Down To The Wire - Critical Codex Appeal

Please pass this on to everybody you know!

This is CRITICAL if you believe in the freedom to choose your own nutritional supplements!

Seriously, do you want to have to go to a medical doctor for 500 mg. of vitamin C or Echinacea? If the House of Representatives passes bill #HR3045, also known as CAFTA, next week, (it has already passed the Senate!) then that is what will be the reality in America.

Point #6 in the CAFTA agreement requires "harmonization with Codex Alimentaris" which places the power to decide which supplements can and can't be sold over the counter in the hands of a foreign delegation.

Please take 5 minutes to communicate your concern to your Congressmen. The link to your congressman can be found at Elected Officials & Federal Agencies

Next, please email everyone you know ASAP.
Thanks for your support.

Blessings,

P.S. Here is a copy of the letter I sent:

Dear Congressman Leach,

Please vote "no" on CAFTA this week. Point #6 will require the harmonization with Codex which allows a foreign body to determine which nutritional supplements will and will not be permitted to be sold over the counter. I work with thousands of individuals who have found their way back to health by discarding prescription medications, that wreak havoc in the body, and by turning to natural alternatives. Why should those individuals have to go to a doctor for 500 mg. of vitamin C, E or Echinacea as they do in Norway? CAFTA is unconstitutional if it takes away our freedom of choice to maintain our own health! Please find it in your heart to vote this one down. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Pamela Slowick
