General Bert’s World Risk Assessment: Threats to Health and Food Freedom #1

1_Bert

Take and Disseminate This ACTION ITEM To Protect Health and Food Free Speech: http://tinyurl.com/healthfreespeech. Threats are coming at us so quickly and seemingly unpredictably that you need a score card to keep track. That is one of the roles the Natural Solutions Foundation plays: we help you keep score, so you can continue to sort, sift and understand these seeming disconnected, and sometimes nearly overwhelming events. We want you to know how to understand what is happening to us all and to our world. Unlike the skillful and very well financed disinformation agents of TPTB (The Powers That Be) our goal is to empower you to reach your own conclusions, take action to protect yourselves, families and communities and share the information you have with everyone you can reach. That is why we raise the hue and cry the loudest and bring you the leading edge analysis you depend upon, week after week, blast after blast.

scorecard-1

Start with my co-trustee, counsel Ralph Fucetola JD’s cogent analysis of the new Free Speech about Science bill, HR 1364 (a pretty good bill) and S. 216 (a really, really bad bill). His blog entry is entitled “HR 1364, S.216 and the Struggle for Health and Food Freedom” and it is here: http://vitaminlawyerhealthfreedom.blogspot.com/2011/04/free-speech-about-science-act-hr-1364.html.

While cheering for HR 1364 is all the rage in Health Freedom circles at the moment, you won’t see Counsel Fucetola or the Natural Solutions Foundation joining the wild cheering, since, while supporting the bill, we are all too aware of the limits of trying to solve such problems piece-meal. He concludes:

“…FDA has ignored these legal restrictions, prompting Dr Ron Paul to remark that, when the Congress gives more power to FDA, the agency always engages in an “abuse of power…” A couple of years ago it ignored the 2007 restrictions to exceed its power and ban the interstate sale of certain vitamins. Just last year it sought to ban the entire Ear Candling industry and asked the Courts to recognize NO right of Americans to make their own dietary choices.

This is an agency run-amok. An agency that is so incompetent that about half of the dangerous drugs (including vaccines) it approves must be withdrawn from the market, or strictly curtailed, within 5 years of approval, thus proving that the Public has become the final stage in drug company research and development. All the while, supporting drug company exemptions from legal liability for the horrendous harm they cause the Public.

Meanwhile, what we call Sen. Leahy’s Criminalization of Food and Speech bill, which claims to “increase criminal penalties for certain knowing and intentional violations relating to food…” but applies only to SPEECH, has reared its ugly head again, as S.216. While that dangerous bill slid through the Senate, we hope it will stall in the House. But the Senate may have more surprises in store for us, with Sen. Durbin planning on introducing a new Dietary Supplement labeling bill that would, for the first time, subject vitamins to registration with the federal government prior to sale.

While all this is happening, Dr. Ron Paul continues to urge “legalization of freedom” with his recent Raw Milk Freedom bill, HR. 1830. Read more about this Interstate Commerce Bill, see my interview with him, and use the Action Item to support it, here: http://tinyurl.com/rawmilkfreedom.

Yes, Congress, can pass new laws to protect us from its agents — or subject us to even more harassment.

But better, DIVEST THE FDA OF FOOD AUTHORITY! Let it stick to messing up dangerous drugs and deadly vaccines… FREE US from this bureaucratic nightmare that leads to hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths every year!

And that’s our gripe about a bill that’s been introduced with the best intent, but with hardly enough clout to do the job of restoring our Health and Food Freedoms…

We want to see a return to state, local and family food independence…

That’s why we continue to post important videos and other information at the Food Freedom eJournal, www.FoodFreedomeJournal.org, which can now be accessed through LikeMinded at: http://likeminded.org/resource/the-food-freedom-ejournal.

DATA POINT 1 of the World Risk Assessment is, therefore, WATCH YOUR FOOD.

DATA POINT 2 has to do with the devastating, escalating disaster in Japan where and entirely new set of reactors, at Onagawa, Japan have cracked open and are leaking more radiation following a severe aftershock earlier this week.

