Met with doctor who participated in these trials and he said that all 88 people still remain UND!
Labor Day is an American federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September (September 3 in 2012) that celebrates the economic and social contributions of workers. The holiday is often regarded as a day of rest and parties.
However, this weekend I am asking each of you to “labor” by getting five more signatures for our petition. We currently have over 6500 signatures, but if each of you get five more that would put us over the 30,000 mark and we will be even closer to getting the cure for this disease. Then perhaps next Labor Day we can celebrate our victory over this disease with our family and friends. And, oh what a celebration that will be!
I have placed the link to the petition below so that you can either forward this to five more people, or copy and paste it on your Facebook page.
I wish each of you a safe and happy Labor Day weekend and want you all to know that we will not stop until we have VICTORY!
Warmest regards,
Margaret

I actually took a day off yesterday (for a bit) to celebrate hubby's 65th birthday. But am back today and still hard at work to pressure Gilead Sciences to move now with these trials. The CDC final recommendations that ALL "baby boomers" be tested for hepatitis C have created more interest in our efforts. I urge you all to continue looking for ways to capture national attention on this urgent situation and please keep asking everyone you know to sign and share our petition.
