Success! Waxman's Anti-Supplement Measure Excluded From Senate " Wall

St. Reform " Bill!

But Fight Is Not Over

On Thursday, May 19, the Senate held their final vote on the Wall Street

" Reform " Act. We are pleased to report that the anti-supplement provision

drafted by Congressman Henry A. Waxman (D-CA), and included in the House bill,

which would have expanded the authority of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC),

was not included in the final version of the Senate bill - the provision had

suddenly become " too controversial " !

This victory was largely due to you, our supporters, who flooded Senate

offices with thousands of e-mails and phone calls. Thank you! This is proof once

again that when you make your voice clearly heard, legislators listen.

But the fight isn't over yet.

Now's the time to let your senators and congressional representatives know

that you want them to tell the conference committee to remove the FTC powers

expansion language currently in the House version of the bill from the final

version of the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. As we noted

earlier, this could be a devastating piece of legislation for anyone who uses

dietary supplements. Please TAKE ACTION immediately! We've made so much progress

- we need to redouble our efforts now!

Please note: Senate Conferees were just named. They are Dodd

(D-Connecticut); Shelby (R-Alabama); (D-South Dakota); (D-Rhode

Island); Schumer (D-New York); Corker (R-Tennessee); Crapo (R-Idaho); and Gregg

(R-New Hampshire).

Also appointed as negotiators are Senators Lincoln (D-Arkansas); Chambliss

(R-Georgia); Leahy (D-Vermont); and Harkin (D-Iowa).

If any of these Senate Conferees or negotiators are from your state, it's

critical you TAKE ACTION immediately!

There could not be a worse bunch of legislators than those mentioned

above.

I count six as downright 'owned' by Corporate America and perhaps all of

them, so become even stronger and let everyone know, all the leadership of both

parties, that they will pay a price for stealing our health.
