How many people have lost a co-worker or neighbor or a member of a church to ALS?

How many people sell goods or services to ALS organizations?

How many people work at ALS clinics?

OK... We need for EVERYONE to mobilize and make comments to the FDA. It can be as simple as what so many people said on Monday -- The status quo is unacceptable.

If all the FDA hears are the voices of 60 people on Monday and a few hundred online, they won't feel the heat.

Please, it's not our ALS organizations' job to speak up for you. It's not your walk team captain's job. It's not your supervisor's job. It's not somebody else's job. It's YOUR job. Please submit a comment. Democracy works, but you know what they say about squeaky wheels.

Thanks. Just as you take care of your own oxygen first on the airplane, please make your own comments first, then help spread the word.  Please squeak the FDA into action.
