People who are Shock Survivors Speak Out: #FDAStopTheShockDevice is Still Seeking Support

Thank you to the 2,275+ supporters of this petition! According to Facebook, nearly 100,000 people are talking about #FDAStopTheShockDevice we are close to this spilling into the larger consciousness of social media, but we need some help from you! You may or may not have heard that I (Lauren Tenney) have been blocked from posting, commenting, and joining Facebook groups until April 19, 2016, by Facebook for posting too much, or as Facebook put it, "abusing this feature". Therefore, I am requesting your support in making our petition a success and helping us have our voices heard by FDA. Please share the petition with your networks--individually and in groups--and explain to your colleagues, friends, and loved ones why you signed the petition and encourage them to do the same. UPDATE on FDA Response: The FDA still has not responded to our requests to hold hearings on the shock device and open the shock dockets back up. I left messages again for the Ombudsman Office, this time, for Laurie Lenkel, as well, who is the director of the Ombudsman Office. I have not heard back. I informed them that I would be sending the printed materials later this week. Please take this opportunity to help us build more support for our position-- that the FDA must not down-classify the shock device for any reason and must hold accessible, public hearings about the shock device. Thank you for your continued support.
