Dear FDA Chief Counsel Troy:

Our family has taken its own action to minimize commercial exploitation of 
our children. We do not watch TV. We read instead.

We know other families who have responded in the same way. But, there are 
remain families less affluent and apparently less able to control this 
medium. 

On behalf of all US children, and in the interests of halting the decline 
in TV viewership, I urge you to implement stronger regulation of 
commercial advertising aimed at children. 

This is not a new problem. Even Al Capp expessed disgust at the effects of 
Kid's TV when he invented "Method K" for turning upright US boys into 
delinquents and killers. There's a lot more to being a citizen than being 
a consumer. We all need to remember that, and kids need to learn what's 
important at an early age.

Sincerely,


Sincerely,


Karl R. Hubrt
