Urge Our Missouri Representatives to Support the ADINA Act for Prescription Safety Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

Missouri friends, I need a favor! I just created a petition for our Reps to sponsor a bill called the ADINA Act that directly effects me as someone with Celiac. It will require all prescription and over the counter meds to disclose if they contain gluten or other food allergens. chng.it/NCG5V9pzC4
