This >bill prohibits regulations promulgated from regulatory agencies from >going into effect unless passed into law by Congress in the way in which >the Constitution designates. Under Article I of the Constitution, the >Congress of the United States, our elected representatives, are the ones >given the exclusive power to make laws. In violation of the >non-delegation doctrine, about 90% of all law created by the federal >government is the product of unelected heads of bureaucratic agencies, >not our elected representatives. From 1934 to the present, the Congress >of the United States has delegated executive, legislative, and judicial >governing power to these agencies. The founding fathers warned that this >combination would give birth to tyranny, self-dealing, and corruption >and would be the death of liberty. Because the unelected bureaucracy >makes the laws, the nation has been transformed from a republic into a >bureaucratic oligarchy. > >Congressman Ron Paul's Congressional Responsibility and Accountability >Act restores constitutional government by returning to Congress the >responsibility to make laws, thereby making them once again accountable >for the laws to those who elect them. > >HR 3395: The Health Freedom Act. This bill removes FDA's power of prior >restraint over all nutrient-disease relationship claims. Under the bill, >the FDA may not prohibit any statement concerning a nutrient affecting a >disease (including treatment effects) from being made in the market and >may only act against a statement once made if it possesses clear and >convincing evidence that the statement is false. Presently the FDA >blocks an enormous quantity of truthful information concerning the >effects of nutrients and foods on disease from reaching consumers. That >barrier is removed by the Health Freedom Act, but the Act preserves the >power of the government to prosecute those who communicate falsehood. >The essential purpose of the First Amendment is to disarm the federal >government of the power to impose a prior restraint on speech. The FDA >has imposed a prior restraint for decades to the health detriment of the >public. Passage of the Health Freedom Act will restore constitutional >governance by reasserting the supremacy of the First Amendment over the >Food and Drug Administration. > >HR 3394: The Health Information Protection Act. This bill prevents the >Federal Trade Commission from taking action against any advertiser that >communicates a health benefit for a product unless the FTC first >establishes based on clear and convincing evidence that the statement >made is false and that its communication causes harm to the public. >Presently, the FTC reverses the Fifth Amendment burden of proof on the >government when it charges advertisers with deceptive advertising and >then demands that they prove their speech true based on >contemporaneously held documentation or be deemed to have advertised >deceptively. The Fifth Amendment requires that FTC bear the burden of >proving advertising deceptive. It may not constitutionally shift the >burden to the advertiser to prove its statements not deceptive. The >First Amendment requires that FTC not act against speech unless the >speech is probably false. It may not constitutionally accuse a party of >false advertising yet lack proof that the advertising is false and >condemn advertising based on an absence of documentation concerning the >truth of the statement rather than the presence of evidence establishing >the falsity of the statement. > >Dr. Paul's introduction of these three momentous bills offers hope to >those who presently perceive themselves as disenfranchised and seek a >return to constitutional government. > >Take action now!: ><http://www.lef.org/featured-articles/Health-Government-Reform-Bills-by-Ron-Pau\ l.htm>http://www.lef.org/featured-articles/Health-Government-Reform-Bills-by-Ron\ -Paul.htm > >__ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
