Consumer voice for natural health heard on the hill!
Yesterday, Sen. Richard Durbin (IL) withdrew Senate Amendment 3225 from a Department of Defense funding bill. Your actions undoubtedly made a huge difference on this issue—over 12,500 letters were sent to Congress in just six days asking your Senators to oppose this amendment and protect your health choices!
Senate Amendment 3225 threatened to restrict access to certain dietary supplements on military bases and place strict and unnecessary reporting guidelines on manufacturers who sell vitamins and supplements on these bases. This move would have set an unacceptable precedent and could have been the beginning of other policy moves that would undermine the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), the act that gives Americans sustained information and access to dietary supplements. However, due to lack of support from Senate leaders and an outpouring of opposition from natural health consumers nationwide, Sen. Durbin withdrew the amendment yesterday at 5:10 p.m. after the issue was discussed on the Senate floor.
Senator Hatch agreed to work with Sen. Durbin and the dietary supplement manufacturers on a legislative strategy to create a system for reporting Adverse Event Reports (AER’s) to the FDA. This way the issue will be given the consideration needed to create a successful model for consumers and producers. This issue will likely be included in an existing bill sponsored by Sen. Hatch and Sen. Biden, the Anabolic Steroid Control Act.
Citizens for Health supports full product information requirements, including a system for manufacturers to report serious adverse experience reports. We want to make sure this issue gets full and fair consideration in Congress and does not single out natural products and hold them to a higher and more onerous standard than pharmaceutical drugs, over-the-counter drugs or other regulated categories like food additives.
Thank you for your support. We will continue to keep you informed on this and other issues central to your health rights. Please visit **broken link removed** to learn about our One Million Voices for Healthier Choices program.

It's paramount we do what we can with the new Anabolic Control act. The pro steroid law reform pool is so small it's important WE ALL do what we can and at every angle made available to us.

Let's do something now before it's too late. I have a hard time believing a bunch of bodybuilders will lay down and do little to fight. Thats what we all do everyday, We fight weight, we fight genetics, we fight LE even in having access to our certain items. Some guys even lose their freedom in the name of personal privledge.
