WHATS GOING ON
This Is An Emergency!
We rallied outside the FDA building in Rockville, Maryland on September 18th. Now there are buses riding around Rockville and Washington, D.C., further protesting the shenanigans that took place inside the FDA building, as well as outside.
The FDA has gotten caught up with Wall Street. While it is supposed to be busy with evaluating food and drugs, its employees just can't keep their eyes off the money. So that is how decisions are being made these days.

WE'LL BE BACK
These people traveled from all across the country to protest outside the FDA Building in Rockville, Maryland. The FDA has stopped a safe and effective treatment from getting to men who need it now. The treatment is called Provenge and it treats men who have late stage prostate cancer.
The FDA appointed a panel of experts to help it decide on the safety and efficacy of Provenge. That panel voted 17-0 that Provenge was safe. And it voted 13-4 that Provenge showed substantial evidence it worked. And yet the FDA delayed it. Now it could be a year, a year and a half or it could be three years. It could be forever.
These people will keeping coming back to Rockville and they hope others will join them until the courts, the FDA, Congress or somebody does something about this travesty.

Corruption at Its Finest
November 12th, 2007 | Posted by Melody DavisFor those of us who have followed the Provenge saga and have been fighting this injustice since May 9 2007, most, if not all the information contained here will not be news to us. Nevertheless, since I have been offered a platform to express my views and opinions, I leaped at the chance to do so. My main concern and motivation for this blog stem from what appears to be FDA corruption and the lack of urgency by Congress to rectify the situation.
I have written to my Senators and Representative so many times, I have lost count. If I am lucky enough to receive a response, the communication exchange usually ends the same way. The Senators and Representative forward my concerns to the FDA. The FDA changes the recipient’s name and sends their already prepared form letter to the Senators and Representative, which is then forwarded to me. The FDA’s response is a blatant disregard for authority. Who is the boss of whom? The FDA is seriously out of control. What is even more disturbing is that Congress has allowed the FDA to get away with thumbing their nose at the boss (Congress). If this was any other employer/employee relationship, the employee would have been shown the door a long time ago. My perception is that FDA officials have become so cocky and removed from the mandate set by Congress, they feel they answer to no one. I apologize for the rant. However, this situation is beyond ridiculous and I am beyond frustrated.
