Three for Liberty Campaign: We Have Three Weeks Before Congress Reconvenes!
The Natural Solutions Foundation Has Identified 3 Key Issues Impacting Our Liberty.
Here’s what you can help us accomplish:
1) Protect our right to Self-Shield – NOT be required by laws already in place to take the “swine flu” jab.
2) Reverse the FDA/FTC violation of our right to learn and share the benefits of supplements and herbs.
3) STOP the enactment of (sic) “Food Safety” bill, HR 2749, which allows the FDA to declare martial law, invade your home, degrade your food supply and forbid you to save seeds or grow clean, wholesome foods.”

During the next three weeks, while:
* Congress is on its August Recess and you can easily visit your Congressmen and women in their home districts to explain why you want the right to self shield, rather than be forced to take a vaccine or be incarcerated
* The dangerous Swine Flu vaccine is being tested on children and pregnant women* NOT for safety, but for dosage, and has not yet been deployed on a mandatory basis
* The Senate has not yet voted on the total give-away of our food supply to the very forces that are killing us with dangerous and unsafe food, Agribiz
* Every Member of Congress can be educated about the importance of HR 3394 and 3395 in protecting both our health, our health freedom and our Constitutional right to free speech
Right now, you have an outstanding opportunity to act decisively and powerfully to speak for Liberty, and protect her – and yourself. The next three weeks, while Congress is on recess, can be the time when we, the net roots of health freedom, act in such compelling numbers that we do, indeed, protect our health and our freedom from the forces that are trying to overwhelm both of them.
* Vaccine “testing” began yesterday at St. Louis University although the FDA said on July 23, 2009 that it would approve the Swine Flu vaccine for general use BEFORE safety tests were completed – and this for a disease which is “less severe than the seasonal flu.”
Reality check: while you are being reassured that vaccination will be voluntary, two facts bear recalling:
1. As we have previously documented, in 2005 the World Health Organization gave itself the authority to dissolve sovereign governments and take control should there be a “pandemic”. That determination did not stipulate a real pandemic, any pandemic will do.
That declaration states, ” Under special pandemic plans enacted around the world including the USA, in 2005, national governments are to be dissolved in the event of a pandemic emergency and replaced by special crisis committees, which take charge of the health and security infrastructure of a country, and which are answerable to the WHO and EU in Europe and to the WHO and UN in North America.”
This suggests very strongly that the faux pandemic was orchestrated disease or no disease and therefore represents a serious threat to liberty as well as to the social order.
2. Although HHS Secretary Sibelius, Dr. Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and other government officials repeated on CSPAN today that there will be no forced flu vaccinations, the situation is a bit more complex: If Pandemic Emergency powers are invoked, you could be given the “choice” to accept a flu shot or not. If you do, whatever the consequences are, you can sue no one, and no one is liable for your damages (or death). If you “choose” not to accept the “voluntary” flu shot, you will very likely then be faced with incarceration/quarantine/detention.
Despite the legalism, I would call that mandatory vaccination, wouldn’t you?
You Are the Key.
You Decide to Mobilize All of Your Contacts on These Three Key Issues and We Are Unstoppable
The Issues:
1. Swine Flu Vaccination: Big Pharma wants you vaccinated. The US government wants you vaccinated. Baxter, Novartis, Glaxo-Smith Kline, and Sanofi Pasteur executives are members of the advisory group that on July 13th recommended mandatory H1N1 vaccination of everyone in all 194 countries that belong to the WHO.
The plans for the final globalization of the planet needs you to be vaccinated.*
You, of course, do not need to be vaccinated for a trivial disease which has been inflated into a Level 6 Pandemic by the agency which can then take command of the political power of the world.
But here in the US, you have already sent 1.3 MILLION emails to Congress, State Legislators, Governors, Secretary Sibelius of HHS, Secretary Napolitano of DHS and the White House demanding the right to self shield.
Think for a moment what actually happens if, in addition to submitting an email for each member of your family, you mobilize your circle of influence to do the same, and they spread this populist demand further still? What happens is that we get what we demand: the right to NOT take a vaccine for Swine Flu if we don’t want it AND the right not to be incarcerated if we reject the vaccine.
