The “Stop Online Piracy Act” (SOPA), currently before Congress, threatens online access to safe and affordable medication through reputable international online pharmacies. A CBS-Fort Myers report gives a human face to this issue by highlighting a Floridian senior, Mary Miller, who is able to afford her medication only because of a Canadian online pharmacy. If SOPA passes, Ms. Miller may lose access to that Canadian online pharmacy. The CBS report features RxRights.org as the lead organization helping Americans rally to contact their elected officials to oppose SOPA.
Stopping rogue sites in many areas, such as those sites that steal and re-sell copyrighted movies and music, sell knockoffs of designer handbags and clothes, and especially those that sell dangerous or fake medication is the right idea. But a bill that could takedown many websites that are exercising the rights of free speech, publishing music and movies legally, and especially websites selling safe and affordable medication, is a bill that should be abandoned post-haste.
RxRights.org should be loudly applauded for its work on behalf of Americans who are struggling to afford medication by educating Americans about SOPA and how it could block access to affordable prescription medication.
If this is going to Congress. You people have NO idea how you have screwed the people who pay your wages. If you lived in the real world you may understand, but I really don’t believe you are smart enough to realize it. YOU have been the ones to make us go to another country to get necessary drugs to exist. Wake up and either stop regulating and leave us alone or do something that would help us.
They wouldn’t be able to pass a law that takes out anything that goes against the rights of the people. Or at least the Supreme Court shouldn’t allow it.
There are bigger issues to deal with though.

The online drug business has definitely been abused. That is where all of the laws are stemming from. The government is trying to stanch the proverbial bleeding of prescription drugs into the wrong hands. This simply needs to be moderated better.
Just because something is cheap doesn’t mean there is something wrong with it, in my opinion.
