Goals for Citizen involvement:
1. Make legislative bodies aware!
2. Raising
awareness among citizens!
3. Other ideas needed...
...go out and do something!
We need to fight for increased funds, for buying up shares
in pharmaceutical companies to get the drugs and sell them at reasonable prices
to the people that need them. We need to build awareness, if not to promote
compassion alone, but to fight a potential threat in the global community as an
entity.
