Consumers Union [mailto:newsletter@cu.consumer.org] <br>Sent: Thursday, September 28, 2006 8:34 AM<br>To: <br>Subject: Spinach, what to do?<br><br>ConsumerLine<br>from the nonprofit publisher of Consumer Reports<br><br>Dear Saundra,<br><br>Lawmakers will soon hit the campaign trail, hoping for your vote in<br>November, and they will be talking a lot about security. And yet, some of<br>the ID theft bills under consideration actually make us less secure. <br><br>Simple, common sense reforms can prevent thieves from opening new credit<br>accounts in our good names. These reforms make each one of us more<br>secure--and by doing so make us all more secure. Consumers Union is making a<br>pre-election push to support privacy legislation. Tell lawmakers today to<br>make strong identity protections a priority, both on the campaign trail and<br>when they return to Washington.<br>http://cu.convio.net/site/R?i=gON8ThPwvso4bTgfYX83VQ..<br><br>Thank you,<br>Minerva Novoa,<br>Internet
Advocacy Coordinator <br><br>E.Coli in Spinach: Protect food safety laws News that more than 150 people<br>have fallen ill from fresh spinach contaminated with E. coli bacteria<br>highlights the need for the government to do MORE to protect the safety of<br>our food. But Congress instead proposes to do away with more than 200<br>critical state laws that protect the safety of our food. Tell your Senators<br>to oppose the Food Uniformity bill.<br>http://cu.convio.net/site/R?i=AOq3DJSeAy4NfW-1G0aRnw.. <br><br>Fix the broken drug safety system! <br>A blue-ribbon panel of doctors and scientists--The Institute of<br>Medicine--just released a scathing report on our nation's drug safety<br>system, and urged major changes to fix our broken system. Several bipartisan<br>bills sitting in Congress do just that but they haven't had hearings. Tell<br>Congress to stand up to the pharmaceutical industry and pass strong drug<br>safety legislation
now.<br>http://cu.convio.net/site/R?i=nBGloQGgkLhrGxtj44YYVg.. <br><br>FCC covers up publicly funded reports<br>The Federal Communications Commission is reported to have either destroyed<br>or hidden at least two studies that would have undermined the FCC's<br>reasoning for loosening media ownership rules. Tell the FCC such underhanded<br>tactics are unacceptable. We need independent media!<br>http://cu.convio.net/site/R?i=9JINWwfLeVh1DtFQT3OFAg.. <br><br>You took to the streets! <br>More than 400,000 strong, you became a movement and you saw results. This<br>year you passed strong identity theft reforms in more than a dozen states,<br>and helped end the secrecy surrounding dangerous hospital-acquired<br>infections. Thanks to you, millions living in California can look forward to<br>lower prescription drug prices. Your visits to lawmakers' offices at home<br>and in D.C., your calls, letters and emails, and your passion for these<br>important goals made the difference!
