Do You Own Stock in the Drug Companies?

Do you or any of your friends and family members own stock in the drug companies such as Abbott Laboratories, Barr Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Baxter International, Inc., or Genetech, Inc.?
If so, then the Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine (PCRM) needs your help.

As stated on their last email:
"The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is working on a campaign to require pharmaceutical companies to implement meaningful written policies designed to accelerate implementation of the 3 Rs: refinement, reduction, and replacement of animal testing. We are in the process of filing a number of shareholder resolutions requesting that such policies be adopted and enforced. We are in need of persons owning stock in the above listed pharmaceutical companies to support these resolutions. These resolutions are an important step in our campaign to bring an end to outdated, unscientific, and cruel animal testing. Our deadline for filing this resolution will soon be approaching, so we need to hear from you as soon as possible.

We need one or more stockholders for each one of the companies. The stock must be worth at least $2,000 and have been held at least since November 2007. The stock can be held in your own name, or by your broker, but it cannot be owned through a mutual fund. If you or someone you know fits into this category and is interested in helping, please contact PCRM Attorney Katherine Lin at klin@pcrm.org or 202.686.2210, ext. 350. Again, time is short so if you would like to help, please act now."
