This week Congressman Ron Paul introduced three bills that you may wish to review and write your government
representatives about.
These three Bills were introduced in an effort to;
a. Restore a more Constitutional-oriented government,
b. Put an end to Food and Drug Administration (FDA or USFDA) censorship of health claims,
c. Put an end to Federal Trade Commission (FTC) censorship of health information.
HR 3396: The Congressional Responsibility and Accountability Act.
Note: To view the Bill go to: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.3396
Going right to the core of the many problems created by vested interests and political fanaticism, this bill prohibits
regulations that are formulated by regulatory agencies from going into effect unless they are fully passed into law by
the US Congress in the way in which the US Constitution designates.
Under Article I of the Constitution, the Congress of the United States, our elected representatives, are the ones
given the exclusive power to make laws. In violation of the non-delegation doctrine, nearly 90% of all laws created
by the federal government are the product of unelected heads of bureaucratic agencies, not our elected
representatives.
From 1934 to the present, the Congress of the United States has delegated executive, legislative, and judicial
governing power to these agencies. The founding fathers warned that this combination would give birth to tyranny,
self-dealing, and corruption and would be the death of liberty. Because the unelected bureaucracy makes the laws,
the nation has been transformed from a republic into a series of bureaucratic governing bodies.
Congressman Ron Paul’s Congressional Responsibility and Accountability Act restores constitutional government
by returning to Congress the responsibility to make laws, thereby making them once again accountable for the laws
to those who elect them.
HR 3395: The Health Freedom Act.
Note: To view the Bill go to: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.3395
This bill removes the Food and Drug Administration’s power of prior restraint over all nutrient-disease relationship
claims.
Under the bill, the FDA may not prohibit any statement concerning a nutrient affecting a disease (including treatment effects) from being
made in the market and may only act against a statement once made if it possesses clear and convincing evidence that the statement is
false.
Presently the FDA blocks an enormous quantity of truthful information concerning the effects of nutrients and foods on disease from
reaching consumers. That barrier is removed by the Health Freedom Act, but the Act preserves the power of the government to prosecute
those who communicate falsehood.
The essential purpose of the First Amendment is to disarm the federal government of the power to impose a prior restraint on speech. The
FDA has imposed a prior restraint for decades to the health detriment of the public. Passage of the Health Freedom Act will restore
constitutional governance by reasserting the supremacy of the First Amendment over the Food and Drug Administration.
HR 3394: The Health Information Protection Act.
Note: Copy of Bill not yet available
This bill prevents the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from taking action against an advertiser that communicates a health benefit for a
product unless the FTC first establishes, based on clear and convincing evidence, that the statement made is false and that its
communication causes harm to the public.
Presently, the FTC reverses the Fifth Amendment burden of proof on the government when it charges advertisers with deceptive
advertising and then demands that they prove their speech true based on contemporaneously held documentation or be deemed to have
advertised deceptively.
The Fifth Amendment requires that FTC bear the burden of proving advertising deceptive. It may not constitutionally shift the burden to the
advertiser to prove its statements not deceptive. The First Amendment requires that FTC not act against speech unless the speech is
probably false. It may not constitutionally accuse a party of false advertising yet lack proof that the advertising is false and condemn
advertising based on an absence of documentation concerning the truth of the statement rather than the presence of evidence establishing
the falsity of the statement.