I am very troubled by this development and urge you to watch Dr. Rima’s three important videos below and take the proactive steps she recommends here, http://tinyurl.com/radprotect, to protect yourself and family. This horrific threat is not going away anytime soon. The reactors at Fukushima have been classified as a “Chernobyl Level Disaster” but, in reality, the radiation levels are far higher than that at Chernobyl. During a trip to Russia in 1991, scientists there informed Dr. Rima and me that the “accident” at Chernobyl was, in fact, an astoundingly stupid experiment that ran amok. The information I have suggests strongly to me that the “accident” at Fukushima was a HAARP event intended to run amok. The quake that opened 3 additional nuclear reactors at Onagawa appears to have been an aftershock from that event. However they got there, 3 more TEPCO nuclear reactors are leaking radioactive water and ionizing radiation-producing materials into the environment. Once there, it reaches the US in just a few days, then the Atlantic, Europe, Russia and China, then back around.

When will it stop? There is no indication that it will. Radiation WILL go up up, first in the Northern half of the planet, then all over it. That is why we are calling on you to take action to call for a ban on this inherently disastrous technology, along with the other DNA-destroying technology, GMOs here: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=8845 . More news about these matters is posted below.

DATA POINT 3 is the increasing probability of a financial meltdown in the United States if Congress is unable to hold the line on the Federal Debt Limit. Breaking through the $14+ billion figure may very well trigger the hyperinflation that has been building pressure. Obama Care legislation gave the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Kathleen Sibelius, a $16Billion “Slush Fund” which will only be funded IF the Federal Debt Ceiling is raised.

With that fund, she will find the Food Fascism bill which was sneaked through Congress at the last moment of a lame duck session in 2010. If the Federal Debt ceiling is NOT lifted, then this disastrous blow to health and freedom cannot be funded. Take this Action Item, http://tinyURL.com/NoDebtIncrease, to make sure that it is NOT funded so that your food, your farmers and your seed remain yours to choose and use. In Europe, the saving of seeds is being criminalized. In the US, it is being regulated into a crime. This battle is too important to lose!

Another part of Data Point 3 is the steady march of the US government toward your pension, IRA, 401 or other retirement money. Since retirement monies represent sent that last pool of “real money” in the US economy, it is a ripe plum for the picking by the greedy and chaotically faltering US government. If you have dollar-denominated assets (such as 401, IRA, trust ofr similar funds) now is the time to consider safer havens like the Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Project in Panama. Please visit http://tinyurl.com/4v95t37 to learn more about these options.

Right now, other data points that we have considered in the past, such as weaponized pandemics and dangerous forced vaccine campaigns seem to be in temporary hiatus… but eternal vigilance is still required. Each and every one of these data points could reactivate at any time and, in fact, the WHO and CDC are trying, once again, to beat the drum for a Bird Flu pandemic. It doesn’t seem to be attractive to a stress-weary MMD (Media of Mass Deception), but they are trying, so expect another go-round of “We’re all gonna die if we don’t take the shot RIGHT NOW!!!” in the very near future. We also continue to “keep score” at Codex Alimentarius meetings and, with your generous financial support, expect to have observers at next month’s Codex meeting in Canada; please donate here: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=189.

DATA POINT 4 is the continued spread of world-genome (DNA) destroying GMOs while other environmental toxins continue to escalate: Genomicide – the destruction of the world’s natural genome through GMOs, nuclear power and similar toxic risks. Take this vitally important Action Item to ban both of them NOW, and then take it viral. It is our world. Let’s protect it for ourselves and ALL future generations: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=8845.

We have important Action Items covering each of these risk points, since we know that PUSH BACK works. Please use the Action Items here daily : Our “7 + 1 Action Items: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=8653.

DATA POINTS 1-4 will, I believe, help you understand the future as it unfolds. More importantly, they will help you focus your PUSH BACK so we can choose the better future we all seek!

4.20.11 UPDATE: S.216, the bill that would put you in jail for ten years if the FDA later decides your speech about food was intentionally false and put people at risk, has passed the US Senate and has been sent over to the House. The food controllers attempted to include this criminalization of speech about food bill in the so-called FDA “Food Safety” (actually food control) Modernization Act of 2010, but with regard to that provision and other similarly draconian provisions, your PUSH BACK worked… last year.

FDA Seeking to Outlaw IV Vitamin C, Other Nutrients

FDA Seeking to Outlaw IV Vitamin C, Other Nutrients
Rep. Ron Paul, MD: As an agency, FDA engages in “abuse of power…”

March 9, 2011 – We Dissect a Response from the FDA! Click Here.


