Congressional Oversight Needed to STOP FDA's "Trilateral Cooperation Charter"

Target:
Bart Stupak, The Honorable, House Commerce Committee
Congressional Oversight Needed on FDA's Trilateral Cooperation Charter (With Canada & Mexico Intended to Force Us Into a North American Union)
Congressional Oversight Needed on FDA's Trilateral Cooperation Charter (With Canada & Mexico Intended to Force Us Into a North American Union)

The FDA is engaged in conferencing with Canada & Mexico for the purpose of creating one "harmonized" set of food & drug regulations for all 3 nations with zero INPUT from the PEOPLE of Canada, the USA, or Mexico. (See http://www.fda.gov/oia/charter.html

On what legal AUTHORITY does the FDA presume to take this action?

What they're doing clearly violates the Administrative Procedures Act, the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as well as other laws and I demand Congressional Oversight immediately to rein them in!!

This is clearly part of a planned effort to destroy America and force us into a North American Union with Canada & Mexico patterned after the EU Dictatorship. Its being scripted by the Council on Foreign Relations:http://www.cfr.org/publication/8102/building_a_north_american_community.html

Which is what prompted the Neocons to create the (so called) "Security & Prosperity Partnership of North America http://www.spp.gov

In their "SCOPE" section http://www.fda.gov/oia/charter.html#purpose�FDA says their main purpose is to focus on what they call "HEALTH FRAUD"

We all know how the FDA INTERPRETS "health fraud". Take their current vendetta against cherry growers http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2006/mar2006_cover_cherries_01.htm�

FDA is ordering Cherry growers not to repeat the story that eating foods high in plant nutrients may protect against some types of cancer and strokes (despite recommendations of the Surgeon General and the National Research Council).�

�The alleged criminal acts had occurred on Ocean Spray's website. Normally, the FDA has no authority over websites, but the company had put its website address on its products, and the agency does have authority over labels.

Incredibly, now the FDA is attempting to extend this tyranny to Canada & Mexico, while simultaneously they'll attempt to impose the WORST ASPECTS of those countries regulations on AMERICANS.

For example: Canada regulates dietary supplements as "drugs", but in the USA, under the Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act of 1994, these products are FOODS, and Americans enjoy far greater ACCESS to these products and to health information about them than Canadians do.

The last thing Americans need is the FDA unilaterally making decisions in the way that they are via the "Trilateral Cooperation Charter" without any input from Congress or the American people. Ostensibly, they would have us believe that this is all about providing us with "increased security".

WELL I'M NOT BUYING IT!!

The LAW is NOT "in the FDA's Mouth". I demand that Congress protect me from the FDA�by holding oversight hearings about this.

In 1994 the American people flooded congress with more letters, phone calls and personal visits than�you ever received in the HISTORY of congress when the Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act was passed into law. Now the FDA is attempting to DESTROY OUR COUNTRY to get around the will of the American people.�

I am communicating with both of my Senators & my congressman as well about this. I am also alerting my local paper and friends and family nationwide. Please let me know what you intend to do about this fiasco?

Stop corruption and unreasonable regulation of our food, supplements in name of greed and “safety”. Stop poisoning our nation with food that has no nutritional value!!! Look around you, the USA has the most diseased population of any industrial nation. Children, in huge and ever increasing numbers have degenerative diseases caused by the foods they eat particularly white flour, hydrogenated fats, high fructose corn syrup and genetically modified foods. ! If you must regulate, stop stores from selling highly processed food with no nutritional value and lots of chemicals and genetically modified ingredients, which are already banned in Europe and many other foreign countries. Unfortunately disease and human suffering is very profitable for large corporations. Please be a part of the remedy not part of the corrupt problem! Make the FDA a regulatory agency for the people, by the people and not for the big corporations!!!

STOP the Codex, STOP the insanity! The new Government is allowing the female individual to be "Pro Choice" - making a decision to either take or give life to the child she is carrying. So where is our "Pro Choice" choice when it comes to Vitamins, health, food, etc.? This Codex is not about the "safety of the consumer", just like the "Pro Choice" abortion is not about keeping pregnancies intact. It is designed to take life. Woe unto you!

As a citizen of the United States who supported Barack Obama's message of change, I am appalled that he would appoint a former Monsanto associate like Tom Vilsack as Secretary of Agriculture. This is an atrocity against the American people and the World. As one voice among many, I demand that Congress and President Obama address this issue in an honest and transparent fashion to the American people immediately once the new session starts and put a end to the Codex Alimentarius Commission's poisoning of the US and World food supply.

Why is it that an average citizen (like myself) isn't included in the major decisions and processes regarding what food and nutrients we can buy? For that matter, why should it take several hours of research on the internet, sifting through the misleading maze, before one realizes one isn't included? Answer? Serfs don't make decisions for themselves.

we need to expand all our supplements, because of the posoning of our food. We need to boycott ALL prescription drugs, because they are the leading cause of death in this world.

Please clean up the FDA. There are good, well-meaning scientists there whose hands are tied by the corrupt officials at the top. I've seen the list of candidates slated to replace von Eshenbach. They are no better. Please look for other candidates. Big Pharm is killing innocent people and the FDA is aiding and abetting them. FDA needs to keep its hands off natural supplements.

I got my blood lipid profile to a normal range using alternative and natural therapies, and I have medical evidence. Conventional medicine does a good job with diagnosis and trauma, but did not offer me medical treatment to reverse my disorders. It was my choice to reverse my disorders and I have the natural Right to choose the type of therapy that works for me. I've proven that natural therapies can reverse disorders, and the cost was much less than the costly allopathic remedies that only treat the symptoms. Denis Lyszkowski

Please abolish the FDA - clean house and appoint scientists who do not receive $$$ from the chemical, pharma industries or the AMA, ADA, or any other corrupt medical trade union. For once, put American citizens health FIRST not the bloated profits of corp america. People are dying - end this madness!
