In the 110th Con­gress and in May of 2008, a reso­lu­tion (H. Con. Res. 342) spon­so­red by Rep. Mike Ross of Arkan­sas was pre­sen­ted which expres­sed the sense of Con­gress that the FDA’s new policy res­tric­ting women’s access to medi­ca­tions con­tai­ning estriol does not serve public inte­rest.  It was sup­por­ted by 58 others in congress.

These sup­por­ters have stood up to the FDA before, and may just be ideal to stand up for thy­roid patients. Below are those sup­por­ters who still serve, and which also con­tains their con­tact infor­ma­tion link.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  you may have to list a cer­tain city/state/zipcode in their dis­trict in order to get through to the con­tact form.  Those are lis­ted for you after each link. You can make up a POB num­ber for the address. Thanks to Pat and Darla for get­ting the con­tact URLs and city/state/zipcodes.  Thanks to Gina for brin­ging this reso­lu­tion to my attention.
