We get to tell our story to Congress on September 20, 2005 and you are invited! The Natural Solutions Foundation will participate in a Congressional Briefing on Codex Alimentarius in room 2220 in the Rayburn Building. We would love to see you there. We would also love to see Congress there! They will come if you tell them that you, their constituent, urge them to go. That’s how it works. This is a critical opportunity to make the pro-health side of the Codex story clear to Congress since it is Congress that can protect or overturn DSHEA and it is Congress that can allow or prevent harmonization with other Codex standards here in the US.
Congress is our bulwark and Congress knows almost nothing about Codex. The Natural Solutions Foundation has called and written to every member of Congress and spoken to their health aides (or tried to). There are a few Congressmen who “get” Codex like Representatives Ron Paul, Peter DeFazio, Dan Burton, Dana Rohrabacher and others.
The vast majority of Congress, however, has either never heard of Codex or only has the “Consumer Protection” line to hold on to. We know, of course, that consumer protection has nothing to do with Codex. We know that you cannot trust Codex with either your health or your wallet. Congress, by and large, has no idea about the real nature of Codex. So we will tell them.
Here’s your part: there are lots of Congressional briefings. Congressmen and their staff members only go when they have a reason to go. The most compelling reason to go is because you tell them to!
Here’s what you need to send them (you can cut and paste this letter or write your own):
It is urgently important that you and your staff attend the Congressional Briefing on Codex Alimentarius on September 20, 2005 in room 2220 in the Rayburn Building. Codex Alimentarius has the potential to eliminate access to high potency vitamins currently protected by DSHEA, lower the quality of food due to significant adulteration and, as a consequence, increase preventable disease and deaths in this country.
Despite inaccurate information to the contrary, Codex Alimentarius is not protective of consumer needs, rights or interests. Instead, it is a form of global corporate welfare with dire consequences to the health and well being of America’s people and environment.
I do not trust Codex with my health or my wallet and I look to you to protect my them for me since you are in a position to do so.
Thank you in advance for your attendance at this vitally important briefing. I particularly want you to hear what Rima E. Laibow, MD, Medical Director of the Natural Solutions Foundation, has to share during this briefing.
Thank you,
your name
your address
Cut and paste that into the form that you will reach by following this link: Contact Congress , enter your zip code and click on “Elected Officials”. Your Congressional Delegation and the President of the US will get the email you send.
Please ask everyone on your email list join you in urging Congress to attend this briefing. Give them the link and the instructions above and suggest that they send a letter like the one above to Congress, too. Only grass roots will win this battle. But grass roots CAN win it!
Yours in health and freedom,
Rima E. Laibow, MD
Medical Director
