The House Energy and Commerce Committee will soon vote on H.R. 3684,
the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA).
The bill has STRONG bipartisan support. Its companion, S. 741, was
passed unanimously by the Senate in March, and has been
enthusiastically endorsed by Secretary of HHS, Tommy Thompson.
The Food Manufacturers are now scrambling to weaken the bill and delay
the effective date of January 1, 2006.
We can't let that happen!
TAKE ACTION NOW -- go to www.capwiz.com/celiac
Send an e-letter to your Representative urging H.R. 3684 be passed with
the 2006 effective date.
Feel like getting personal? Call the Capitol Switchboard (800)
839-5276 and ask for your Representative's office. If you don't know
your member, go to "Elected Officials" at link above, and enter your
zip code.
It's time to show our strength !!
