you retain free access to

dietary supplements, please take action now to help move HR 2900 into a

status allowing debate and amendments. You must call today, tonight or

early tomorrow morning (Tuesday morning).

You may also contact Reps. Hoyer, Bonner, and Blunt by calling them through the Capital Switchboard: 202-225-3121

Urge them to support the same thing. Please also contact your own

congressperson and urge them to support open debate and amendments on

HR 2900.

This action is supported by many leaders and groups in the health

freedom movement, even those that don't normally agree with each other.

It is easy to see that HR 2900 stands as a serious threat to health

freedom, and we cannot afford to miss this opportunity to introduce

meaningful amendments to the legislation.

I have already called Pelosi's office and left a comment, and I will be calling my local congresswoman after posting this.
