Guest guest Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Lame Duck Congress Threatening To Pass Anti-Supplement Bill Lame Duck Congress Threatening To Pass Anti-Supplement Bill It is a regrettable fact that our legal-political system is so often characterized by deception and ambush. During the heated political campaigns prior to November 7, members of Congress would not dare pass a bill that would interfere with consumers' free access to dietary supplements. Now that the election is over, there is an attempt to attach a new law onto an existing bill that would give the FDA greater powers to remove dietary supplements from the marketplace and put a heavy burden on smaller dietary supplement companies. This ominous Senate Bill-S.3546-is deceptively titled Dietary Supplement and Non-Prescription Drug Consumer Protection Act. The charade behind this title is that it would largely function to protect large pharmaceutical companies against the low cost competition they are encountering from makers of natural alternatives to their toxic drugs. As many of you know, this year's election was one of the closest on record. If the re-elected members of Congress know how outraged citizens will be if S.3546 is passed, it will almost certainly be killed. To conveniently inform your members of Congress to vote NO on S.3546 and any House companion bill, just click on the " take action now " button below. Please know that members of Congress now prefer email as the most efficient way to hear from their constituents. Life Extension has set up a super-convenient email network that enables consumers to readily identify their members of Congress and then send them prepared messages urging them to vote NO on S.3546.
