I'm thrilled to share a major update on our campaign for House Bill 672: Naturopathic Doctor Licensure in Ohio. The energy is high, and we're working hard on two crucial fronts: solidifying our grassroots support and engaging high-profile allies for health freedom.
Grassroots Progress & Dedication
We've maintained our momentum and are excited to report a current total of 57 Supporters! This number is a testament to the growing demand for regulated, holistic, and root-cause focused healthcare options in our state.
Our community is active and engaged! Since our petition began, the data shows strong dedication:
Growing Visibility: We've had 4 promoters contribute to our cause. One promoter, Dawna Green, shared the petition and secured 1 signature, while another promoter helped generate 23 signatures. Getting the word out is our most critical need right now.
Financial Commitment: Our total community contributions stand at $13, raised by three dedicated financial supporters.
Signature Sources: Our petition promotions are our top source of signatures (47%), followed closely by Facebook (31%). This highlights the power of sharing to reach outside your network!
Local Commitment: Advocacy for OHNDA
To strengthen our position on the ground, I have deepened my commitment to the Ohio Naturopathic Doctors Association (OHNDA). OHNDA is the professional organization actively working to advance naturopathic licensure for graduates of accredited naturopathic schools in Ohio. My advocacy efforts ensure that our petition's momentum is directly supporting their critical legislative work on HB 672.
By supporting this petition, you are directly reinforcing OHNDA’s mission to educate residents, support qualified NDs, and ensure the safe and legal practice of naturopathic medicine in our state. You can see more about this connection on my recent Facebook share: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/178Fakb3yT/
National Outreach: Seeking Support from RFK Jr.
On a crucial national front, I have taken a major step to elevate this issue! I'm excited to announce that I have officially reached out to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s organizations.
I sent a detailed letter to his team outlining how the movement to license Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) in Ohio aligns perfectly with his platform of Individual Liberty and challenging the conventional medical status quo. I highlighted how licensing NDs would empower Ohio families with true medical choice and promote a system of care that addresses the root causes of illness—a cause I know he champions.
My next step is to explore avenues to reach Mr. Kennedy more personally. Showing his team the power of our organized, 57-supporter-strong movement is the key to securing his endorsement, which would be a monumental victory for health freedom in Ohio.
What's Next & How You Can Help!
We have a "Great" Petition Strength, but we need to demonstrate massive growth to catch the attention of high-profile allies and key legislators.
Massive Difference: Share the Petition Today!
We are only 43 supporters away from our next goal! Sharing is the single most powerful thing you can do right now and makes a monumental difference in reaching more Ohio families. Please share the petition link immediately with five friends and family who believe in medical freedom and holistic health. Sharing is extremely helpful!
Optional: Help Us Reach More Families:
If you are able and willing, any contribution helps us run effective promotions on platforms like Facebook, our second-highest source of signatures. Our community contributions currently stand at $13, and every dollar is used directly to reach hundreds of new supporters who may not otherwise see our campaign.
Thank you for being a vital part of this fight. Let's make HB 672 a reality!
Sincerely,
Malaina Fondriest
Ohio Resident and advocate for naturopathic medicine.