The FDA (the Food Destruction Agency) not content with its new power to control and industrialize our entire food supply, is, quite predictably, increasing its attacks on nutrients. Although the mis-named Food Safety [sic!] Modernization Act excludes nutrients, the FDA’s rampage against natural health is by no means limited to degrading our food supply.

DSHEA, the 1994 Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act, which protects dietary supplements does not protect nutrients unless they are delivered in oral form. That means that intravenous, transdermal, nasal, suppository or other forms of nutrition are vulnerable to FDA assault in a particularly worrisome way. This latest action by the FDA makes that point clearly.

On December 28, 2010 FDA ordered certain small manufacturers to stop making IV Vitamin C and several other injectable nutrients which are always used under a (holistic or Advanced health Care) physician’s supervision by classifying IV Vitamin C, Magnesium and certain B Vitamins as “New Drugs”.

The nutrients under attack, which form the basis of the popular “Myers Cocktail” and countless therapies for serious diseases, may be provided ONLY by compounding pharmacies under a specific prescription for a specific patient. This means that the cost of these nutrients will increase sharply.

It also means that the FDA, always hostile to compounding pharmacies and the independent use of nutrients, bio-identical hormones (now banned at the request of Wyeth/Pfizer, which manufactures dangerous synthetic hormones), the biologically active form of Vitamin B-6 (also banned at the request of a drug company) can pick off individual substances and attack compounding pharmacies at their leisure. This is a result of the power granted FDA in 2007 (section 301(11) of the Kennedy FDA Enabling Act) to ban interstate sale of any “food” ever studied for medical use, even if never so used.

Why, you ask, does FDA need authority to ban safe foods? Why does Congress think it has the power to grant such authority? Where in the Constitution does Congress have that power? And please, don’t say it’s in the “Commerce Clause” which grants the Federal Government the power to regulate Interstate Commerce. “Regulate” does not mean the power to forbid foods that people have always had the fundamental human right to grow, trade and use. It merely means to make commerce regular; to make fair and neutral “rules of the road” for Interstate Commerce. Under the 9th Amendment, the People have retained the right to grow and trade foods, including vitamins and minerals. As we Restore the Republic, that right must be respected again.

Manufacturing companies wishing to make and sell the now restricted injectible, inexpensive and life-saving nutrients will be forced to engage in full-scale drug approval testing for products that cannot be patented; this, the FDA knows, is economically impossible. The attack on Vitamin C comes on the heels of efforts by FDA to ban other nutrients, including forms of Vitamin B6 banned under the Kennedy Enabling Act.

If these restrictions stand, what nutrient will be next?

Please take the Action Item at this link, which tells the White House and FDA to leave our nutrients alone! http://tinyurl.com/saveIVNutrients

ABOUT IV NUTRIENTS; WE DISSECT IT…

To: “‘[redacted]'” Date: Wednesday, March 9, 2011, 8:53 AM

Dear P… B…

Thank you for your e-mail expressing concerns about FDA’s December 28, 2010 warning letter to an individual manufacturer (McGuff Pharmaceuticals Inc.) of intravenous (IV) vitamin C along with other prescription drugs.

Unlike oral vitamin C-which could be a dietary supplement- these particular IV solutions are, by law, unapproved drugs. Moreover, the manufacturers neglected to follow current good manufacturing practices, potentially exposing users to unnecessary risks.

Such risks have occurred before. In the E-Ferol tragedy of 1983, premature babies received E-Ferol, an intravenous form of vitamin E. E-Ferol was associated with adverse reactions in 100 premature infants, forty of whom died. It is highly likely that this tragedy would have been prevented if the product had been reviewed and approved by the FDA before its introduction to the market.

Since FDA announced its Unapproved Drugs Initiative in June 2006, marketers of unapproved drugs have been on notice that addressing risks from unapproved drugs is a high priority for FDA, and that the Agency plans to systematically and responsibly ensure that all products on the U.S. prescription drug market become compliant with current FDA approval requirements for safety and efficacy.

