Anonymous Coward 12/08/2005 10:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Bill S722 introduced by Bill Durbin (D-IL). was sent to committee on 3/26/03. Bills with no chance to pass are sent to committee to die and so far it has not be resurected. HR 3377 introduced by Susan Davis (D-CA) Has had no action taken on it since October 28th 2003. Hopefully this one will die too. |

The pharma companies are running this nation not the people. Polly, I haven´t seen Blue Sage around in a while...have you heard from him? Is he and his family okay? |

(OP) 12/08/2005 10:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This all stems from hoax emails. Both bills died in the last Congress--never got out of Committee. Very small probability that any will be reintroduced in the current Congress--the supplement industry (the REAL big pharma) owns too many Senators and Reps. for this to happen. See the full details of this tempest in a crap bucket at www.snopes.com (Urban legends site). Search on Codex and the whole story will come up. And don´t see it´s out of date--nothing has happened since their last update on 2/15/2005. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 58153 United States 12/29/2005 10:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I understand that those two bills are dead. But it doesn't mean that something like them won't be reintroduced if big pharma thinks they can push it through. For those of us with yards or garden space, can it hurt to get our hands on some non-hybrid, even heirloom herb seeds and toss them out into the dirt? See what grows in your neck of the woods and what doesn't. |
