Guest guest Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Please see below and thanks for your help ! Please call ASAP to prevent this from going into the House. All the best - Please take 2 minutes to help with this. If this bill is passed you would be severely limited to only seeing registered dieticians for your nutritional purposes and supplement recommendations. Many people such as homeopaths, Naturopaths, herbalists, etc would NOT be able to provide any advice any more if these bills are passed - thank you very much. Please call (512-463-0112) ASAP - Phyllis Shaw Colleagues and Friends, The two Senate Bills, 989 and 1209, are currently before the Senate Health and Human Services Committee. They both seek to mandate licensure of nutritional counseling in the state of Texas and outlaw any naturopath or unlicensed nutritional counselor from offering advice to any citizen for compensation. They are supported by powerful special interests. At the advice of a leading national health freedom advocate, we are attempting to convince the Chairman of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, Sen. Jane Nelson, to not bring these bills to a hearing. The best way to do that is to call her number (512-463-0112) and express your and your family's opposition to these deeply flawed bills. This tactic apparently worked when we used it with the House Public Health Committee Chair, it can work again. When you contact her office, ask for the staffer who handles health issues. Suggested wording is as follows: " Hello, my name is ________ . I am calling to express my and my family's oppositon to Senate Bills 989 and 1209. I believe they are bad deal for health freedom for all Texans. Please ask Senator Nelson to NOT allow these bills to be heard before the committee, and to ask her fellow committee members to not support either bill. " Expect to be asked for your contact information (i.e., address or phone number). PLEASE help us defeat these bills! Nothing less than our collective right to choose who we see for health advice is at stake. Thanks for your support. Peter M. McCarthy, N.D.