The mission of FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) is to ensure that safe and effective drugs are available to the American public. Drugs that have not been approved by FDA may not be safe and effective, may have been manufactured under sub-standard conditions, may contain too much or too little (if any) active ingredients, and may not have necessary labeling information and warnings.

FDA’s drug approval process ensures that drugs are safe, effective, of a suitable quality and purity, and are properly labeled. The Agency remains committed to assisting all firms with meeting these standards.

Again, we thank you for your input and hope that we were able to address your concerns.

Best regards,

This communication is consistent with 21CFR10.85(k) and constitutes an informal communication that represents our best judgment at this time but does not constitute an advisory opinion, does not necessarily represent the formal position of the FDA, and does not bind or otherwise obligate or commit the agency to the views expressed.

Please note: the above statement, in our humble opinion, misstates the law. The various laws passed by Congress over the decades continually adding to the FDA’s power all include “grandfather” clauses allowing products that existed when the various laws were adopted — IV nutrition has been used for a very long time. Andrew St Georgie received the Nobel Prize as one of the discoverers of Vitamin C in 1937. Frederick Klenner, M.D used IV Vitamin C in the 1940s. It was used IV well before the 1952 authorization by Congress giving FDA authority over the “safety and efficacy” of drugs (before that time, FDA only had authority over misbranded or adulterated drugs). rf

“From 1943 through 1947,” writes Robert Landwehr (3), “Dr. Klenner reported successful treatment of 41 more cases of viral pneumonia using massive doses of vitamin C. From these cases he learned what dosage and route of administration – intravenously, intramuscularly, or orally – was best for each patient. Dr. Klenner gave these details in a February 1948 paper published in the Journal of Southern Medicine and Surgery entitled ‘Virus Pneumonia and Its Treatment with Vitamin C.’ (4) This article was the first of Dr. Klenner’s twenty-eight (through 1974) scientific publications.”

It might be interesting to learn how poliomyelitis was treated in Reidsville, N.C., during the 1948 epidemic. In the past seven years, virus infections have been treated and cured in a period of seventy-two hours by the employment of massive frequent injections of ascorbic acid, or vitamin C. I believe that if vitamin C in these massive doses – 6,000 to 20,000 mg in a twenty-four hour period – is given to these patients with poliomyelitis none will be paralyzed and there will be no further maiming or epidemics of poliomyelitis.’ Levy concludes: “The four doctors who commented after Klenner did not have anything to say about his assertions.”

Klenner administered ascorbate by injection, and, as Lendon H. Smith describes in great detail in the Clinical Guide to the Use of Vitamin C: The Clinical Experiences of Frederick R. Klenner, M.D., Klenner found that “the most effective route was intravenous, but the intramuscular route was satisfactory. He gave at least 350 mg per kilogram of body weight.” That quantity per day is a dose of 25,000-30,000 mg or so for an adult. Yet, Smith adds, “With 350 mg per kilogram of body weight every two hours, he could stop measles and dry up chicken pox.”

Omnibus Bill to Thwart Voters’ Will? S.510 Hidden in Senate Bill: ACT NOW!

Wednesday, December 15th, 2010
This lame-duck Congress is apparently seen by certain politicians as their last hurrah… Hurray! But clearly this is also a dangerous moment. We need to PUSH BACK now more than ever!

Action Item here:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=5303

In addition to the Continuing Resolution, sent to the Senate after being passed by the House (HR. 3082, which had the fake “food safety” bill S.510 hidden in it) the Senate “leadership” is considering an omnibus budget bill, crabbing together all of the 12 sectional budget bills Congress failed to pass, and putting S.510’s new food-control bureaucracy into the witches’ brew for good measure!

Opposition to the Omnibus Bill is running about 1,500 people an hour through the Health Freedom USA educate-decision-makers, easy to use, email system; just put in your zip code and a bit more info, and your emails are on their way to your Senators and the White House. Various patriot and civic groups are urging their supporters to express opposition, so the total PUSH BACK is even stronger.

The Continuing Resolution or Omnibus Bill can only pass over the minority’s objection if the majority forces the issue through cloture (limiting debate). Since the majority party lost its 60 vote super-majority, needed to invoke cloture, the only way either bill will pass is if certain faint-of-heart members of the minority party support it! It took several Senators — including Massachusetts’ new Sen. Scott Brown who was elected with Tea Party support — to pass S.510 the first time in the Senate. If these Senators hold firm, this will not happen again! If they side with the majority party, we expect the voters will remember. And even six years from now Sen. Brown will be held to the promises he ignored!

