" Big Pharma " versus Everybody... Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen Thursday, July 14th, 2005 A seven-thousand-five-hundred-dollar hand-tailored business suit. A fifteen-hundred-dollar designer tie. A four-hundred-fifty-dollar belt. Twenty-five-hundred dollar hand-made shoes. Three-hundred-fifty-dollar hand-made silk underwear. And, a twenty-five-thousand dollar hand-made watch. Who's wearing this? Every one of the roughly seven thousand lobbyists working for " Big Pharma " trying to get laws, and treaties, favorable to their aims, through the US Congress. They dress like this for two reasons (1) with the money " Big Pharma " is paying them they can afford to, and (2) they want to make " the right impression. " Their current project is to get CAFTA (the Central American Free Trade Agreement) passed. It's important to them - and they've pulled out all of the stops. Despite all the money, they are not winning. Although the " health freedom " movement had a temporary setback with the loss of the " Codex " battle in Rome, July 4th, 2005, we won a MUCH larger battle in the European Court of Justice.
