IAHF List:

About, Face!---- Forward, MARCH!

Change of plans from alert sent out yesterday. Scrap that alert, it
no longer applies to what we're facing on this battlefield because
the bad AER bill was rammed through the Senate last night at 9PM, and
I didn't get word of it til 5 minutes ago.

WHAT THIS MEANS & WHAT WE MUST DO NOW TO KILL THE BILL IN THE HOUSE

We must make calls to the following key Congressmen RIGHT AWAY all
day today (Thursday) and Friday if theres no action on it today.
Whats happening is that the Senate and House are playing tit for tat,
each group is trying to get the other to pass companion bills to
legislation that they've passed in their body. In other words, in our
case, since S.3546 has passed in the Senate, the Senate is now
pressuring the House to pass the companion bill which is HR6168

So..... we must call: 202-225-3121 (Capital Switchboard 24/7) and
ask for:

1. Hastert

2. Boehner- (tell him not to allow it to be put on the calendar- he
opposes the bill, but now theres going to be HUGE pressure on him to
let it be voted on.)

3. Barton

What to say: "HR 6168, the
"A large sector of the Dietary Supplement industry including Solgar,
Nutraceutical Corp, Nature's Plus, Life Extension Foundation,
Wellness Resources and many other companies oppose HR6168 Dietary
Supplement and Nonprescription Drug Consumer Protection Act. This
legislation has nothing in it to determine causality of an Adverse
event. Safe dietary supplements would be wrongly blamed for problems
actually caused by pharmaceutical drugs taken concurrently with one
or more dietary supplements- and there would be no medical or
scientific review required by FDA before they could release the
flawed "data" released by this witch hunt. Th is would be a trial
lawyers dream, but its not good government and it would do nothing to
protect the public health. There must be hearings on this
legislation, and there must be changes made to its language before it
would actually serve its intended purpose. Do not ram it through on
us during the lame duck- if you do, you will enrage the millions of
dietary supplements who flooded congress with more mail during the
campaign to pass DSHEA than Congress ever received in its history on
ANY issue."

Put some power behind your voice when you deliver this message- put
some INFLECTION into your voice, let them FEEL your emotion!!

WE CAN KILL THIS BILL, but ONLY if you make the calls and urge all
your FRIENDS and FAMILY to also make the calls! If we can just HANG
IN THERE for the next 2 days and kill it in the House, then they'll
have to completely reintroduce the bill in the next congress and it
will be back to square one for the other side.

We MUST buy some time in order to get HEARINGS on this bill in the
next congress where we'd have the chance to de-fuse the ticking bomb
by getting language changes into it to protect our interests! If we
don't take this very seriously, it will lead to the TOTAL DESTRUCTION
of the American dietary supplement industry. We'll see supplements
wrongly blamed for adverse reactions actually caused by Rx drugs
taken concurrently. We'll see "Trial by TV" like never before against
supplements.

We'll see insurance companies jack up their premium costs beyond what
any of the small, innovative companies such as Wellness Resources or
Life Extension Foundation could afford, and we'd see a total Pharma
takeover of the industry occur. As it is now, we're dangling by a
THREAD, but we AREN'T DEAD YET, and while there is still BREATH in
our bodies, we MUST FIGHT!!

IAHF needs your help to get back to DC in January:

If we can kill the AER bill in the House during this lame duck
session which ends Friday, the bill would have to be reintroduced in
the next Congress under new bill numbers- they'd have to try again-
and we will have to push very hard for a HEARING on the bill in order
to get the changes made to it that we need.

The other side is pulling out all the stops to get this bill through
because it would enable the big supplement companies that could
afford the red tape to knock off the small companies that can't and
the big ones would gain hugely increased marketshare. Thank God not
all big companies are against us! Please be sure to THANK Nature's
Plus, Nutraceutical, and Solgar for being in our corner against NPA
(formerly NNFA).

We must continue to build our base regardless of what happens on this
bill. We must ALSO push for a hearing on FDA's illegal Trilateral
Cooperation Charter with Canada/ Mexico wherein FDA is attempting to
harmonize the food and drug regs for all 3 countries as if the
N.American Union already existed. We're seeing a concerted push to
DESTROY our country, and it will be destroyed, but ONLY if we LET it!
