Have you set up your local meetup yet for September 13, 2005 at 7:30? Yes? Congratulations! No? Well, now would be a really good time to do that. It’s really easy and will put you in touch with others who feel the same way you do about health freedom. Here’s how: Go to our meetup page, and start a meetup. Why? Because protection our health freedom is going to take a lot of us and meetup.com is a perfect way for us to find each other.

What to do at the meetup? The purpose of our first Health Freedom Meetup is to

1. Get to know each other around health freedom
2. Help everyone there to notify Congress to attend the Congressional Briefing on Codex on September 20, 2005 at noon, Room 2220 Rayburn
3. Enlist everyone to notify their circles of influence about the Congressional Briefing so that Congress gets a lot of input on this Briefing
4. Have a discussion about local action that you can take to raise awareness about health freedom in your community
5. Make realistic plans to carry out one project in your community which can inform other people about the issue.

The perfect meetup would have a computer (Starbucks are often configured for wireless) to allow people to send their request to their Congressmen to attend the Congressional Codex Briefing,
No computer? No worry. The meetup (computer or no) is a wonderfully effective means to getting your personal convictions up and running as a general item of social awareness to protect our rights to natural health and clean, unadulterated food.

Contact me at info@healthfreedomusa.org and I will email you materials to make your meetup easier to organize including Action Steps, Talking Points, Members List, membership forms, etc. I have postponed my local HealthFreedomMeetup so that I can be available to you by phone or speaker phone to say “Hi” and offer support. If you are running a meetup we can schedule a call. That would be terrific!.

Being a Meetup organizer costs $20 bucks a month, but I suggest you share the cost with the folks who come. If that’s not comfortable for you, the Natural Solutions Foundation will help you work it out. Just email me at info@healthfreedomusa.org and we’ll make it work. There is no way we are going to let $20 stand in the way of your community meetup! No way, no how! This is too important!

Awake, aware people standing up and making themselves heard: that’s how we will keep, and expand, our health freedom. Don’t believe it? Look at DSHEA, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 which was passed by unanimous Congressional consent in 1994 when no Congressman in the country dared to oppose what was clearly the will of the people. We did it then, we can do it now. Before the population of this country rose up in clear political action saying, “Don’t you dare touch my health freedoms!” Congress was getting set to ban them all together. Congress was told in no uncertain terms that they could do that but it would end their political careers. They backed off.

Sounds good to me re: Codex and any restriction on natural health options. How about you? If you like the idea of a bunch of foreign bureaucrats telling you that you can’t have nutrients at clinically effective doses because they have declared nutrients to be toxins (!) but you have no choice but to eat contaminated foods ( e.g. , deadly banned pesticides, hormones, veterinary drugs and antibiotics, irradiation, etc), then, by all means, do not organize a meetup. If, on the other hand, that does not appeal to you, here’s your opportunity to make yourself heard!

See you at the First Health Freedom Meetup, September 13, 7:30 PM!

Yours in health and popular support of freedom,

I just did something that I can’t wait to share with you! One of our challenges in a grass roots, global village is finding each other. We now have a sophisticated electronic way to hook up with other people in our own locals in the same way that we can via the internet. It’s called meetup.com (URL: http://www.meetup.com/) Go there and enter “Health Freedom”. You will be directed to The Health Freedom Meetup. If you join the Meetup in your town, let me know and we will help you organize it.

Here’s how it works: if you would like to have a Health Freedom Meetup in your area (even if you don’t know anyone else to invite to your Meetup), look for a Health Freedom meetup in your area (you’ll be asked for your zip code). Go to “Fnd a Meetup Group” and enter “Health Freedom”. If there isn’t one in your area, become an organizer. It’s simple and it’s easy. That let’s you organize a Meetup on the same day and at the same time as all the other Health Freedom Meetups (or at another time if you can’t make that one although it is best if we all meet on the same day).

Meetup.com let’s us all communicate with one another, organize events that are bigger than our local meetings and share information and experience, fliers, ideas, etc. with each other. Privacy is assured and no one needs to travel long distances to meet with people who care about health freedom, too. Ask your local Starbucks or similar site if you can meet there once a month (or more often as the need arises). Make your meeting short, focused and to the point and let us know what happens so we can help coordinate what you are doing with others around the countries who are doing the similar things.

An urgent priority is getting people in your Meetup active so that they and everyone they know tells their Congressmen and women to attend the Congressional Codex Briefing, September 20 (time TBA) Room 2220 Rayburn by going to our email engine, http://tinyurl.com/c5jmw. (I’m now including URLs because when the email gets forwarded, sometimes the link does not transmit).

There is a $19 per month Meetup fee which people can help the organizer cover through dues (payable by paypal). I would suggest a meeting fee of $19 divided by the number of people at the Meetup for starters.

I am really excited about using global electronic communication to help us act locally and keep America Codex free!

Let me know that you are having a Meetup and we will provide material which will make your task easier and more effective. So let’s Meetup on Tuesday, September 13 at 7:30PMshall we? See you then!

Yours in health and well-met freedom,
