Take action to protect your RxRights! - RxRights.org

I actually was referred to a Canadian pharmacy by a local druggist because my medications when combined together were very expensive and I was about to quit taking all of them. My druggist where I do purchase locally told me that I should not quit taking them but go to Canada. If this option is removed I will not be taking things I'm supposed to take. Robert

Take action to protect your RxRights!

posted Wed, 20 Apr 2011

Countless Americans like you can't afford their needed medications. Millions of Americans have found a safe and affordable alternative--they import their prescription drugs through legitimate Canadian and international online pharmacies.

But this virtual lifeline is in jeopardy. Misguided efforts by Congress and officials in the White House could take away the ability to order medications online--even from the most reputable sources.

It's time to take action! We've recently added an online advocacy tool to the RxRights website that makes it incredibly easy for you to contact your elected officials about this important cause.

I urge you use this resource to contact Congress today. Stand up and demand protection for your RxRights!

Lee Graczyk, RxRights
