Only Two Days Left to Save Your Medical Privacy!

June 13, 2001 Volume 4, Issue 4

If Congress doesn’t pass Ron Paul’s (R-TX) "Medical Privacy Protection Resolution" (H.J. Res. 38) by June 15, Clinton’s last minute medical regulations will become law and your most sensitive medical information will be privy to federal bureaucrats. Rep. Paul’s bill states that the Clinton medical rules would "have no force or effect," thus nullifying these privacy-stealing regulations. More specifically, if H.J. Res. 38 is NOT passed by this Friday, here’s what will happen:

Your physician will be forced to turn over your confidential medical records to the federal government.

Your sensitive medical information will be stored on a massive federal database to be viewed by various government agencies without your permission.

Third parties, such as insurance companies and drug companies will have access to your records.

You will be given a "health code identifier" to carry with you from cradle to grave.

Quite simply, Hillary Clinton’s grand vision for a national, socialized healthcare system will be well in the works. It is ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE that Congress pass H.J. Res. 38. YOU HAVE TWO DAYS TO SAVE YOUR MEDICAL PRIVACY!

**Action to Take**

1. Call your Representative and urge him to support H.J. Res. 38 and to help get it passed by June 15! Capitol Hill House Switchboard: (202) 225-3121.

2. Call, fax and email Speaker of the House, Dennis Hastert, and urge him to call for a vote on H.J. Res. 38 right away so that Clinton’s regulations might be repealed! Phone: (202) 225-2976. Fax: (202) 225-0697. Email: dhastert@mail.house.gov

CARA is Back and Property Rights are in Serious Danger

Although property rights advocates were successful last year in derailing H.R. 701, the Conservation and Reinvestment Act (CARA), by passing a less harmful compromise, the pork-barrel monster is back.

The House Resources Committee is set to have hearings on the $45 billion, land-grab trust fund on June 20th. But these hearings aren’t to be conducted fairly. The new chairman of the Resources Committee, Rep. Jim Hansen (R-UT), is shutting out CARA opponents and property rights advocates from having their voices heard. Rep. Hanson is also a co-sponsor of CARA.

Our sources tell us that after this hearing on June 20 there will be very little time before CARA is voted on in the Resources Committee. That means we need to begin putting pressure on Congress NOW. If CARA becomes law, the federal government will have almost unlimited funds to snatch up property and bar access to public lands. This could be the biggest blow to property rights in America to date.

**Action to Take**

1. Call your Representative and urge him or her to oppose CARA! Capitol Hill House Switchboard: (202) 225-3121.

2. Call Rep. Jim Hansen and tell him to allow open, honest and fair hearings on CARA. Tell him not to bar property rights advocates from voicing their opposition to this horrendous bill. Rep. Hanson’s phone number: (202) 225-0453.