*”USNORTHCOM is the global synchronizer – the global coordinator – for pandemic influenza across the combatant commands” Brig. Gen. Robert Felderman, deputy director of USNORTHCOM’s Plans, Policy and Strategy Directorate: (See Gail Braymen, USNORTHCOM contributes pandemic flu contingency planning expertise to trilateral workshop, USNORTHCOM, April 14, 2008, Also see USNORTHCOM. Pandemic Influenza Chain Training (pdf) (Chossudovsky, 2009)
2. End FDA/FTC Gag Rule on Health and Food: Dr. Ron Paul has given us two new bills that go to the heart of the FDA/FTC violation of our right to learn, and to share, what benefits food components like supplements and herbs can give us.
These bills need to be supported by asking your members of Congress to become co-sponsors and return our Constitutional Rights to us.
3. Prevent Total Industrialization of US Food Supply: The House has passed HR 2749, which allows the corrupt and deadly FDA to declare martial law, invade your home, degrade your food supply and forbid you to save seeds or grow clean, wholesome foods.
For more reasons to oppose HR 2749, see: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3289
We know these outcomes are important to you. The Natural Solutions Foundation has prepared 3 helpful Resource Documents at http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3241to serve as talking point papers when you visit your Congressmen and women during the recess, to share with those whom you are mobilizing, to serve as information points for letters to the editor, to share with the people who shop in your health food store, etc.

Share These Three Health Store Leaflets for Three Weeks to Save Health Freedom
As Mark Twain is alleged to have opined, “No Man’s Life Liberty or Property is Safe…While the Legislature is in Session” – and certainly no person’s health freedom and food freedom are safe either. Well, Congress is not in session at the moment, and we have about three weeks to educate our representatives while they are home. And as you may have noticed in the media, they are hearing these freedom truths from their constituents!
Please attend any “town hall meetings” held by your representatives and let them know that your personal health freedom is as important an issue the “health care” debate, which is really mostly about who will pay for conventional medical treatment, and how will it be rationed. To the contrary, we’re concerned about Natural Solutions, so we need to concentrate on protecting people from toxic drugs (including vaccines) and from toxic foods as well. Our agenda is not the same as the agenda being portrayed on the mass media. The 3 Leaflets have bullet point information for you to use in educating your representatives about our Health Freedom Agenda.
Thus, the focus of our Three for Liberty Campaign, http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3209, our Three Weeks Campaign, needs to be educating decision makers, but also educating the concerned public – people who “get it” and understand that Health Freedom is Our First Freedom and people who CAN “get it” if you help them in that process. Therefore, we invite you to help us, by printing the three Health Food Store Leaflets attached to this blog entry and posting them at your local health food store, food co-op or similar commercial or public venue and posting them. Please print and copy as many as you can. Please re-post them on the Internet. We need to make these posters GO VIRAL!

Gag Rule on Swine Flu options is a perfect example of FDA violation of our rights. I am not allowed to tell you that Nano silver, Vitamin C, MSM, and other immune boosters and enhances are good for dealing with Swine Flu and coming out the other side of it, quite literally.
www.Nutronix.com/naturalsolutions
You probably know that the FDA currently literally forbids telling you truthfully that anything other than vaccines and Tamiflu or Relenza can “treat” the Swine flu. That type of gag regulation is exactly what Ron Paul’s two bills are designed to eliminate. But until they do, all I can do is tell you that IF I could exercise my First Amendment rights as a free American, I would tell you about the fantastic effectiveness and safety record of nano silver and colloidal silver in dealing with all pathogens.
Meanwhile, it is clear that the forces arrayed against our health freedom will not rest until they either destroy those freedoms or we win this enormous war.
Of course you know where you can obtain the same Silver Solution we use, and help the Foundation at the same time:

Three weeks to save food AND freedom
Action eAlert: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3230
08/08/09 Update: 3 Leaflets for the Three Weeks to Save Health Freedom Campaign
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3241
1. The House of “Representatives” passes draconian (sic) food safety bill…
Take Action Here: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714
2. And mass forced vaccination comes closer…
Take Action here: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27275
3. BUT… Dr. Ron Paul offers a prescription to Congress: two new bills, HR 3394 and 3395 – regulate the regulators and promote Free Health Speech!
