The petition has been getting a lot of response so far. I've been contacted by several advocacy groups and there's a handful of campaigns starting up to promote the petition.
Robert Miller will personally be handing over the signature list to the appropriate parties in DC and is coordinating with Cort Johnson on how best to proceed.
It looks like we're gaining traction, but the petition will need an all-out effort to reach the kind of numbers required for media exposure. The ultimate goal would be Congress -- but we need your help!
Some Twitter and Facebook activity can go a long way. Ask people to retweet your calls to sign the petition. Reply to sceptics that Ampligen was voted safe. Ask your Facebook friends what they would want. You *can* make a difference...
Hi Freds - I'm assuming you're the petition's sponsor, listed on the petition page as, 'Fred. Neither patient, doctor, nor investor. I was touched by testimony.' I'm very grateful to you for setting this up, even without having a vested interest!
I've mentioned your petition in a comment on our current front-page article on Bob and Cort's email campaign on Ampligen - I hadn't been aware of your petition when I wrote it or I'd have put it in:

Hope that helps get more signatures.
Thanks for giving more info and an update - that always encourages people!
