Dear ListServe Subscribers,

On February 16, 2007, Representative Nita Lowey introduced H.Con.Res. 70,
which endorses May as Celiac Awareness Month, and calls for increased
federal funding for celiac research.  

Rep. Lowey was one of the lead sponsors of the Food Allergen Labeling and
Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) which requires food manufacturers to list
the top 8 allergens on their product labels.  The law also required the FDA
to set rules for using the term 'gluten-free' when labeling products. 

The American Celiac Disease Alliance applauds Rep. Lowey for her continued
efforts to raise awareness about celiac disease, and for her support of our
community. 

Ask your representative to cosponsor H.Con.Res. 70.  Email them directly by
going to the ACDA online advocacy site www.capwiz.com/celiac and entering
your zip code under "Elected Officials."  Your voice will make a difference.

Thank you!
Beth Hillson
President, American Celiac Disease Alliance
