Rep. Ed Merkey and the FDA is trying to take away your right to choose what pills you buy over the counter, and what services you employ with your own money

Not sure if this has much of a chance of getting anywhere. That said, the FDA and all the other regulating government bureaucracies need to go fuck themselves and stop telling people what they can and can't do to themselves.
This comment was worded poorly. I meant to say the draft itself will most likely be lost in the bullshit shuffle; attempts to contact congressmen and the like is worth the effort whether they listen or not.
I also used 'themselves' twice and confused myself :(
If it was a quality control bill that would check to make sure what companies are putting what they say into their products, then that would be a helpful bill to the people. This just puts a nanny in charge of everyone telling them what they can or can't buy because the government hasn't done tests on the products.
The only person that's going to get harmed taking a supplement not tested is the person taking it...no one else. I think it should be up to them to take a chance on whatever alternative medicine they want to.
I wouldn't doubt if drug company and insurance lobbyists were behind this.
