As our bill moves through the legislative process, the next step is to ensure strong support at the bill’s hearing.  We’ve secured sponsor and co-sponsors for our bill, filed it, and are currently educating senators and representatives about it.  Supporters for the legislation have called and written to voice their support.  Now it is time to publicly speak up for health freedom.

Over the coming weeks, the Joint Committee on Public Health is likely to call a public hearing on the bill.  At that public meeting, they will hear arguments for and against the bill.  In preparation for the hearing, we are looking to galvanize support for the bill through powerful personal testimonials.  These personal stories can be delivered orally or in writing.  Oral testimony is limited to 2 minutes in length (about 300 words).  Written documents can be longer. 

A wide variety of stories is needed:

• Testimonials by clients
• Successes seen as a practitioner
• Healing through different modalities – Reiki, Healing Touch, Polarity, Qigong, Alexander Technique, Yoga, Guided Meditation, Homeopathy, Herbs, and more
• Reduction in PTSD
• Management of pain
• Elimination of prescription drugs
• Recovery from addiction
• Convenience of having tens of thousands of practitioners to choose from already safely practicing in the state
• Testimony about preserving cultural traditions in healing through alternative medicine including diverse traditions and age-old wisdom

Include with each testimony: 

   Name

   Professional affiliation, if applicable

   Street Address, Town, State and Zip

   Telephone Number and Email Address

   Your request for the support of S665/H3660
