Thank you so much for adding your powerful voice to ours.

I happily pass this on to those rallying tomorrow to bring awareness

to this issue ... and others in our Support Group sending their

backing from afar.

Best regards and may sanity prevail ... at the FDA and at Health

Canada.

Dear Ilena

I was referred to your organization and website by fellow Canadian,

Joyce Attis. I wanted to let you know that a loosely formed

coalition of women's health activists here in Canada are working on

the same issue of fighting approval of these " new " implants with the

equivalent of the FDA in our federal government. Public hearings

will be held on June 17 in our nation's capital, Ottawa, and we are

organizing along with women like Joyce and her fellow breast

implant " canaries in the coal mine " to bring together the right mix

of people (women who have been harmed, scientists who know the

research, advocates for health and safety) in order to hopefully

persuade our government to do the right thing and not approve this

product. We are and will run into many of the same problems you have

faced in the U.S. around getting our word heard.

My main reason for writing is to tell you that we want the women who

are protesting in Washington tomorrow to know that we in Canada

strongly support them in their efforts to draw attention to what is

happening. We hope that their efforts will not go unnoticed by those

who seem to have had a lapse in common sense judgement around the

approval of these products. If you can, please let them know that we

will be there with them in spirit.

thanks

Thank you for this, because it is great to see that we do have support here

in Canada as well as the United States. I pray that they will change their

minds.

Love you....Lea