Take Action here: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27732
Note: the first two Action Items have been revised. If you submitted them before, along with one for each member of your family or household, we urge you to do so again since, once revised, they count as new items. These actions could save your life, assuming we all act together to speak the power of our collective truth to legislative power.
Are you the one? Are you the one person who makes the difference? Are you the one person who alerts your neighbors like Paul Revere and defeats the forces threatening our lives, our liberty and our sacred honor?
If you are, then you are mounted up and ready to ride – only this time, it’s a freedom mouse that will carry your message to your neighbors and to the heavens because we need both your neighbors and the support of the Universe to make sure that our cause, our just cause, survives.
We are talking about literal survival here: if our food is poisoned we will not survive. If our bodies are poisoned, we will not survive.
We just lost the first part of the last stand for food freedom: The House passed HR 2749, a bill that combines the worst of all of the bad food “safety” bills that were before the Congress. Although it was removed from the voting docket on Tuesday, and defeated on Wednesday, on Black Thursday, July 30, it passed the House of Representatives.
In 3 weeks, the Senate has a chance to vote on this atrocity, which completes the industrialization of America’s food, from sea to contaminated sea.
Twisting the House of Representative’s Rules to prevent meaningful debate, the governing party adopted the martial law (sic) “food safety” bill, HS 2749.
You can read the final bill at:
http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=111_cong_bills&docid=f:h2749rh.txt.pdf
Congress will be in recess for about three weeks; after that the Senate will take up the bill. We must flood the Senate with so many emails, and visit sitting Senators in their home offices during the August recess in such enormous numbers that they back off. If we make it strong enough, our Push Back WILL work. But that takes you being the one to push!
We have three weeks to assert our 2009 Legislative Educational Agenda.
Printable Leaflets: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3241
Read more about Dr. Ron Paul’s two Health Freedom bills: http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3226
We have much to do to and little time; but we know PUSH BACK WORKS and even the horrid Food Fascism bill now contains language somewhat protective of some local food solutions. Not enough! But this is a start and we can finish this process in the Senate. Thousands have joined the Health Freedom Action eAlert in the past few days. Now it’s time to act!
Repeat: We have 3 short weeks to add to the more than 1 million emails which the Natural Solutions Foundation has already sent to your Congressmen and women, The Secretaries of Health and Human Services, USDA and Homeland Security and the White House. 1 Million emails is a good start, but obviously not enough.
We need 10 million emails. Please go to http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27134, fill out the revised action item even if you did so before. Then fill it out again for EACH member of your family or household. Then go the next step and send a brief one or two line email with that same link to everyone you know who eats.
Leave out anyone who does not consume food… ;)
Explain something like “Please take a moment to click on the link I am sending to you in order to deluge Congress and other Federal decision makers with our opposition to the industrialization of the US food supply. Under the bill which the House has just passed, FDA would have the power to declare marshal law if any food contamination occurred in the US, seize cars and other property, invade home kitchens to demand recourse on chain-of-custody, cold storage and other absurdities, forbid private farmers to save seeds without million dollar facilities, and on and on. Small farmers will be driven out of business through extreme costs and draconian penalties for record keeping failures of half a million dollars or more and jail time up to 8 years for a first infraction!”
We cannot let this happen. Please fill out the form once for each member of your family and household and then forward this email and link to everyone on your email list.
Here is the First Strike for Liberty Food Freedom Action Item Link:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27134
Through the power of multiplication of effort, we can generate the necessary fire storm of protest to stop this insanity.
The second strike for liberty and freedom requires the identical action: go to this link:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27275
Submit an email for each member of your family or household and then share it with everyone you know. This link is a little different than the other one you just completed, however.
The previous one opposed a law. This one demands a law: a law that says that you have the right, which you do not have now, to refuse a pandemic vaccine without risking incarceration or involuntary quarantine.
Right now, that is the case: both the state and federal law makers have set things up so that if you are offered a vaccine in a declared pandemic emergency such as the one we are in right now [Swine Flu], refusing that vaccine is your right, but the consequences will be either quarantine or incarceration, which are really the same thing. We want to protect your right to Self-Shield instead of accepting the jab.
