Stand Up for the Truth about Risky Silicone Implants

Hello To All My Activist Friends,

You often ask me how you can help in my travels to DC to fight for women's health, well , I need help now. The manufacturers and plastic surgeons have been given another chance to get this faulty implant approved in April. They were asked for more long term data, well here we are less than a year later and they are granted another approval hearing. How much long term data could they have in 9 months???

I am going to the FDA hearings, as many of you know, but we need some congressional action before we go.

We created a site for people to ask the FDA to MAKE SURE the device is safe before approval. I am asking your help in this.

Please go to the link below send the FDA and Congress a note. It's really easy and you can read all the information there. Feel free to send it to anyone you know might be able to help. Just cut and paste the information.

Many Thanks for your help.

Mary
