"In 1994 and again in 1996 (as related in chapter 4), the Cancer Prevention Coalition and the New York Center for constitutional rights, endorsed by the Ovarian Cancer Early Detection and Prevention Program and leading scientists, submitted a Citizen's Petition to the FDA demanding that talc genital dusting powder be labeled with an explicit cancer warning. The FDA inexplicably denied the petition." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"It would be far safer, as well as more consistent with constitutional rights, to rely on the criminal justice system to determine how long dangerous individuals should remain incarcerated and how they should be monitored after release. My own patients have told me that they feel more able to talk with me about their painful and "crazy" feelings because I will never lock them up. In the meanwhile, in forty years of private practice, none of my patients has committed suicide or seriously harmed another person during treatment with me." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Several states have passed laws that basically give corporations the same constitutional rights as the individual. Hoping to extend these rights, a proposal has been put forth that would request Congress to enact a bill to "hold harmless" the FDA and the pharmaceuticals in cases where approved drugs have been determined to cause death, assault on the human body, or other ancillary damages. In essence, the pharmaceutical corporations alone hope for all the rights of citizenship while being bound by none of the concomitant responsibilities." - Brent Hoadley, Ph.D., Too Profitable to Cure (Get the book.)

"In Arizona, because a shield law would violate the state constitution, legislators had to construct a special defense that could be raised by a food-industry defendant only after a citizen exercised his or her constitutional rights to go to court. The present spate of "anti-obesity" shield laws is not the first time the food industry has managed to force protective but likely unconstitutional laws onto the books." - Michele Simon, Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back (Get the book.)

"Justice Judd Black wrote for the 6-1 court, "You have a right not to be dragged through the courts because you exercised your constitutional rights." In his letter, Mr. Finkelberg said that his firm had been retained the day prior to interrogate me about my statements regarding importation of prescription drugs. The letter also emphasized that Finkelberg had been retained solely to investigate this area and no other issue that may or may not relate to my employment. It also said that I, as a Pfizer employee, was obligated to participate in the inquiry. What One Lawyer Didn't Want to Know Mr." - Peter Rost, The Whistleblower: Confessions of a Healthcare Hitman (Get the book.)

"The FDA routinely violates individual citizen's constitutional rights to due process. The FDA is incredibly powerful. They raid offices, as they did mine, with federal agents with guns drawn. They use intimidation and Gestapo-like tactics to squash, discredit, and eliminate any individual or group that could adversely affect the monopoly of the pharmaceutical industry. When the FDA passed this "regulation" that "Only a drug can cure, prevent, or treat a disease," it established the absolute monopoly of the drug companies." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"In 1886, an obscute but now infamous Supreme Court ruling stated that corporations had the same constitutional rights as people. Some believe this act precipitated the grant of too much power to corporations. But the Supreme Court, unwittingly and by sheer accident, was not too far off. Like people, there are all different types of corporations—public and private, large and small, well-intentioned and not so well-intentioned." - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.)

"I refuse to be pushed around, stepped on, and have these government agencies strip me of my constitutional rights. I absolutely will fight back with everything I have. This is why I have filed a massive lawsuit against the New York State Consumer Protection Board and the individual people involved for trying to stifle my First Amendment right of free speech. I have also sued them for producing a false and misleading press release. You can read the entire lawsuit by going to www.kevinfightsback.com." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"With the support of many other states, the state was able to successfully battle a well-funded lawsuit by the National Electrical Manufacturers' Association that sought to void the label requirements based on the notion that such wording would violate the member companies' constitutional rights by interfering with interstate commerce and infringe their First Amendment rights by compelling speech. In other heartening developments, California Congresswoman Diane Watson has proposed a law that would phase out mercury amalgam fillings within five years." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"We won a preliminary injunction against the agency and the judge basically said that the agency violated my First Amendment constitutional rights. • I sued the Bureau of Prisons, including the warden and assistant warden of the correctional institution that I was in. We proved that the warden, the assistant warden, and the food service administrator blatantly lied under oath and committed perjury. These are members of the Department of Justice! They should be in jail themselves. • A major researcher from the government of Korea put together a study on stem cells." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.) "The government also has a right to protect individuals' constitutional rights, not suppress them. • The press release states that I claim I don't profit from products and information in my book, but I can see that I do make profit from books sold on my website; therefore I am misleading the public. This is outrageous. On my commercial and in my book I am very clear that I make no money on any product that I talk about; I only make money on the books that I sell. I am very clear and very straightforward about how I make money and how I don't make money. This organization is outrageous." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"At the end of 1987, another Santa Clara County Superior Court judge ruled that the NCAA's program violated constitutional rights of privacy, saying, "The paradox of this testing program is that an accused criminal of the most serious crimes is afforded more rights than our athletic heroes." Despite such judicial rulings, Michigan basketball coach Bill Frieder said, "I'm in favor of testing— I don't give a damn about constitutional rights when I'm coaching."