Further, the CDC will have, under a law pending before Congress, the right to send teams to your door with the authority to vaccinate you and everyone else in the household whether you want to be vaccinated or not.
Forget about the fact that vaccines are, in my opinion, without scientific or medical merit. Even if you agree with vaccination for yourself and your children, I doubt very much that you agree with forced vaccination. You probably believe, as I do, that vaccination, like any other medical procedure, should be voluntary, must be voluntary, may not be compulsory for any reason. That has been the law in civilized nations since the defeat of the Nazis.
Yet your State and Federal Governments see things differently. Based on an outdated, hundred year-old case (Jacobson v Massachusetts) they erroneously believe they have authority to do with us whatever they want, so long as they concoct an “emergency.”
So I urge you to send another email to those same people saying something like,
“Please go to the link below and submit an email for each member of your family or household on a matter or great seriousness: forced vaccination with a vaccine for a disease which has failed to produce a pandemic, but which is being used as a way to make huge amounts of money for vaccine makers (who have been relieved of all liability for any harm their vaccine does!) and very possibly to introduce serious or even deadly, but highly profitable) diseases into an unsuspecting populace.”
These vaccines will be approved before any safety testing has been completed and will be used first, without any safety data, on pregnant women, children, those with chronic illness and on first responders.
No responsible government would engage in such reckless, uninsurable vaccination unless they did not care about the consequences.
Please take a moment to submit these emails demanding the right to remain at home in the event of a pandemic instead of accepting either vaccination or quarantine and then forward this email to everyone you know.
The Third Step of our Three for Liberty is to urge your Congressional representatives to support Dr. Paul’s Health Freedom Free Speech bills.
Take Action here: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27732
We are asking for your active assistance in preserving life, liberty and the ability to be healthy enough to pursue happiness. We need your help to keep on providing these campaigns.

PS – Our Counsel Ralph Fucetola JD just read through the 134 page Food Fascism bill which the House just passed and found these exemptions (and one interesting paragraph about HARMonization!)
Thus, this horrific bill has one slightly bright spot and you helped to put it there. The farm to consumer exemption listed below was added because our more than 630,000 emails demanding protection for small farmers tied the bill up in committee. To get it out to the House floor for a vote, the Section 107 exemptions had to be added. It is not what we want, but some protection, after all.
So thank you for that. Now, let’s pour on the steam and get what we really want: the defeat of this bill in the Senate.
Exemptions and Requirements of Food Safety Bill – HR 2749
Sec 5 – Meat, poultry & eggs regulated by USDA – exempt
Sec 6 – distilled spirits, wine & beer – exempt
Sec 743 – Max registration fee is $175,000.00 [Easy for Big Ag Biz; hard for anyone else. REL]
Sec 418A – “INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS.—In issuing guidance or regulations under subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall review inter national hazard analysis and preventive control standards that are in existence on the date of the enactment of this Act and relevant to such guide-lines or regulations to ensure that the programs under sections 418 and 418A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (as added by
paragraph (2)) are consistent, to the extent the Secretary determines practicable and appropriate, with such standards.” [This is the HARMonization clause – note: it only applies to existing Codex standards. rf]
Rules phased in over 3 years
Page 116 – Registration of Importers
EXEMPTIONS.—The Secretary, by notice published in the Federal Register—
(A) shall establish an exemption from the requirements of this subsection for
importations for personal use.
Sec 107 (page 57)
EXEMPTIONS.—
(A) DIRECT SALES BY FARMS.—Food is
exempt from the requirements of this subsection if such food is—
(i) produced on a farm or fishery (including
an oyster bed, a wild fishery, an
aquaculture facility, a fresh water fishery,
and a saltwater fishery); and
(ii) sold by the owner, operator, or
agent in charge of such farm or fishery
directly to a consumer or to a restaurant or
grocery store.
(B) OTHER FOODS.—The Secretary may
by notice in the Federal Register exempt a food
or a type of facility, farm, or restaurant from,
or modify the requirements with respect to, the
requirements of this subsection if the Secretary
determines that a tracing system for such food or
type of facility, farm, or restaurant is not
necessary to protect the public health.

