Subject: Commercial Speech

FDA:
Concerning the FDA's control and restriction of "commercial speech". Commercial speech is not the same as free speech for individuals and should not be lumped into that general category. Corporations already hold too much power over our lives with their massive advertising campaigns, lobbying efforts, and campaign contributions. If anything their power should be restricted more, not enhanced.
