COMMENTS

The question I have for YOU Gov. Romney. Is about the vacine problem of late that caused menigitis in many Americans. The regulation of saftey was relegated to the states ( because it was a compounding company not a manufacturing company) the FDA was not involved. Why wasn't the problem caught by the States before there was a problem with the American Peoples's Health. If the FDA was involved this probably wouldn't of happened. But that's big gov't and a program that I think is on your chopping block