Health and Freedom Supporters send 636,516 emails to Congress to stop fake “Food Safety” bill (H.R. 2749). Ron Paul’s office says vote is near.
For Immediate Release:
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 28, 2009 —
Over a Half Million eMails say “NO!” to Fake Food Safety Bill – HR 2749
“Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009” a Threat to Food AND Freedom!
Congress is set to deliver a huge blow to local food production and safety by giving Big Agra interests exactly what they want: the industrialization of all food production in the US — forcing family farms, natural, successful home gardeners and other local food sources to meet Agra-Biz industrial standards or go out of business. H.R. 2749 — the (sic) “Food Safety Enhancement Act of 2009” has been “fast tracked” and is heading to a vote this week under a Suspension of Rules that will allow no amendments and a total of 40 minutes debate. The latest report we’ve had indicates the bill was removed from the voting agenda today: rumors suggest that continued strong public opposition may force the bill back to committee for further amendment.
The Natural Solutions Foundation, www.HealthFreedomUSA.org, concerned by Codex Alimentarius’ US-led industrialization and global degradation of the food supply, noted with alarm the introduction of bills to do the same thing here in the US. While the public was distracted by the economic collapse and the non-lethal Swine Flu “Pandemic Emergency” and the threat of mandatory vaccination with the weaponized Swine Flu vaccine, Congress was planning its own surprise: the forced-industrialization-of-farming bills, such as HR 875 & 759, were replaced by a new “fast-tracked” (sic) “Food Safety” bill – HR 2749 – that threatens food, health and freedom. Since it gives the FDA power to declare marshal law in the face of food contamination in the US, it is, in reality, a “martial law food control bill” — see: http://farmwars.info/?p=1145
Small farms, organic production, biodynamic operations and home farmers who share their food will be required to comply with standards which they cannot afford, like seed sorting plants running to more than a million dollars for each species of seed when no threat has ever been posed by simple hand sorting devices. All food preparation and storage facilities, including home kitchens, could be entered without a warrant for inspection of records – which no home keeps. Ultimately, the only acceptable food would be prepared, industrialized and industry-controlled food. Codex standards and guidelines would govern all agricultural production, driving non-chemical operations out of business.
Today, recognizing the importance of push back and citizen involvement in the legislative process, Rep. Ron Paul, responding to the 600,000+ emails supporters of health freedom have sent to Congress demanding protection for organic farming and food freedom, urged, through his Legislative Aide, that the Natural Solutions Foundation “Keep it up!”
Natural Solutions Foundation’s White Paper on Food Safety is here:
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2287
It includes information in support of the Action Item to tell Congress to protect both our food and our freedom at:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714
Assaults on Health Freedom have not been limited to proposed food fascism. The right to refuse vaccines is threatened under both federal and state statutes. Outraged over the impossible choice presented to the to either accept Swine Flu vaccines (without the possibility of exemptions) or face incarceration, Americans have sent over 1 million emails to decision makers demanding the right to Self Shield in the face of Pandemic Swine Flu vaccination.
The Natural Solutions Foundation’s White Paper on Self Shielding is available at:

The Action Item to demand the right to refuse vaccines/incarceration and Self Shield is available:

We thank Dr. Ron Paul (TX-R) for confirming that Push Back works!
For example, we’ve been urging Congress to defeat all fake “Food Safety” bills since they do not address the major health and environmental threats posed by huge factory farms and feed lots which threaten local production. When the Foundation created our an Action Item more than a half a million emails told federal legislators to protect family farms and ranches, organic, natural and home food production, food co-ops, community gardens, etc.
See: No HARMonization White Paper:
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2394
Our original proposed amendment:
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2246 *
And, apparently, they heard at least part of the message. Those who support HR 2749 are touting the (slight) “farmer protection” added to the bill to initially get it out of committee:
“Are Small Farms Protected?
