Stop Andro Ban! Act Now!!!

[javaguru]

I would also like to point out that the bill also allocates 42.5 million dollars over the next three years for anti-steroid, not just pro-hormone, propaganda. Likewise, with the heightened awareness toward steroids the DEA may be forced to place steroids on its high priority list. So just because you think OTC steroids are crap and use the "real" stuff doesn't mean this bill won't affect you.

Also, this bill grants the Attorney General overly broad administrative authority to ban any precursor of a banned substance arbitrarily without approval of congress. Taken to its ridiculously logical conclusion one man could hypothetically ban everything containing cholesterol since it can eventually be converted into a banned substance. As an American citizen this kind of power in the hands of one person should greatly concern you.

I would also like to add that you should also print out the letter and snail mail it to your congressman. It's an established fact that written letters are given MUCH more weight than a simple e-mail.

bump!

It also annoys the hell out of me to hear them characterize steroids as some epidemic health risk among teenagers and children. WTF, their number one health risk is all the damn junk food that's marketed directly at them. Maybe congress should spend its time banning trans fatty acids but that would hurt their bottom line of course.

Andro is banned in Canada and we learned to live without that crap. We just stick to good Ol' roids....

The government says it is banning this stuff to protect against it's harmful affects? So they take PH's off the shelf, then they grab Ephedrine because of all the health risks associated with it, soon creatine and so on. Has any ever looked a little deeper into this? Think about it, all of the products listed above make no money for the government! So they ban them and soon we will see perscriptions for andro, ephedrine and other supplements that we should have the right by with out perscriptions. Now if these products are so dangerous and so harmful then by all means support your allegations and ban them. But with the ban on supplements, ban Tobacco and Alcohol! It disgusts me to see these extremely dangerous products still on the market after we have see what they do to people! The government should look at the real dangers in society first, then look to supplements! They will never do that though, Alcohol and Tobacco, while killing millions every year, stuff our government leaders pockets with cash! This bill is just another way for our government to reach in and choke the freedom out of our lives while putting up the front to the public that they are doing this for our own good.

For an "anti-drug" nation, we sure do make a pretty penny off the sale of drugs!

USFA.biz is the offical site that has been created to lobby against the PH bill. If you really want to make an impact you need to snail mail these guys. The email accounts accept 90% of mail as spam and nothing more. Real mail can have an impact. If you go the the site you'll be able to enter you info and have a letter template choosen and printed off. Spend the money for the stamps, it will have more of an impact. Any help is better than nothing.

I see what you're saying Trenimator.

IMO, though, this won't really change anything. Think about all the illegal things you get easily, and safely.

Famous last words. Things may be free and easy now, but when they crack down, and they WILL eventually crack down, they are not gonna be gentle. The times they are a changin.....

I guarantee you that this propaganda will include attacks on other sports supplements, creatine in particular. Scare tactics and lies. YOu really think they are gonna be satiated when they lock prohormones up? NO, their appetite is only gonna be whetted for more
