S.1082 is an awful bill.  Oppose it loudly.  If this bill gets in force the FDA will have the power it needs to do away with vitamins, herbs, and the like.  When you are writing to your Senators tell them that the Grassley bills, S467 and S468 are the ones that offer true reform of the FDA.

Attorney Jonathan Emord is the best attorney we have:

He gave me this proposed amendment to S.1082, we MUST get this language inserted into DSHEA or DSHEA is TOAST:

Amendment to Bill S1082: The Food and Drug Administration Revitalization Act

Purpose of the amendment:
The bill, S1082: The Food and Drug Administration Revitalization Act, is hereby amended to eliminate any reference to the terms food or food ingredients, such that food and food ingredients will not be subject to any jurisdiction or control by the Regan-Udall Foundation for the Food and Drug Administration.  

Intent of amendment: 
To eliminate from the bill any possibility that food or food ingredients would be treated like drugs either for safety review purposes or for assessment of their efficacy.  It is a fundamental tenet of food and drug law that foods and food ingredients are presumed to be safe and
have to be established to be adulterated only if they present a significant or unreasonable risk of illness or injury. 

WHAT TO DO: Flood Hatch, Harken and EVERY member of the Senate with a mssg asking them to kill S.1082 or at the VERY LEAST to amend S.1082 to include this amendment!!

Killing the bill could be impossible because it contains PDUFA (Prescription Drug User Fee Act) which is up for renewel every year. This is a HORRIBLE bill, and it should be killed, but it has a HUGE head of steam behind it ..... but if Hatch and Harkin don't even TRY to help us get this amendment...... then they will have sold their souls and tossed DSHEA into the trash.... and we can't just LET them do that.......
