How would this "exposure" happen and what would "exposing" the FDA accomplish? Would U.S. voters suddenly demand that their Congressional Reps and Senators support legislation to abolish or reform the FDA? Would U.S. voters demand that their Presidential candidate pledge to abolish or reform the FDA? Not likely.



Only the chance to influence the FDA's process.
FDA's decision is already made up so the process isn't even relevant. My point is that it's all about the public's perception of what is said during the 'process' and the headlines created afterwards which will be 'FDA Bans Teens From Indoor Tanning'. Tanya Tanner isn't savvy enough to understand what actually happened so she just decides that if the FDA says my daughter can't tan, then I shouldn't be doing it either.

My point is that we need to create our own headline that says 'FDA Process Controlled By Big Money'.