The email system’s action item against the Omnibus Budget-Busting Bill with S.510’s fake “food safety” bureaucracy tucked into it, is here: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/p/dia/action/public/?action_KEY=5303

Says General Stubblebine, President of Natural Solutions Foundation:

“The smell of victory is in the air… we must encourage the faint-of-heart Senators to persevere. And get ready to blast ’em if they turn-tail to run! By the end of any battle, both sides are exhausted, but the side that perseveres just a little longer… wins! That is where we are now, and that is why massive Push Back is more important now than before! We are flooding the Senate with a clear message: No New Programs in the Continuing Resolution or Omnibus Bill; Strip S.510 out of any funding bill! Keep at it! Victory is within our reach. Keep pressing forward while you recruit your contacts to act with you now!”

We are so pleased to have seen over the past couple weeks especially various people and groups in the Freedom Movement, like Downsize DC, Tea Party Patriots, Tea Party Nation and the Campaign for Liberty have joined health and food freedom advocates, like Health Freedom USA, Citizens for health and others to bring a truly transpartisan perspective to the opposition to the fake “food safety” bill, S.510, scheduled by the lame duck Congressional “leadership” for a “final” vote on Monday, November 29, 2010.

The Congressional lame duck “leadership” have used every maneuver allowed by their parliamentary procedures to push through the fake “food safety” bills; what will be, essentially, a law that sets the stage for regulatory imposition of industrialize “farming” methods on our local, natural food production and distribution while implementing the worst of Codex Alimentarius’ international restrictions on our freedoms. It would allow imposition of what we have called “Food Fascism” and be a continuation of the Federal Administration’s policy of “seizing the commanding heights” of the economy.

One of those maneuvers has been to tempt several Senators who are normally on the side of local food production to “go along” with this Big AgBiz-written bill in exchange for some changes in the new farm order to be imposed. Those amendments, even if adopted in their most local-food-friendly versions barely begin to allay our fears of Federal Food Fascism.

Let this example suffice:

Earlier today Bloomberg reported, and the Natural Products Association (NPA) spread it around and about that:

Headline: “Small farms would be exempt from food safety regs” — nice sounding?
But read the Text: “Some small farms would be exempt…”

Read the rest here: http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D9JJ0G700.htm

Bloomberg, we should point out, is the media outlet of the wealthy Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York City. Just as a reminder, New York City is not what most people would call a farming community. It does not raise food and is not the home of any significant number of small farms. Just why is Bloomberg organization positioning itself as a Company Man in the food wars which have been thrust upon us by the likes of Monsanto Man, Michael Taylor, now our Food Safety [sic!] Czar? And why would the Natural Products Association take the position that industrializing the US Food Supply is a good thing? We believe that their lawyers are as capable as ours of reading the bills and discerning the disastrous consequences and stipulations. We’ve quoted specific language from the Manager’s Bill that would allow secret regulations, would pave the way to full implementation of Codex Alimentarius (the so-called ‘world food code’ that serves the globalists’ interests) and have shown how the “exemptions” will hardly protect significant proportions of local food production.

Could it be because their membership is heavily weighted to Big Pharma? Given that Big Pharma makes most of the nutrients and “natural products” with which they deal, and given the fact that clean food is a direct threat to Big Pharma, whose income rests on your impaired nutrition and immune system, and given the fact that Big Pharma is also Big AgraBiz and Big Chema and Big Biotech, could it be that NPA (formerly the NNFA) has once again acted the whore to its powerful members as it did when it produced its expensive (rumored to have cost $800,000) “Report” assuring wellness companies that Codex would prove not threat to them or their businesses? see http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=180 for a detailed analysis of that report.

Make no mistake: $.510 will not only hurt small farmers, it will eventually criminalize their activity, and yours if you are growing your own food, and put them out of business. Done. Finished. Over. Ended.

