__________________________________ COMMISSIONER SCOTT GOTTLIEB STEPS UP THE PRESSURE WE NEED YOUR HELP TODAY TO PUSH BACK! ___________________________________ Kratom Warrior: I need your help to keep kratom legal, and I am not going to sugar coat the threat we are facing or the challenge that is ahead. The Threat: Scott Gottlieb, Commissioner of the FDA. In just the past week, I have had my email inbox flooded with reports from across America on how Scott Gottlieb is spreading his campaign to demonize kratom to Health Departments, Boards of Pharmacy; and law enforcement agencies in virtually every state in America. Trust me, Scott Gottlieb is hopping mad because he has not been able to bully the DEA into placing kratom into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, so now he is increasing his efforts to peddle his lies about kratom to the state regulators. Gottlieb thinks he can add more bans to the existing ones that are currently in force in Alabama, Indiana, Rhode Island, Arkansas, Vermont and Wisconsin. Scott Gottlieb knows the American Kratom Association has been talking to state officials in every one of those states, and he's afraid the truth will block him from his crusade against kratom. The FDA knows the science on kratom is winning in Ohio, Arizona, Tennessee, West Virginia, New York, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Missouri, Oregon, Michigan, and Utah. But putting lobbyists on the ground in all of those states – with more to come in the next few weeks – costs a lot of money. And Scott Gottlieb knows it. But Scott Gottlieb thinks he can kill the AKA with his army of regulators spreading the lies about kratom to get it banned in the states. SCOTT GOTTLIEB WANTS TO CREATE A DE-FACTO NATIONAL SHADOW BAN ON KRATOM . We simply cannot afford to let him win like this, and that is why I am writing today. The bottom line is: I need your help by making a donation today to keep the fight going. When you do, you can also sign up as a Sustaining Member of the AKA. CLICK HERE TO DONATE AND JOIN AS A SUSTAINING MEMBER OF THE AKA I want to send a clear message to Scott Gottlieb that the efforts of the AKA is not going away – not now, and not anytime in the future. But that takes money from supporters just like you. Help me tell Scott Gottlieb and his army of FDA regulators that we will fight in every corner of America to show how they are wrong on the science and wrong on the policy on kratom. Will you help me? Please send as generous a donation as you can -- and please -- become a Sustaining Member of the AKA. We desperately need your help to continue the fight. In fact, the AKA just learned that the town of Castle Rock, Colorado has formed a committee to study whether kratom should be banned. Their committee will have health and law enforcement officials from all over Colorado participating. Castle Rock is the next target of the FDA, and they think it will lead to a statewide ban. But the AKA has been invited to be a part of that committee too, and we will be there armed with the scientific proof that Scott Gottlieb has not been telling the truth about kratom – kratom is not a classic opioid, it does not kill people, and it is not dangerously addictive. I want to let them know that we have thousands of kratom supporters who have stepped up and become Sustaining Members of the AKA. CLICK HERE TO DONATE AND JOIN AS A SUSTAINING MEMBER OF THE AKA And please, help me continue to put experienced lobbyists on the ground in each of those states to educate state regulators on the truth about kratom. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support. When I have asked before, you have stepped up, and your help has gotten us to where we are today. And now Scott Gottlieb is forcing us to expand our efforts significantly, and that is why your help is needed today. Please help today in continuing the fight, Dave Herman Chairman American Kratom Association American Kratom Association
