Senate Bill 3546--Limiting access to supplements

[Guest guest]

Lame Duck Congress Threatening

To Pass Anti-Supplement Bill

 

It is a regrettable fact that our legal-political

system is so often characterized by deception and

ambush.

 

During the heated political campaigns prior to

November 7, members of Congress would not dare pass a

bill that would interfere with consumers’ free access

to dietary supplements.

 

Now that the election is over, there is an attempt to

attach a new law onto an existing bill that would give

the FDA greater powers to remove dietary supplements

from the marketplace and put a heavy burden on smaller

dietary supplement companies.

 

This ominous Senate Bill—S.3546—is deceptively titled

Dietary Supplement and Non-Prescription Drug Consumer

Protection Act. The charade behind this title is that

it would largely function to protect large

pharmaceutical companies against the low cost

competition they are encountering from makers of

natural alternatives to their toxic drugs.

 

As many of you know, this year’s election was one of

the closest on record. If the re-elected members of

Congress know how outraged citizens will be if S.3546

is passed, it will almost certainly be killed.

 

To conveniently inform your members of Congress to

vote NO on S.3546 and any House companion bill, just

Please know that members of Congress now prefer email

as the most efficient way to hear from their

constituents. Life Extension has set up a

super-convenient email network that enables consumers

to readily identify their members of Congress and then

send them prepared messages urging them to vote NO on

S.3546.
