Hi folks - go see rks' post in Activism about saving our supplements - we're supposed to contact our congressional reps today to let them know we do not want Codex! That we want to continue to be able to access our supplements, including vitamins, minerals, juices, etc.
If we lose access to supplements, we are going to have some very serious medical questions here, as in how will we survive. That's why I'm posting this here.

Thx, Lymetoo!! It was really easy to do - just google for the contact info for your Congressional reps and contact them. I just called my three.
They always count contacts higher than just our one call. I've heard one quote that each contact is considered the equivalent of 13,000 others who feel the same way.
September 8 is the national call-in day for this issue. And of course we'll all be watching it throughout the course of 5 bad bills entered to try to end our access to supplements!

Lymetoo - any legislation will go to both House and Senate - so I called everyone.
Thx, Abx - and also thx to those who posted in the Activism post -
We'll have to stay on top of this topic, as I believe most of us take supplements, right? None of us want to wake up one day and find out our access to them is gone -
nope, the time is now, to be watching, to be advocating, to be working with the rest of the 2/3s Americans who take supplements!!
The activism post on saving supplements has good links.

Yes, sounds hopeful to me too. What a good idea, having the reps who originally wrote the 1994 DSHEA legislation protecting supplements be the ones to campaign for continued protection.
It also really matters that everyone speaks up - then our reps can go to them saying that everyone's speaking up. So never underestimate the value of your communication on an issue like this one.
