My Growing Libertarian Lobbying Practice

My fellow Zaadzers,
Sat nam!
How fortunate I am that my business plan is working. I now have three lobbying clients who need my help to get Big Brother off of their back. In the Aquarian Age we're entering, we all need to rise above the temptation to use coercion to control others, and use education and freedom instead. A beautiful world of peace and prosperity awaits if we follow the libertarian and yoga paths.
One client even was asked to testify, July 12 in front of the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Crime, whose Chairman is Bobby Scott and whose Ranking Minority Member is Randy Forbes. Siobhan Reynolds of the Pain Relief Network moved the subcommittee with her description of how hard it is for the 20% of Americans in searing, long-term pain to get opioid relief, which is the kind of relief humans want when in such pain, because the Drug War that so many misinformed humans support is allowing the DEA and DOJ to persecute doctors - the best in the field - for following their Hippocratic Oaths in giving opioid relief to patients.
Chairman Scott expressed interest in introducing legislation to solidify the "safe harbor" that was intended in the Controlled Substances Act, to ensure that doctors with DEA registrations to prescribe opioids, are immune from prosecution, unless State Medical Boards choose to prosecute them for "drug dealing." Passing such a law would end the pain undertreatment epidemic, as discussed in the New York Times blog of John Tierney: http://tierneylab.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/07/13/a-win-for-dr-hurwitz-a-loss-for-the-pill-counters/. And PRN's site is www.PainReliefNetwork.org. Unfortunately, the Senate Judiciary Committee this Tuesday will hold a hearing on the dangerse of an opioid, Oxycontin, falsely blamed for the deaths of drug abusers and those whose deaths are later usually attributed to misusing the drug, other misbehaviors or unrelated health conditions. PRN has a long education campaign lying in wait.
My second client, the Natural Solutions Foundation, is working with Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions members Orrin Hatch and Richard Durbin, to protect DSHEA-governed supplements from FDA overregulation, in a pending FDA Revitalization Act. Dr. Rima Laibow and "vitamin lawyer" Ralph Fucetola also are engaging the public in a huge grassroots campaign to stop FDA Guidances that could eliminate sufficiently-high doses in supplements. You can join this grassroots campaign by clicking onto their site, www.GlobalHealthFreedom.org.
Finally, I have the honor of representing kind people who care about tortured animals. 2/3 of Americans in a Gallup and Zogby poll said they want assurance that animals in farms and labs are well taken care of. Unfortunately, no information is getting out to the public on animal mistreatment, because no one is handing out leaflets or engaging in boycotts against animal farms, medical labs or supermarkets, since Congress' passage last Fall of the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act. That's because if anything you do causes profit loss to any enterprise dealing with animal products, or any business or person dealing with such businesses, such protester could be fined, jailed, labeled a "terrorist," and subject to wiretapping. How fascist! And to think Sinclair Lewis wrote in 1936, "It Can't Happen Here!" The Equal Justice Alliance, the name of the client, is educating Members, hoping for legislation to repeal the offending law.
I want more clients, but they have to represent groups persecuted by unConstitutional laws. Immigrants, for example, are facing horrible scapegoating by a public ignorant of the intent of the Founders, who wanted no immigration interference. Read Becky Akers' article from the Foundation for Economic Education to learn more about that issue.
Recently I also engaged in grassroots assistance for the Kind-Flake Amendment to cut Farm Subsidies to corn and soy, which would make life more expensive for animal farm factories and slaugherhouses. Cutting Big Agribusiness subsidies also would help poor farmers overseas, so it's a great gift to the world.
Finally, I wrote my Delegate here in D.C., urging her vote for the Hinchey/Rohrabacher amendment to prohibit DEA/DOJ persecution of medical marijuana users in states that have legalized such medicine. The amendment lost, because just as with the pain medicine issue on opioids, politicians are scared of appearing weak on "crime."
I welcome comments and questions on politics.
Blessings,
