Three Health Store / community 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 “it” from their constituents!
Please attend any “town hall meetings” held by your representatives. 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 Weeks Campaign needs to be educating decision makers, but also educating the concerned public — people who “get it.” We understand that Health Freedom is Our First Freedom. 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!

Three weeks to save food AND freedom

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.

11/18/09 Update: Marked-up bill in Senate – Even Weaker Food and Farm Protections; New Action Item

08/09/09 Update: Weeks to Save Health Freedom Campaign:
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=3262
07/30/09 – Thursday Evening Update: 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; the Senate will take up the bill at that time. We have much to do to and little time; but we know PUSH BACK WORKS and even this horrid bill now contains language somewhat protective of some natural food solutions. Not enough! But this is a start and we can finish this in the Senate. Thousands have joined the Health Freedom Action eAlert in the past few days. Now it’s time to act!
The History of the Passage of HR 2749:
08/03/09 – Message from the Trustees:
The passage of the insane Food Fascism Bill, H.R. 2749, on July 30, 2009 could be a death nell for both health and freedom if we let it.
Before we go forward, I want to thank you for generating 640,188 emails to your members of the House of Representatives, Secretary Vilsak of the USDA, Secretary Sibelius of HHS, Secretary Negreponte of DHS and President Obama protecting food and freeedom in our bid to defeat H.R. 2749.
We did accomplish several things: massive outrage at this bill made it necessary for the members of the Committee it was stuck in to insert some level of protection through traceability exemptions for small farms selling food “directly to consumers and restaurants” before the bill could get out of committee. That is something. Not enough, but something.
And our strong and continuing opposition managed to make it necessary to engage in all sorts of parliamentary hanky panky to get the bill passed since it was taken off the agenda on Tuesday, failed a vote on Wednesay and then finally passed on Thursday, July 30, 2009. But pass it did and now we have just one shot at making sure this horrific bill does NOT pass the US Senate.
Action Item http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714
has been rewritten and updated. If you submitted an action item to the House, we urge you to submit this one to the Senate, and submit one for every member of your household, as well!
07/30/09 – Thursday Morning Update: Congressman Paul’s office just emailed us that HR 2749 is back on the vote schedule today “under a rule” — that means it does not need a super majority to pass today. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR CONGRESSPEOPLE TODAY to vote “NO!”. PHONE CALLS NEEDED NOW! http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW.shtml
07/29/09 – Wednesday Evening Update: HR 2749 failed to receive the super majority needed under “suspension of rules” and did not pass today; there may be an attempt to pass it tomorrow.
Still Time To Stop the Food Fascism Bill! – HR 2749!
After sending the below eblast this morning, we had another urgent message from Dr. Ron Paul’s Legislative Aide, Normal Singleton:
“Bill back on today’s schedule”
We have learned that today, July 28th, HR 2749, the Food Fascism Bill, is up for a vote again. Your push back took it off the floor yesterday according to our information. More emails, one from every member of your household and family, are urgently needed.
Please also PHONE your congressperson’s DC office NOW!
http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW.shtml
Here is the link for the Action Item:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27134
Click on it NOW, fill it in for every member of your family and then contact everyone you can reach to do the same. Even if you’ve done it before, do it again!
Your health, your life, your food depend on it.
Yours in health and freedom,
Maj. Gen. Ablert N. Stubblebine III
President
[Note from Counsel: Often, controversial bills are on the vote schedule and then off it… several times. A few thousand phone calls and emails RIGHT NOW can make the difference! rf]
