   Comments: Preemption would not be a good idea even if the FDA was properly equipped and funded to do its job. Preemption would not be a good idea even if the most senior employees of the FDA were not political appointments by an administration with an agenda that has little to do with protecting public health. Let each branch of government do its job, and each level of government--federal and state--do its job. Hasn't the arrogation of power to the executive branch gone far enough

   Comments: There seems to be too much poison being called "treatment" out everywhere. The children will pay for the drugs forced upon them and we will see exactly what the drug farmers have done to our children

   Comments: If the all powerful pharmaceutical lobby succeeds in avoiding responsibility for damage caused by their products there will be no motivation to create the best possible products, to be honest about their products and to be honest with the public. Hasn't medical care in the United States deteriorated enough already without this type of detrimental legislation

    Comments: This should be a no-brainer. It's a complete disrespect for Individual Citizen Rights and Due Process of Law for this doctrine of preemption to ever have ever been offered, let alone put into practice. It is also a brazen refusal to recognize the severe Conflicts of Interest that have developed in the operation of the FDA, often due to political forces outside itself. Congress should step in and forcefully reject this doctrine.

    Comments: Unfairly protecting the makers of dangerous and deadly drugs is not in the interest of justice. Not only should drug companies be held responsible for their dangerous products in civil court but in criminal courts as well.

    Comments: The Drug Companies have been consistently hiding drug side effects so as not to loose market share. Trading the patients health for profit is not only unmoral, but it should be illegal. The only way at present for the manufacturer to be held accountable is for a harmed patient initiate product liability litigation. Please don't take that away.

    Name: Ronald L. Goldman on Aug 28, 2008

    Comments: The preemption doctrine, as now advocated by the FDA and Big Pharma, is nothing but a thinly veiled grab at immunity from accountability. It places the burden of loss wholly on the victims of wrongdoing, and the public at large, while protecting ill-gained profits.

    Comments: I find it appalling that petitions like this are even needed, and am disgusted with how the FDA has completely lost it's way and purpose, to the point where they are no longer protecting CONSUMERS, but rather Industry.

    Comments: Management of the FDA has been effectively privatized by Big Pharma under the political philosophy that corporate interests are to be served above all others. Without the right of private citizens to wield the sword of judicial power, we will have no defense against the wealthy corporations that assume the power of the executive branch. If such becomes the case, then our "free market system," which relies upon government to PROTECT the citizens from abuse, will degenerate to a system best described as a "tyrannical market system" which relies upon government to ASSAULT the citizens. The FDA wants preemption because Big Pharma wants preemption, not because the citizens want preemption.

    Comments: I have seen the dirty, industry-friendly behavior of the FDA. I have testified countless times, to no avail. If they are the "gold standard", it is the fool's gold and nothing else. My only son was KILLED by Zyprexa. No warnings of any kind. Do not take this foolish and dangerous step. Ellen Liversidge
