July 19, 2011<\/p>\n

At\u00a0the end of June, just before the sleepy holiday weekend news cycle,\u00a0Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) introduced\u00a0S. 1310, the Dietary Supplement Labeling Act of 2011<\/a><\/strong>. The bill responds to recent marketing tactics by unscrupulous food companies intended to circumvent Food and Drug Administration standards by imposing unnecessary and burdensome regulations on makers of dietary supplements.\u00a0Read more here.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Tell your Senators “My Supplements Are Safe” – Vote “NO” on S. 1310!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Supplements are not drugs, and therefore, deserve their own system of regulation<\/strong>\u00a0– and that’s the point.\u00a0Such a system already exists thanks to the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA)<\/strong>, and it has done a more than adequate job protecting consumers largely due to supplement companies’ compliance with, and support of, that system.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Put simply: At best, S. 1310 is a bad bill, albeit with good intentions. At worst, it uses parents’ fear about what their children are consuming as an excuse to take another crack at imposing unnecessary regulations on the dietary supplement industry, which has demonstrated time and again its ability to ensure the safety of its products.<\/p>\n

Tell Your Senators to Oppose S. 1310!<\/a>

Thank you, as always, for your participation,<\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America! You are losing your freedoms, your children and your country. Wake up and help stop it!","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/author\/dcalvin"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4654","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/403"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4654"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4654\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4669,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4654\/revisions\/4669"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/watchwomanonthewall\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
