Your Victory

on the McCain Bill

 

We did it!

It's all thanks to the

action that you took.

Hundreds of thousands of

messages poured into the Senate opposing Senator McCain's bill, the bill that

would have wiped out current legislative protections for dietary supplements.

More and more messages were arriving by the day. The entire Congress began to

take note. Senator McCain was embarrassed by our ad whose headline pointed

out that he was misrepresenting and did not seem to understand his own bill.

Word is now racing around

Capitol Hill that Senator McCain met with Senator Orin Hatch, a champion of

natural medicine, and told him that he is withdrawing his support for the

bill he authored, the so-called Dietary Supplement Safety Act (S 3002). This

means that the bill as written is now dead.

Is this the end of the

story? No. Having given his word to a fellow senator, McCain is not likely to

resume his support for the bill. But we do need to see a declaration from

McCain himself. We will need to see if McCain will try to offer some modified

version of the bill. And there has also been no word from the other co-sponsor

of the bill, Senator Dorgan.

We will keep you posted. In

the meantime, it is time to celebrate your accomplishment. The democratic

process worked. The people spoke and a powerful senator reversed course. It

was all because of you, the active citizens willing to take time and make the

effort to defend natural and sustainable forms of health and healthcare in

the often hostile environment of Washington, DC. As we all know, Washington

is ringed today with special commercial interests. They have millions of

dollars of campaign contributions to hand out and gigantic lobbying budgets.

But in the end, politicians have to answer to the people.

Thank you!
