SCOTT GOTTLIEB WANTS TO MAKE EVERY KRATOM CONSUMER A CRIMINAL

LET'S STAND UP TO THIS BULLYING TOGETHER!

___________________________________

Dear :

Scott Gottlieb hasn't been able to convince the DEA to give him his prized ban on kratom after shutting down our borders to kratom imports with his unfair Import Alert, so he has been going state to state to get them to ban kratom.

That's why there are 6 states that current ban kratom.

The fight to keep kratom legal in the states is a critical one. It is a crisis that Scott Gottlieb created with trumped up lies about deaths caused by kratom, and his demonization of kratom users by trying to make every one of us into a criminal.

We can't let Scott Gottlieb get away with this, and now we have a chance to turn the tide on him with states who are willing to stand up to Gottlieb and expose his lies about kratom.

On February 15 - just last Friday - the Utah State Senate voted 28-1 to move the Kratom Consumer Protection Act to final approval -- and then send the bill to the Utah House of Representatives for a vote there.

If this bill passes, it will send a powerful signal to every other state in America about the right way to deal with kratom – and to ban adulterated kratom, which is the real problem.

I need your help today to keep this fight going.

I just approved the AKA lobbying plan to take the fight to even more states to find sponsors to file the Kratom Consumer Protection Act in Nevada, Wisconsin, Oregon, Idaho, Missouri, Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas and Arkansas.

That is in addition to the current lobbying going on in Georgia, Arizona, New York, New Jersey, Kansas, West Virginia, Louisiana, Illinois, and Florida.

I know a couple of those states are where kratom is already banned. We are committed to get as many of those states as possible to tell Scott Gottlieb they won't listen to his lies any longer and rescind those bans.

My career as a business executive was all about weighing risks versus opportunities, and you can trust me when I say we have taken a big risk in approving contracts for lobbyists in all of those states.

The risk is that the AKA will have the money in our bank account to pay those lobbyists to keep up the fight.

That is where you and every other Kratom Warrior comes in.

The opportunity is that, with your contribution, we can take this fight to keep kratom legal to even more states.

As a trusted and loyal AKA supporter, I am reaching out today to ask for your help. I need to have the money in the bank to pay these lobbyists in all of these states – and keep the maximum pressure on in Washington, D.C.

In total, that is more than $325,000 in lobbying and PR costs that will have to be paid over the next couple of months.

Will you please dig deep and make as generous contribution as you can?

I hate to ask, but we need to seize this opportunity to tell Scott Gottlieb we will not put up with his bullying, his lies, and his attempt to make all of us criminals.

Utah is just the start.

And if you are wondering why Utah is so important, I want you to think about this.

There were 28 of 29 Utah Senators who literally spit in the eye of Scott Gottlieb -- and called him out for all of his lies.

And here is the kicker:  The ONE Utah Senator who voted against the Kratom Consumer Protection Act said he did so because – after looking at all of the evidence presented by the AKA lobbying team and listening to a packed room of kratom consumers begging for help – he didn't think there should be ANY regulation of kratom.

Think about that.  There were 29 Utah Senators who said they would not drink Scott Gottlieb's adulterated Kool-Aid on kratom.

Will you help me today by getting that message into state legislatures across America?

If you make your contribution in the next 72 hours, a generous supporter has pledged to MATCH YOUR CONTRIBUTION.

That will double our resources to take this fight from states to the U.S. Congress.

So please, take a minute right now to make your donation to fight Scott Gottlieb and keep kratom legal.

When I hear from you and confirm your donation, I will call that matching donor and tell him you have generously joined him in this fight.

I cannot thank you enough for all of your support.

Let's keep this fight going together!
