Please send thanks. 

The Dateline story about Premarin aired last night, Sunday January 18, 
and was excellent. It covered the treatment of horses used in the 
production of the drug or discarded by the industry and sent to 
slaughter. You can read the text on line at:

(Note: It looks like you can actually view the TV segment on the 
website, but when I clicked on the link it kept switching instead to 
IOWA caucus coverage. Perhaps the glitch will get ironed out later.) 

One of my favorite parts of the piece was a quote from actress 
Stockard Channing: 

"Everyone I have ever mentioned this to goes -- they say what are you 
talking about? It's not like, yeah, I heard about that. They literally 
don't know." 

Last night, Dateline made sure that millions more people know. And you 
can increase that number by making sure your friends or family members 
who might be taking Premarin see the story on the web. 

Please thank Dateline for spreading the word.
