June 21, 2008, 3:52pm (report abuse)The Access Act is gaining support from both sides of the aisle in Congress and the Senate. Several members of the Congressional Black Caucus have just signed on. Help from everyone in adding more co-sponsors is NEEDED. Please write your representatives and senators to request their support of the Access Act.
Several petitions have been created that will also be sent to The Hill. It would be great to get thousands of signatures. Please sign and pass along to everyone you know. If you have a blog or web site, please post the petition on your blog and/or web site.

June 22, 2008, 8:15am (report abuse)When if ever we see an FDA which is for the People instead of Big Pharma & Special Interest the outlook is grim. Even the oversight committee's are failing to protect the People. Congressman Dingell of the Committee of Energy & Commerce has failed the People in correcting the wrong of the latest with the FDA in its FAILURE to approve Provenge for Prostate Cancer. Some 35,000 Men have already DIED because of the Conflicts of Interest within the FDA that protect Special Interest FIRST and the People DEAD last. Why many are NOT in Jail now for these Criminal Acts is beyond comprehension.
