Jonathan Emord, constitutional lawyer and activist, went on Coast to Coast AM radio on July 3rd, 2013 to sound the alarm about legislation intended to restrict your access to supplements. He said that Senator Dick Durbin intended to re-introduce legislation giving the FDA a pretext to restrict access to supplements. The regulations would be impossible to follow. The FDA which is captive to the drug companies would use them to shut down supplement companies. Monkeying with the regulation process is the drug companies preferred method of trying to get rid of their competition lately. If we can find out which drug company is most responsible, we can boycott them. They need some consequences.
To stop this bad legislation, contract your representatives in Congress and the President. This bill was called Dietary Supplement Labeling Act of 2011, S. 1310 before. It was defeated. Apparently Senator Durbin is reintroducing it, according to both Mr. Emord and the site below NaturalHealth365. I don't doubt it.

When contacting your elected representatives, a snail mail letter or a phone call has more impact than an email. They get so many emails that it isn't clear that they even read them anymore.
