Invite all your other friends to join. The main goal of this group is to discuss issues of scientific results as it relates to the legislation formulated by our representatives. I will be posting all news related to this topic and will definitely give my opinion. I urge you to do the same. Hopefully through this forum new ideas spring and methods to improve present policy will present themselves.

Welcome,
Tim
