| WE CAN TAKE HEALTH FREEDOM MAINSTREAM IF YOU ACT NOW! PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL AS WIDELY AS YOU CAN The Good, the Bad, First, the Good
Health Freedom Scorecard Already Having An Impact! More faxes needed! Natural Solutions Foundation supporters have been flooding the Presidential hopefuls' campaign office faxes with copies of the Health Freedom Scorecard , Obama's Campaign Responds First, Sort Of Read what Senator Barak Obama's Campaign has to say with just the first wave of emails hitting their faxes: This is a real, unedited email I received last night. Dr. Laibow, We've recently received your Presidential Health Freedom Score Card. Thank you for your interest in the campaign and Senator Obama's position on health issues. I assure you we'll pass the message along to our policy team. In the meantime please stop faxing us copies of the scorecard. We want to respond to the policy clarification requests that healthfreedomusa.org is sending to us, but our whole correspondence system is based on e-mail. Please get in touch with Harry Kruglik, our correspondence chief, for the best method to get in touch with us. I'd hate to see this relationship facilitate the needless waste of more paper (literally, reams of paper printed on both sides) as we strive on this campaign to be environmentally conscious and conscientious. Thank you for your interest once again. As an aside, I had not actually realized that I was a 'customer' requiring service in the eyes of a Presidential campaign, but I guess every campaign is selling us something, hoping we will buy, aren't they? Here is my response to the Obama campaign email: Dear Robert, We can change from a fax to an email correspondence if you like (and I do appreciate your concern with paper and ink - I share it very strongly!). The reason that you are getting faxes, in fact, is that when our research team went to your campaign site contact page, http://my.barackobama.com/page Thanks for your response! As soon as the Obama campaign sends us his answers to the questions in the Health Freedom Score Card (and his Health Freedom plank when that is available) we will gladly circulate it as widely as we can! You see, Sen. Obama, along with 15 out of the 16 Presidential hopefuls, did not think our issue, Health Freedom, was important enough to have a policy on or a plank for his campaign about before he tossed his hat into the Presidential arena. Wrong
It's a critically important issue. We CAN make it important to every member of the Presidential playing field and, by doing that, take the discussion mainstream IF we seize the moment take action NOW. The Bad Like many problems, this one is not all bad and actually has a good side to it. The good side is that we've sent off 39,626 faxes to Presidential campaigns. About 1% of our supporters have taken the necessary moment to send these faxes (and where we have them, emails). The bad side is that the donations to pay for this expensive way of communicating have not kept pace with the cost. So, if you have already donated to help defray these costs, thank you but, if not, please do two things:First, send the Health Freedom Scorecard (http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizationsORG/healthfreedomusa/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=13881 ) right now. Second, make a generous tax deductible donation (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=189) right now, too. If you can, consider a recurring donation. Click here (http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php/?page_id=190) for an explanation of what your donations cover and why we need them so urgently. Going out on a financial limb like this is pretty worrisome, but I know, and trust, this community and I believe that your best instincts will come through. In fact, if every person interested in this vital area donated as little as $5 per month, we would never have to ask you for money again! More would be nice, but just a recurring donation of $5 per month would be enough to take care of our campaign needs to win the health freedom battle here and abroad! I know that you will consider just how personal the Health Freedom battle is for you and give generously. By the way, all donations of $100 or more in round numbers (e.g., $200, $500, $10,000) will be counted toward support for our full length DVD, "Murder by the Numbers: the Codex Agenda" and we'll acknowledge your generosity in the DVD! We need 1500 people to give $100 each. Right now, 47 people have stepped up to fund this film. We need you. Up until now, only one candidate has said a word about Health Freedom. We thank him for that and appreciate the strong support that Dr. Ron Paul (R-TX) gives Health Freedom. Just one voice, though, out of 16 is just not acceptable. Big Pharma won't put it there so it's up to us to get this issue into the mainstream. Tomorrow we'll do "the Ugly" in Part II. Watch for it in your email box. Oh, and don't forget to email Part I and Part II to your entire list with a short note at the top of your emails asking them to send the Health Freedom Scorecard and sign up for Heath Freedom Action Alerts at www.HealthFreedomUSA.org. Thanks for your activism!
