Excellent and thoughtful post senti, and I hope it will encourage at least a few prolific writers here to comment. It might not carry the weight of those industry groups, (or other large companies) but maybe if enough individuals do, it might have an impact. Interesting that there weren't more responses to your post, but it certainly deserves elevation.

Big Pharma has already hijacked the Citizens Petition to FDA process:

“The process was designed to facilitate the public’s ability to communicate issues of concern directly with FDA.  Over the years, however, the process has been misused, as a way to block competition and innovation, rather than communicate important information to regulators. Research has found that, between 2011 and 2015, name-brand pharmaceutical companies filed 92% of all the 505(q) citizen’s petitions sent to FDA, and FDA approved only 8% of them.”[color=red][/color]