“The legislation is doing a bunch of things for food safety, most notably giving the FDA mandatory recall authority. This has been a major sticking point for previous iterations of this legislation in the House, because House reps more than senators represent small fiefdoms inside large rural states. These districts wide recalls will disproportionately harm smaller businesses and processors versus their larger partners. In a sense, FDA recalls and fees would represent a regressive tax.
“This is an extremely valid concern given the FDA’s proclivity for influence from industry. However, this bill was able to climb out of committee in the House because it properly addressed small growers and farmers markets. Specifically, Section 107 of the bill which stipulates ‘Traceability Requirements’ on most farms makes an exemption for farmer’s markets (more or less):
‘(4) EXEMPTIONS-
‘(A) DIRECT SALES BY FARMS- Food is exempt from the requirements of this subsection if such food is-
‘(i) produced on a farm; and
‘(ii) sold by the owner, operator, or agent in charge of such farm directly to a consumer or restaurant.
“Traceability is a huge issue and this bill seeks to establish a new electronic system for tracking that will be vetted over the course of a couple years. The exemption for small farmers is good but poorly defined. We hope this vague language about exemptions gets tightened up as the bill moves forward. It would be a pity to see this single exemption allow major agribusiness farmers off the hook.”
http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/06/food-safety-enhancement-act-hr-2749/
This weak provision is not the protection we want for local food production.
But it is a start. We are concerned that the word “farm” could be construed too narrowly. What about religious communities, nonprofits, co-ops, community and family gardens that produce surpluses… Real protection is needed for local, natural production.
This is not a bill that we expect conscientious congresspeople to support, and we certainly don’t support what has been called a “martial law food control bill.”
Health Freedom advocates need to redouble our efforts to get Congress to listen!

Natural Solutions Foundation President, Maj. Gen. Bert Stubblebine (USA Ret.) stated,
“We do not need a fake food safety bill that forces the industrialization of family and natural food production while not addressing the very real safety problems caused by industrialized food production. The Foundation, as always, proposes Natural Solutions to this dilemma and urges supporters to visit our new Food Freedom eJournal at http://www.FoodFreedomeJournal.org.”

* The language was modified later, and this later language was sent to Congress many thousands of times:
“The citizens ascribing to this Petition therefore hereby request that the
Food Safety Modernization Act be defeated, or that it, or any substitute for
it, such as H.R. 759, be amended to exclude organic and natural agriculture,
family farms and ranches, and natural or organic food products, including
dietary supplements, through a rule of interpretation, as follows:
“Rule of Interpretation
“No provision of this act shall be deemed to apply (a) to any home,
home-business, homestead, small farm organic or natural agricultural activity,
(b) to any family farm or ranch, or (c) to any natural or organic food
product, including dietary supplements regulated under the Dietary Supplement
Health and Education Act of 1994.”
“We also note the language of the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 USC sec 203 (s)
(2) which provides, “(2) Any establishment that has as its only regular
employees the owner thereof or the parent, spouse, child, or other member of
the immediate family of such owner shall not be considered to be an enterprise
engaged in commerce or in the production of goods for commerce or a part of
such an enterprise…”
“Language such as this would be helpful to allay our concerns.”

HR _______
111th CONGRESS
1st Session
To amend the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act and Title 7 of the United States Code regarding harmonization of United States food regulations with international regulations or guidelines, and for other purposes.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
July _____, 2009
[Co-Sponsors]
A BILL
To amend the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act and Title 7 of the United States Code regarding harmonization of United States food regulations with international regulations or guidelines, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ‘Food Regulations No Harmonization Act” and may be referred to as the “No Harm Act.”
SEC. 2. DEFINITIONS.
1. International regulations or guidelines include the Guidelines adopted by the Codex Alimentarius or other bi-national, multinational or international bodies or agreements.
SEC. 3. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS REGARDING HARMONIZATION.
The Congress of the United States has determined:
1. The stated policy of the Food and Drug Administration of harmonization of United States food regulations with international guidelines announced in the October 11, 1995 issue of the Federal Register (60 FR 53078) should not the public policy of the United States.
2. The restrictions on harmonization of United States regulations enacted by Congress as 19 USC 3512 are insufficient to protect the interests of the United States and its citizens.
