For those who have sent letters, or who want to do something more
'personal',  how about making a toll-free call to your Representative.

Call (800) 985-8762  OR (800) 839-5276 to reach the U.S. Capitol
Switchboard.

Ask to speak to your Member of Congress.  If you don't know who that
person is, go to www.capwiz.com/celiac and enter your zipcode.

When you reach the Representative's office, ask to speak to the Health
Legislative Assistant.   Tell the staffer you want the Member's support
for H.R. 3684, the "Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act"
(FALCPA)

Explain why the bill is important to you.

--  Be sure to mention the FDA supports this legislation!  It has
already issued 2 press releases supporting the Senate version
(incorporated in S. 741).

  -- You can note that companies will have to re-label products by Jan.
2006, in order to comply with the new rules on trans-fats.  It will
save $$ to do all re-labeling at one time.

 -- Finally, a number of food manufacturers have told us they support
the bill because it will save them money in customer service calls.


Push the the House -- Pass H.R. 3684 in 2004!
