SPECIAL NOTICE! OSHA HAS BEEN DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONAL! OSHA IS OUT OF BUSINESS! A December 30th decision for Idaho businessman Bill Barlow by a Federal Three Judge Constitutional Court declared the inspection provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Act unconstitutional and void. Because of the efforts of THE JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY and others, the above statements can be published.

Congressman George Hansen of the Second District of Idaho "For all intents and purposes this unpopular, oppressive and unproductive Act has been repealed. This means that BUSINESSMEN and FARMERS NO LONGER NEED TO ALLOW AN OSHA INSPECTION." "This latest decision is the most significant of a series of Fourth Amendment victories over OSHA. Based on the precedent of previous cases, the Barlow decision recognized that the inspection provisions of OSHA violate the Fourth Amendment but, unlike prior cases, it refused to judicially rewrite the law in order to salvage it. Instead the Barlow Court declared the inspection provisions UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND VOID thus DEPRIVING the DEPARTMENT OF LABOR OF ANY AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT OSHA INSPECTIONS OF PRIVATE BUSINESS PREMISES WITH OR WITHOUT A WARRANT."