But consider our $.510 Talking Points,http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=6910, first published weeks ago, to see the truth is that only a small percent of local food production and distribution would be exempt from Federal controls under the best of the amendments; only partially protecting a few small family farms, representing a small percentage of local food production, and as inflation kicks in, without indexing, the “protections” will become meaningless. Under one version of the “let them eat cake” amendment, only farms grossing less than $500,000 annually would be exempt… and as inflation kicks in, even with “indexing” pegged to the manipulated CPI, the “protections” will become meaningless.

“In 2009, the majority of family farms (60 percent) had gross sales of less than $10,000, but they accounted for only 2 percent of the total value of agricultural production… Family farms with gross sales of $10,000 to $249,999 were 30 percent of the family farms and were responsible for 18 percent of production. At the other end of the size distribution, the 10 percent of family farms that grossed at least $250,000 accounted for 80 percent of the value of production…” http://www.ers.usda.gov/Briefing/WellBeing/farmhouseincome.htm

Talking Points: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=6910

What percent of local food production would be protected? The above Federal figures do not reveal that, but applying a reasonable distribution curve suggests less than 40%.

Bloomberg’s and NPA’s headlines are misleading and the threat from S.510 is far worse than they imagine.

But we do not need to let that happen. Here’s the plan to STOP S.510!!!

1. Flood Senators’ home offices with calls over the Thanksgiving holiday week; if you know the Senator personally, call him/her direct, or talk to him/her over the Thanksgiving Day table!

2. Begin to flood the Senate with emails starting Sunday 11.28 and peaking throughout 11.29 — our system reached over 5,000 emails an hour for several hours a day, several days last week. Other groups were similarly engaged. We need to do much better.

No time for Thanksgiving yet, no time to pat ourselves on the back! Our Senators are home… it’s time for the Home Folks to tell them what we want: Vote “No!” on S. 510. Even Sen. Testor or Dr. Coburn’s well-intentioned amendments do not go far enough to protect local, organic, family, community food production and distribution!

If the lame duck “leadership” forces this bad bill through the Senate, we will flood the House of Representatives with opposing emails; if it is sent to the White House, we will petition the current occupant to veto the bill; if he signs it, we will demand that the new Congress refuse to fund its provisions, including any funding for more FDA inspectors or for any “HARMonizing” with Codex Alimentarius, or any other provision that restricts Food Freedom!

One message to the Senate and the House: VOTE “NO!” ON S.510!

11.17.10 UPDATE
PUSH BACK rate reaches 5,000 emails an hour to decision makers! Keep sending those messages! And PLEASE CALL YOUR SENATORS, Too

S.510, the horrific, fake “food safety” bill (and possibly its evil companions, $.3767 and the discredited S.3002) will be pushed through the Lame Duck Congress this week. It is definitely on the Obama Lame Duck Agenda. Our friends in DC have confirmed this.

Today there will be a cloture vote on Senate bill $.510. But there are two other bills whose cloture (choking off debate) votes will occur first. IF cloture passes for the first one, a “cooling off” period of 30 hours of debate must pass before the next one can be voted on for cloture and before the vote can take place, we have been informed. If the second cloture vote passed, then an additional 30 hours of debate must occur before the vote on it can take place.

On the other hand, it is possible that $ 510 will be voted upon without cloture or that a cloture vote will be taken and then it is voted on after the required 30 hours of debate.

So the exact schedule of voting is not clear. What is clear is that this bill, and its horrific companion pieces MUST NOT be allowed to pass despite the determination of the worst combination of Lame Duck destructiveness, Corporate greed and Regulatory irresponsibility.

The delays, if they occur, may, in fact, be exactly what we need. The President, Secretary Sebelius and the US Senate have been bombarded with more than 600,000 emails from you and more from the supporters of the many, many health and food freedom groups who have followed our leads and asked their supporters to send the same message to the same recipients: DON’T YOU DARE!

So we may have hours or days to make sure that we still have food freedom without having to fight for repeal or use other strategies to make sure that we control the quality of the food that we eat. Health Freedom, including food freedom, IS our first freedom.

IT IS URGENT THAT EVERY HEALTH AND FOOD FREEDOM GROUP WARN THEIR SUPPORTERS AND FLOOD CONGRESS WITH “NO $.510!” MESSAGES, NOW!

Please forward this message widely. Please take the Action Item below each day this week, for each person in your family!

THIS IS A RED ALERT! WE MUST FLOOD THE SENATE NOW!
