>CONGRESSMAN RON PAUL INTRODUCES 3 BILLS TO RESTORE CONSTITUTIONAL

>GOVERNMENT; END FDA CENSORSHIP OF HEALTH CLAIMS; AND END FTC CENSORSHIP

>OF HEALTH INFORMATION

>

>Washington, D.C.: Today on the floor of the House of Representatives,

>Congressman Ron Paul introduced three bills that would restore

>constitutional government; end FDA censorship of health claims; and end

>FTC censorship of health information.

>

>HR 3396: The Congressional Responsibility and Accountability Act. 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!:
