URGENT - Senate to vote MONDAY on S1082 - this is NOT the FDA Guideline issue

[Carol Boyce]

Hi Shannon,

I'm really glad to get your email - I was thinking I was going a little crazy since no one seems to be responding .....the FDA Guidelines issue really did distract everyone - so from their POV mission accomplished.....

Yes phone calls carry more weight if you can get thru to your Senators - you can get the numbers from :

(http://www.senate. gov)
"choose your state and their names and web pages will appear. All senators can be contacted at 202-224-3121, the congressional switchboard, ask to be connected to your senators.Ask your senators to oppose S.1082, the FDA Revitalization Act.
It would endanger the Dietary Supplement Health Education Act (DSHEA) by authorizing Risk assessment, prohibited by DSHEA. It claims to deal with needed prescription drug safety, by requiring reports of ALL clinical trials to FDA, BUT FDA DOES NOT HAVE TO
DISCLOSE those results to the public!! And even those states that require reports of clinical trials cannot do that any longer."

I am not an expert on the Senate etc tho rapidly becoming much better informed! Will get back to you on your other questions as soon as I can or maybe someone else can enlighten?

Thanks,

Carol