3. Codex Alimentarius guidelines are not mandatory upon the member nations and are merely “presumptive evidence” of the law to be applied in international trade disputes under the World Trade Organization, with member nations being allowed to adopt other science-based guidelines, laws and regulations.
4. Further restrictions on food regulations are required to protect the freedom of United States citizens to choose natural, unadulterated, nontoxic food products as a matter of national security, to protect the integrity of the national immune system thereby reducing the requirement for excessive medical costs secondary to food-born disease.
SEC. 4. NO HARMONIZATION WITH INTERNATIONAL OR DRUG REGULATIONS.
1. The Department of Agriculture, Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Trade Commission, the Food and Drug Administration and all other Federal agencies are directed to pursue a policy of not regulating food on the basis of harmonization with international guidelines or regulation of Dietary Ingredients. This policy includes all foods, including those offered with claims permitted under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, DSHEA. United States food regulation shall support the widest possible availability of recognized safe, high quality, high potency Dietary Ingredients and preserving to United States citizens their right to freedom of choice in health care, health care strategies and options. Organic, biodynamic and/or other non-genetically modified, non-irradiated or additive-free foods and Dietary Ingredients offered with claims to promote health, including all compounded, nutraceutical, bioidentical and functional foods, shall be included in the protections from harmonization enacted herein.
2. Neither the Food and Drug Administration, nor other department or agency of the United States, shall create a regulatory category known as “Complementary and Alternative Medicine (or Modality) Products”, or “CAM Products.” Dietary Ingredients used with informed consent by practitioners of complementary or alternative modalities shall be regulated as foods, generally recognized as safe, and not as drugs.
3. No department or agency of the United States shall issue, promote, support or permit regulations that denigrate the highest scientifically possible standards for organic foods, so that the public may be assured that, when buying foods denoted as “organic” they are buying foods that are only organic in origin and processing. Any deviation, no matter how slight, from strict organic standards must be clearly stated on the product label. These standards shall apply to organic food produced both domestically and internationally which are imported for distribution in the United States. Processes and conditions such as irradiation, gas sterilization, fumigation or other non-organic processes, which are prohibited for domestically produced organic foods shall not be permitted in foods imported into the United States and labeled or presented for sale in the United States as organic.
4. No department or agency of the United States shall issue, promote, support or permit regulations that allow irradiation of foods without that fact being prominently stated on the product label.
5. No department or agency of the United States shall issue, promote, support or permit regulations that allow Genetically Modified (GM) ingredients in foods without that fact being prominently stated on the product label. All foods which contain genetically modified (GM) ingredients or ingredients derived from genetically modified (GM) sources shall state that fact prominently on the product label.
6. No department or agency of the United States shall issue, promote, support or permit regulations that forbid purveyors of foods that are free of Genetically Modified (GM) ingredients from stating that truthful and not misleading fact on the product label.
7. All Food and Drug Administration regulations, guidances and policies that require the irradiation of food (including Dietary Supplements) or prohibit the truthful labeling of food (including Dietary Supplements) as non-irradiated, not genetically modified or toxin free are hereby repealed. This provision shall apply to imported foods as well as domestically produced foods, including Dietary Supplements.
8. Relationship of international food safety and claims agreements, including Codex Alimentarius to United States law and State law: United States law to prevail in conflict. No provision of any of international food safety and claims agreements, including Codex Alimentarius, nor the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance, that is inconsistent with any law of the United States shall have any effect. This statute may be cited as governing by any party to a dispute in any Court in the United States where such provision shall be in controversy.
9 No US agency or representative at Codex Alimentarius or other bi-national, multinational or international forum may bring forward, support or accept any standard, guideline or other international decision which conflicts with US food law or regulation, including DSHEA. US representatives must declare their opposition to, and reservations regarding, any such regulation.
10. If any international body, including Codex Alimentarius, adopts or ratifies (by vote, consensus or otherwise) a policy, guideline or standard which conflicts with US law or policy, non-adoption of which could result in World Trade Organization sanctions or trade sanctions by any other international body, the US shall take those steps necessary to adjust US law and regulation to protect it from such trade sanctions, such as adopting other science-based guidelines and laws or regulations derived therefrom, consistent with this Act.
