As of September 1, 2009 over 91,000 emails sent to Congress!
——————–
August 1, 2009 Announcement
Dr. Ron Paul, health freedom’s friend in Congress, introduced two important bills yesterday that, if passed, would rein in the excessive interference in advanced health products by the FDA and FTC.
Here is the Life Extension Foundation’s description of the bills:
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.
These bills go to the heart of the issue of valid health claims for nutrient products: how do companies substantiate the claims they are making. Essentially the bills apply Constitutional principles to the making of claims, which are a type of speech, and are therefore protected from excessive bureaurcratic burden.
In this context it is useful to see what then Justice Sandra Day O’Connor wrote for the Supreme Court majority in the leading health claim free speech case, Thompson v. Western States Medical Center – 01-344, decided on April 29, 2002 – 535 U.S. 357 –
“If the First Amendment means anything, it means that regulating speech must be a last – not first – resort.”
“We have previously rejected the notion that the Government has an interest in preventing the dissemination of truthful commercial information in order to prevent members of the public from making bad decisions with the information.”
“Even if the Government did argue that it had an interest in preventing misleading advertisements, this interest could be satisfied by the far less restrictive alternative of requiring each …to be labeled with a warning that the [product] had not undergone FDA testing and that its risks were unknown.”
The basic rule, announced by the case, to determine constitutionally permitted government restrictions on Commercial Speech (speech that makes or is about an offer for a transaction) is a Two Prong Test: the first prong is to ask two questions: (1) is the speech in question about unlawful activity and (2) is the speech misleading. If “no” to both, the speech is entitled to protection unless the Government can carry its burden and prove (1) the governmental interest involved is “substantial”, (2) the regulation must “directly advance” the governmental interest and (3) the regulation of Commercial Speech cannot be “more extensive than is necessary to serve that interest” (quoting Central Hudson v Public Service, 447 US 557, at 566).
Dr. Paul’ s bills make it clear that the government has the burden of proof if it seeks to restrict what marketers say about their health related products. In this way, his bills preserve the Constitutional protections for Commercial Speech.

Three for Liberty!
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.

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.

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.

Over a million emails sent through Health Freedom USA.org web site: Decision makers protect the right of people to self-shield in the event of a declared pandemic emergency instead of vaccination.
For Immediate Release:

