Protect Your Access to Health Information: Contact Your Congressman Today
On May 12, 2005, Congressman Ron Paul (14th District -- Texas) introduced the Consumers Access to Health Information Act (Bill 2352). The purpose of the bill is to ensure that "consumers can receive truthful information about how foods and dietary supplements can cure, mitigate, and prevent specific diseases."
Simply put, this bill will restore consumer access to information about the benefits of nutritional supplements, a right guaranteed under the First Amendment.
Why Do We Need This Legislation? We need this legislation because the FDA has been trampling on our constitutional rights for decades. This rogue agency illegally prohibits manufacturers of food and dietary supplements from giving accurate information about their products' health benefits.
At present, manufacturers must go through the FDA's long and costly drug approval process in order to provide such information. As a result, information on safe, inexpensive nutritional supplements that could improve the health and even save the lives of millions of Americans is just not getting out.
This Bill Is About Health -- and Freedom Congressman Paul of Texas is the premier advocate for liberty in politics today. Not only that, he is a physician serving in Congress. He never votes for legislation unless it is expressly authorized by the U.S. Constitution. In other words, he is a big believer in people's individual freedoms.
"Thanks to the FDA," states Congressman Paul, "the American public is prevented from learning about possible ways to prevent cancer, Alzheimer's, high blood pressure, urinary tract infection, and numerous other diseases.
"At a time when health care costs are rising, it is absurd for the federal government to prevent Americans from learning how they can increase their chances of staying healthy". However, this bill is about more than physical health; it is about freedom."
How You Can Help You can help by contacting your Congressmen and urging them to support Consumers Access to Health Information Act (Bill 2352). To talk to or fax your representative, call the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. (Check your telephone book for local office numbers.)
