I know this isn't drum related, but as a business owner and someone doing their best to make something of themselves in this world... I thought it worth sharing.
Just got this disturbing email from my online pharmacy.
**********
Section 708 of the new FDA Safety and Innovation Act (S. 3187) gives government agencies the authority to seize and destroy prescription drugs that are imported for personal use.
We are calling on our supporters to let the Obama Administration know how you feel about this unfair regulation.
This provision was clearly crafted by big drug companies at the expense of public health. It has no business being a part of the FDA bill. Over a million Americans each year rely on importation to access their vital medicines at prices they can afford.

I am trying to start a new business from scratch with very little capital at my disposal... I can't get a loan from the bank in spite of my great credit. My medical insurance bills are up over $400 a month and are approaching what I pay for rent! At least my prescription drugs were more manageable because of Canpharm.
I used to get them locally, but the price is 3 times what it cost for international. Now the US gov is trying to make that illegal. They are crippling the hard working Americans that are trying to make something of themselves to stimulate this terrible economy here in the US. Let us get our medication where ever we wish... this is a free society... Isn't it?
