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.

The Rockville Runaround!
April 5th, 2008 | Posted by CTLOur FDA Fieldtrip
We arrived at the FDA visitor parking lot at 7:45 AM ready to protest at 8:00. There were already many visitors parked there and the FDA lot was already full of cars. We walked across the street so we were right in front of the 5600 Fischer, the FDA Parklawn building.
A security guard saw us coming and immediately went inside. We were hoping to speak to one. I held up my sign and started saying variations on this theme: “Extra! Extra! Read all about it! A cancer patient tells his story in today’s Rockville Gazette. He needs the FDA’s help!”
A soft-speaking guard with an accent came up to us and told us we had to stop. We pleaded our case, told him that we had contacted security several days prior to our arrival and had not heard back but that we had a right to protest on the public sidewalk but he wouldn’t have it. He told us we had to leave and couldn’t take pictures either.
He kept asking for our names and addresses and we kept asking him questions.
I didn’t have the e-mail on me so I told him I had to go to my car and get the sheet that showed we contacted security. He went back inside and we went to our car. The next thing we know we had six security guards swarming around us and our car like a bunch of angry bees.
We gave them the email, and answered all their questions and they wrote down our license plate, names, and Kerry’s phone number. We gave them some flyers and a www.CareToLive.com button and we kept throwing Melody’s name around (Arnie’s even came up once in the FDA lobby). We again pleaded our case and our rights and they said they had to get clearance.
It was very windy, cold day there and we stood in the parking lot next to our car, (a “The FDA Is Broken, Continue Reading The Rockville Runaround! »
