RE: Texas H.B. 2644
Dear Texas Managers:
We recently received the information below from the Sunshine Health Freedom
Foundation. We strongly urge you to review the material enclosed and pass
the information along to your downline Members.
As mentioned in the Texas Health Freedom Alert (below), we advise you to
contact your state legislators and ask them to urge Governor Perry to veto H.B.
2644.
Thank you for your continued participation and support in the fight for
legislative freedom!
Best Regards,

Colleagues and Friends of Texas Health Freedom,
As you read this, a bill is on Governor Perry's desk that will greatly harm
the way complementary and alternative health care is delivered in Texas.
Specifically, House Bill (HB) 2644, sneaked through the legislature over
Memorial Day, will make it a crime for any health care professional to touch a
client while performing any service without a license.
We cannot allow this to stand. Here's how you, your family and your circle
of influence can help. (This advice was offered by James Jonas, our Coalition
lobbyist and one of the top lobbyists in the country. The actions are
numbered in order of priority; please ask all to do number 1. AND 2. as a minimum;
if you want to do the rest, go for it!):
1. Contact the district offices of your state senator and representative
(not members of the US Congress!). Go to
click on "Who's My Rep?" in the upper left corner for contact info. Call
each district office and ask that your state senator and representative ask Gov.
Perry to veto HB 2644 . If you like, you may read the letter text below to
the staffer you speak with, beginning with Please ask (your state rep. or
senator) to ask Gov. Perry to veto HB 2644. Then continue with the second
sentence.
2. Write a letter to Gov. Perry (preferably delivered priority mail) as
follows:
Office of the Governor
P.O. Box 12428
Austin, Texas 78711-2428.
Sample Letter
Dear Governor Perry,
I respectfully urge you to veto HB 2644. My and my family's freedom of
health care choice is as important to me as my freedom of speech. Enactment of
this deeply flawed bill would forever damage my access to complementary and
alternative health care in Texas. (If a practitioner, add: As a (fill in your
specialty), this bill would also irreparably damage my ability to offer my
services to my clients, and my ability to make a living.)
Further, I am very angry that this bill lumps reputable people (if a
practitioner: me) in the same category as known lawbreakers in a misguided attempt
to curb the lawbreakers' activities. The law abiding citizens of Texas (I)
do not deserve such shameful treatment at the hands of this state.
Please do the right thing regarding HB 2644: veto it!
Sincerely,
(Name and address)
If you live in or near Austin, hand delivering your letter has even more
impact. Gov. Perry's Capitol office address is: State Capitol, 1100 Congress,
Room 2S. 1.
3. Call Gov. Perry at (800) 252-9600 (Austin area (512) 463-1782). You may
read the text above if you wish.
4. Fax Gov. Perry the above at (512) 463-1849.
5. E-mail Gov. Perry the above from the web site at
_http://www.governor
(http://cl.exct.
cf14&t=) .
During past legislative sessions we have been able to muster a huge response
(over a third of a million inputs) to defeat bills such as this. Let's not
let the underhanded tactics of a few misguided legislators destroy health
freedom in Texas. Get this important information to ALL the people in your
circle who support our effort. We are aiming for at least this many inputs to
Gov. Perry's office by June 12th; the absolute deadline is midnight June 17th.
Thank you for your help!