Media Release
Over One Million eMails Demanding Right to Self-Shield,
Protection from Untested “Swine Flu Vaccine”
Washington DC – July 27, 2009: Natural Solutions Foundation President Maj. Gen. Albert N. Stubblebine III (US Army, Ret.) announced today that over one million email messages have been generated through Natural Solutions Foundation’s website, www.HealthFreedomUSA.org, putting decision makers, including President Obama, Health Secretary Sibelius, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Neapolitano, members of Congress, Governors and state legislators on notice that Americans demand the right self-shield in the event of a declared pandemic emergency. Current State and Federal legislation could mandate Pandemic vaccines for Swine Flu or incarceration for those refusing it. Self Shielding is a third path for those who do not accept being vaccinated or incarcerated/quarantined
Gen. Stubblebine, focusing on the notice in the Federal Register on June 26, 2009, stated, “Health and Human Services Secretary Sibelius admits that the untested swine flu vaccine ‘may be effective’ and then, again, maybe not. Certainly, the threat to public health of a dangerous, unproven, untested and uninsurable pandemic vaccine should trigger the Precautionary Principle under which a vaccine may not be used until it has been shown to be safe. No such concoction should ever be approved for public use no matter how profitable. But, that is exactly what the Secretary intends. And she says that vaccinating our children and pregnant women first we ‘will just have to wait and see’ what the level of harmful side effects turn out to be! The Secretary said we will have to hope that there ‘are not too many adverse events’ but does not say how many would be too many. We say that even one is too many for an uninsurable, unnecessary and untested vaccine. Let us remember the fiasco of the last ‘swine flu’ vaccination in 1976 which killed far more people than did the non-event that flu turned out to be.”
Through its innovative Self Shielding Initiative, http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=27275, the Foundation and its hundreds of thousands of supporters are calling upon Congress and the state legislatures to recognize and protect the right of people to self-shield in their own homes in the event of an actual pandemic, rather than being subjected to either a “voluntary” or “mandatory” vaccination or incarceration/quarantine, as provided for in multiple state and federal laws and Executive Orders. Those who wish to maintain the right to refuse vaccination without risking incarceration can go to the Foundation web sit, http://www.HealthFreedomUSA.org, and read the Foundation’s White Paper, “Stay Home – Stay Alive”, http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=2752, to send a message through demanding that right through its free automated submission system which will send messages to state and federal legislators and all relevant Federal Officials plus the Governor of the sender’s state.
A draft bill, prepared by the Foundation’s legal staff, the Protecting Americans’ Self-Shielding Act, forbids the use of Federal funds, agents or resources to involuntarily remove self-shielding people from their own homes. Members of Congress who support health freedom are considering introducing this bill if enough support for it reaches the desk of other members of Congress, making widespread action urgent for those who do not accept either vaccination or incarceration.
Rima E. Laibow, MD, Foundation Medical Director indicated, “Under Red Cross and standard medical guidelines, self-shielding during a pandemic is a preferred and time-honored way to prevent the spread of disease.” She also advises people to follow the advice offered by FEMA to its people to prepare a 30 day supply of food, water, medicines, vitamins and other essentials. If self shielding, these supplies will be indespensible. Instructions on Self Shielding may be found at http://www.HealthFreedomUSA.org under “Health Freedom Blog” and “Self Shielding” buttons.
Ralph Fucetola JD, Foundation Counsel said, “The common law and UN Declaration of Universal Rights enshrine the protection of people in their homes. Article 12 of the Declaration provides, “No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home…” The Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution recognizes “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses…”
The Natural Solutions Foundation, established in 2004, the Voice of Global Health Freedom, is coordinating a global “push back” effort to protect the public from the dangers of not just untested and uninsurable vaccines, but also undeclared GMOs (genetically modified organisms), toxins, antibiotic and other chemical residues and the clear and present threat of industry friendly, but health hostile, international food regulations that permit these dangers, through Codex Alimentarius (the so-called “world food code”). Approximately a quarter of a million health freedom advocates world wide are members of the Health Freedom Action eAlert list, spreading the Foundation’s message of natural solutions to millions around the globe.
Despite its recent admissions that laboratory tests do not accurately identify Swine Flu (AH1N1), most cases identified as “Swine Flu” have not been labeled by lab tests, – most people infected (or suspected of infection) with Swine Flu recover without any medical intervention or the need for any treatment other than fluids and bed rest – that the virus is so low in disease-causing potential that vaccine manufacture is very slow, leading to WHO declaring it will re-engineer the virus, fueling belief that WHO engineered the novel Swine Flu virus, – new cases will no longer be counted, – all respiratory cases are being counted as Swine Flu, thus inflating case number to absurdly high levels, – drug resistant strains of the Swine Flu are emerging, WHO and CDC continue to insist that a grave public health danger exists.
These organizations are forging ahead with guidance and plans for mass vaccination, in some countries, through mandatory programs. FDA states that it intends to approve the Swine Flu vaccine before safety testing can be completed and the UK says that it will accomplish this feat in a mere 5 days after the vaccine is received although WHO cautions against such hasty approval.
Americans, in record numbers, reject the notion that an untested, uninsurable, unsafe vaccine should be injected into their bodies and those of their children in a rush to “prevent” an inconsequential disease. They understand that if the Swine Flu did mutate as threatened by WHO and CDC into a deadlier form, the Swine Flu vaccine in production now would be powerless to prevent it since once a virus undergoes significant mutation, any vaccine prepared for the previous version is totally ineffective against the new version.
They would rather stay home and stay alive. And the Natural Solutions Foundation’s Self Shielding initiative is helping them to do just that!

Draft NO HARMonization Bill
H.R. ________: To amend the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act, Title 7 of the United States Code (Agriculture) and for other purposes.
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.
Draft 1.2 rev.07.20.09
