Subject: ''Commercial Speech"

I am writing to strongly oppose the administrations
efforts to expand constitutional protections for
commercial speech. Advertising which is influential
and pervasive has been demonstrated to have a
significant influence on public opinions and habits of
behavior and consumption. When messages are carefully
crafted by ad agencies to manupulate a target audience
such as children, for example, the FDA has a
responsibility to err on the side of caution. Please
consider stronger restrictions on "Commercial Speech."
SAY NO to the soft money; Our health, our national
wellfare is at stake. Our children's hearts and minds
should not be placed on the auction block for the
perveyors of influence to recklessly manipulate.

Andrew Carotehrs-Liske
