CSPI Sesame Petition filed!!!

[LinksEtc]

Now to keep momentum going! 

I say you go for the NYT, Wash Post, Chicago Tribune, etc. next.   


I feel like my sesame work is done ... this project is in great hands.

Ninja,

I noticed you deleted some stuff ... if you want me to delete your quotes in my posts let me know, or if I'm not around, you can have a mod do it.  Otherwise, I'll leave them as is.

Yes, I hope the momentum keeps going.

I can't seem to get people to share the HuffPo piece, I was hoping it would get more traction, but maybe labeling just doesn't get people thinking?  I can't see why they wouldn't see it as a positive effort.  Granted, with the big orgs being silent it isn't reaching a wide audience.

I sent you an email Homa.

When I believe that change must begin from the top, I am unknowingly telling myself I can do nothing from the bottom.

I must go forward, whether my CF clinic, my hospital or the CF Foundation chooses to come along or not.

those who deal with this awful disease day in and day out, with no relief, have no time to wait for others to do it for us.

We have an opening for contact with Senators re: the CSPI petition - I'm not allowed to post about it generally so if anyone is interested, message me here or email me at homa at woodrumlaw dot com and I'll give you the details.

  Now that's how it's done.  Links, FA Jedi Master, in the most sincere conviction I can muster this is an incredible project gaining speed.  Congratulations on getting traction.

It's not me anymore Ninja ... Homa & CSPI are leading the way    .... I/we get to sit back & enjoy the show!

Links *is* a Jedi Master!  Feeling like this will really come to pass!  My KFA call was supposed to be tomorrow but they just rescheduled for July 2 so at least we have this news in the meantime!

Senate Democrats are calling on the Obama administration to issue a mandatory labeling rule for products that contain sesame or sesame seeds.

Geeking out over here!!!

They actually have an error in that article ...

FALCPA does explicitly regulate sesame that's included in processed food as an allergen.

was so happy ... didn't notice that initially.
