Urgent news from John Hammell about protecting dietary

supplements in the US...

 

Emergency Action Needed Immediately: Companion Bill to S.1082

To Be on House Floor Tomorrow - Wednesday - Without Debate

 

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!

 

The Senate version of this bill (S.1082) has already passed,

and unless we can get an amendment into this bill, the FDA will

be able to attack safe dietary supplements at will using the

Critical Path initiative as a weapon. For a full understanding

and to send an email to your congressman with one mouse click

go to: http://www.wellnessresources.com/health_freedom.php

 

Byron Richards lists all the reasons in his articles about the

Reagan Udall Foundation for the FDA. If the language is not

changed, 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. The only

way it can be properly debated is if it is brought up under a

regular order. 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 "

WHO TO CONTACT WITH THIS URGENT MESSAGE:

 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office in DC is: (202) 225-4965

Email her at: AmericanVoices

 

 

CALLS TO MAKE AND WHAT TO SAY:

 

1. We need to flood the office of Nancy Pelosi with phone

calls, urging her to allow debate and amendments on HR 2900

(and if its not removed from the suspension calendar urge

Pelosi, and all other congressmen to vote NO on this bill! (If

they ask if you're a constituent, tell them you're an American

citizen, she's the speaker of the House, you're extremely

concerned about what's happening with HR 2900 and your input is

important. Do the same with the others in the House leadership

if you're not a constituent, because they've been arrogantly

hanging up on people.

 

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 Wednesday morning.

 

Also contact: Hoyer, Bonner, and Blunt's offices by calling

them through the Capital Switchboard at 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. Tell them that Congressman Paul is being

blocked from proposing an amendment to this bill that dietary

supplement consumers need.

 

Tell them the amendment was written by attorney Jonathan Emord

who has done more to defend the Dietary Supplement Health and

Education Act than any attorney in the country and that you

will be enraged if this bill is pushed through under suspension

without any amendments being allowed. If its not removed from

the Suspension Calendar, you want them to vote NO on it!

see sample letter:

 

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

amendments can be made. As it stands S.1082/HR.2900 poses a

significant threat to natural health options and allows the FDA

unprecedented new regulatory power thorough the Reagan-Udall

Foundation for the FDA. It enables the FDA to brand dietary

supplements as unsafe based on drug-related risk benefit analysis,

when in fact such dietary supplements are safe at the commonly

consumed doses as instructed in the labeling. Certainly you are not

intending to give the FDA the power, based on FDA opinion, to deny

consumers access to dietary supplements that over 150 million

Americans rely on for health. HR.2900 must be amended to prevent

this flagrant abuse of power.
