VICTORY PROCLAMATION PREMATURE- S.3002 NOT DEAD YET!! MORE WORK NEEDED TO KILL

When I was walking the floor at the Arnold vitamin trade show someone at a

booth showed me a CNN article on his Blackberry that said McCain had

" withdrawn " S.3002. Then I saw this Wall Street Journal article which said the

same thing:

McCain Move Bolsters Vitamin Makers

NEW YORK & shy; A few publicly traded companies in the dietary supplement

space saw stock prices rise on Monday, after Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) withdrew

his support of the Dietary Supplement Safety Act, Dow Jones reported on

_The Wall Street Journal_ (http://online.wsj.com/) . McCain’s bill would

have made major regulatory overhauls to the current federal oversight of the

dietary supplement industry.

 

 

“It looks like it will be an easier world to be in the dietary supplement

business,†Avondale analyst Bret Jordan told Dow Jones’ Shara Tibken.

“The

bill would have significantly tightened regulatory requirements.â€

 

 

Tibken reported Nu Skin Enterprises Inc. (NUS) and Medifast Inc. (MED)

were both up; however, Herbalife Ltd. (HLF) and Usana Health Sciences (USNA)

were slightly down, which led Wedbush Morgan analyst Rommel Dionisio to

comment to Tibken, “It’s not really affecting anybody else, and that’s

news

that would lift them all. There are companies with much greater exposure to

the U.S. business than Nu Skin.â€

 

 

Turns out these articles were not correct. _In this letter from Senator

Hatch to Senator McCain_

(http://www.crnusa.org/DSSAFacts/hatch_mccain_s3002_letter.pdf) we see that

McCain has agreed to make changes to S.3002 that

Hatch wants, but we haven't been able to see what those are yet, and we

also see that the bill has not been listed as having been " withdrawn " on the

_Thomas Legislative Database_ (http://thomas.loc.gov/) so unfortunately, I

was premature in proclaiming victory- more pressure is needed to get the

bill withdrawn entirely!

 

 

Please go _here_ (http://www.lef.org/lac/) to continue flooding the

Senate with form letters against this bill. Also call your Senators office via

the Capital Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and especially call McCain's office.

Tell him you're supporting his opponent _JD Hayworth_

(http://www.jdforsenate.gov/) due to McCain's stance against dietary

supplement consumers on

this issue. Tell him you want the bill withdrawn entirely and immediately

since the FDA already has ample power under the anabolic control acts to

remove any illegal synthetic steroids from the market, its not necessary to

gut the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 in order to

protect consumers from illegal steroids, all thats necessary is for the FDA to

do their job!
