Private Membership Education Associations of America
Private Membership Associations are constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech and assembly by: Amendments 1, 4, 5, 9, 10 and 14 of the United States Constitution Section Two of the 1982 Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
CANADA: These freedoms in Canada have gradually been usurped by Agrifood-Canada, Canada Revenue Agency, Canadian Air Transport Security Agency, Canadian Commercial Commission, Canadian Dairy Commission, Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada.
USA: These freedoms in the USA have gradually been usurped by the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Trade Commission, Food and Drug Administration, Internal Revenue Service, Department of Agriculture and the Transportation Safety Administration.
Proadvocate Group
Properly-formed private membership associations guarantee freedom of assembly and speech under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the US Constitution. They also guarantee freedom of assembly and speech under Section Two of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Alliance for Natural Health
The Alliance for Natural Health USA (ANH-USA) is part of an international organization dedicated to promoting natural and sustainable health—and, in particular, consumer freedom of choice in healthcare—through good science and good law. To this end, ANH-USA actively engages in legal initiatives, standing against forces that would limit your access to safe and effective dietary supplements, complementary therapies, and integrative medicines. We lobby Congress and state legislatures, act as a government watchdog, file comments on proposed rulemakings, and educate the public, the media, and other decision-makers.
Citizens for Health
The CFH Mission has many diverse constituents. Our fundamental intention is to bring these constituents together, increase our numbers, and make our collective voices louder than ever — politically, economically and culturally. In summary, we intend to create a seat at the table in national health care policy debate for the natural health constituencies. With more than half of all Americans using natural medicine, our movement is gaining momentum.
National Health Freedom COALITION
It is NHFC's plan to create a health freedom presence in our country that will continually promote access to all health care freedoms and options. By doing this NHFC will guard and protect more fully our right to self-determination and autonomy to make our own health care decisions.
Health Care Access For Texas
Healthcare Access for Texas seeks to expose the harmful market protection schemes of the Texas Medical Association (TMA) and the American Medical Association (AMA) – keeping healthcare costs high while reducing access to safe, effective, healthcare services Texans deserve.
