It is good to realize that Dr. Rost's supporters need only vote once, as we typically do in elections.

Stuffing the ballot box is common in Illinois and other states. Dr. Rost won't need that, because he has real people in real numbers behind him.

We, the people, are sick of the corruption and bribery that is the FDA. Time for a major change. Peter Rost is the only person that has offered such a declaration of change and personally stated it will not be business as usual.

I hope that helps with the decision our new president has to make. Time to talk with Tom Daschle about this matter as well.

Steve Nissen was "bold" in coming out against Avandia and his 60 minutes interview sacking Vioxx, etc. and everyone made him out to be a hero of some kind. Where was his "speaking out" on Bextra and Celebrex while he was bashing Vioxx and receiving grant funding from Pfizer? Is that really the kind of new and "independent" voice we need doing more of business as usual work at the FDA? Get real!

Doing things the same way but expecting a different result . . .
