(URGENT ACTION SEPTEMBER 29 & 30)
The fate of Kratom depends on your action(or non-action).
The fight to keep Kratom legal has been going better than expected.
On just 5 days notice, 50+ Congressmen signed the Pocan/Salmon Dear Colleague letter to keep Kratom legal, but OUR BIGGEST WIN was made official on Thursday, September 28th.
High ranking Senator, a lifetime champion for dietary supplements, Orrin Hatch (R-UT) is backing our effort to keep Kratom legal.
He has drafted the "Hatch Dear Colleague Letter" which will be on your Senator's desk on September 29th. Like Pocan/Salmon, Senator Hatch is calling for an immediate halt to the ban. Senator Hatch has stood up to fight FDA overreach and overregulation of dietary supplements for over 20 years.
This could not be a more powerful, more informed Senator standing with us.
Hatch is a giant.
In just over 3 weeks, we have gotten two Dear Colleague Letters drafted to both the House and Senate. It usually takes MONTHS to even get consideration - let alone a champion to draft a letter.
Senator Hatch WOULD NOT have drafted his Dear Colleague letter if our Pocan/Salmon campaign was a flop.
We could not be in a better position right now.
But -
WE NEED TO GET AS MANY SENATORS AS POSSIBLE TO SIGN THE HATCH LETTER IN 2 DAYS.
