Pipeline received this email today from the Abigail Alliance, formed after the death of the founder's daughter as he sought experimental treatment for her.

Abigail Alliance-Boston Legal-Obama meeting!-Momentum

Dear all,

Among much news that is giving the Abigail Alliance renewed momentum
was our meeting yesterday with part of the Obama transition team. It
went very well! AND there is more news.

This past Monday night, on the television show Boston Legal, the
character played by William Shatner filed a lawsuit against FDA to
gain access to an experimental drug (based on Abigail Alliance v. FDA) to treat his rapidly advancing Alzheimer's Disease. SO BE SURE TO WATCH next Monday night's episode, when Shatner's lawyer will actually be arguing the case in front of a mock panel of nine Supreme Court
justices.

There is more going on such as a major documentary is
currently underway which is being done by an Emmy winning
writer/producer and an Emmy winning director, an ABC 20/20 John
Stossel piece is still alive and well as it awaits an airing date, AND
a Discovery Health TV piece featuring the Abigail Alliance is in the
works


Thinking of you all,
Frank Burroughs
