PRESS RELEASE
LEGISLATION NEEDING YOUR ACTION
February 24, 2009
GET YOUR STATE SENATORS
TO SPONSOR A BILL TO BAN ASPARTAME
HAWAII & NEW MEXICO ARE LEADING THE WAY
ACT NOW
NHF member, Dr. Betty Martini, Founder of Mission Impossible International, and Stephen Fox, Editor of the New Mexico Sun News, are currently working with people in the States of New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Illinois to accomplish just this. The bill is now written and Dr. Martini and Stephen Fox have written the resolution. Stephen Fox wrote the important legislation to ban aspartame for both the Hawaii and New Mexico Senate.
In Stephen's words, this legislation was "overwhelmed by corporate lobbyists (eviscerated, might be the better word....), which led to a Hawaii Senate Concurrent Resolution 191, which genteelly but firmly asked the FDA to rescind the approval for aspartame, and gave about 40 reasons to do so. It can be read at the Hawaiian Legislature’s website, as SCR 191. This resolution will be sponsored again in 2009 by Senator Suzanne Chun-Oakland in Hawaii, and by New Mexico Senator Gerald Ortiz y Pino. The corporate lobbyists will be out in droves and out for blood, this time . . . ."

The following Sample Letter below, including a link to the bill, was sent to a New York Senator by a constituent trying to get aspartame banned in New York State at this time.
To: mailto:mhicks@senate.state.ny.us
Dear Senator Marcellino
As a resident of Glen Cove and concerned constituent, please consider the following request...
Improve Our Health! It should cost no money to ban aspartame in New York.
In fact, New Yorkers can save millions of dollars in healthcare costs because aspartame toxicity can cause diabetes, obesity, psychiatric problems, and sudden cardiac death.
Please sponsor a bill or resolution that will ban aspartame in New York.
Here are some other States leading the way...
* STATE OF NEW MEXICO - SENATE MEMORIAL 9

In Hawaii, Representative Mele Carroll is sponsoring a bill to ban aspartame as HB 669, as is Senator Kalani English sponsoring an almost identical SB 576, because aspartame is a neurotoxic and carinogenic substance.
You can help New York residents lead the country by supporting these consumer protection efforts.
Thank you
