Dear liberty activist,
High-paid lobbyists and special-interest groups are working feverishly to
make us live by their rules; their definition of privacy. Only in
Washington do words loose their meaning and, often times, start to mean
the exact opposite. The so-called "medical privacy rule"
recently
adopted by the federal government gives us less privacy - not more. This
new, 367-page-tiny-print regulation actually gives us less access and
control of our own medical records while giving federal, state, and local
governmental agencies - including law enforcement and research
organizations, along with insurance companies, HMOs, drug companies,
marketing companies and others - greater access and more control of our
personal medical records.
It's now time for average citizens to have their say. H. J. Res. 38 -
"The Medical Privacy Protection Resolution" was submitted this
morning by Congressman Ron Paul, a practicing physician for over 30 years.
Dr. Paul's resolution, if passed and signed into law, would repeal the
Department of Health and Human Services so-called "medical privacy
rule." The resolution will be considered under the Congressional
Review Act of 1996 that allows Congress to repeal a federal agency's
regulation on an expedited basis.
Please urge your U.S. representative to cosponsor H. J. Res. 38 today.
Remember, the regulation is scheduled to go into effect next month - April
14th. Click the following link to send your message:

Please act today as you did twice last year when you helped stop the
"unique health identifier" mandated by H.I.P.A.A. Now we need
stop this 367-page invasion of our personal medical records. H. J. Res. 38
will do it, but only with quick action by you and your representative.
Take action now. Go to
