Ask your representatives in Congress tough questions.

Find out their position on the issue of affordable medicine. Here are some suggested questions:

Will you back the Safe and Affordable Drugs from Canada Act (S. 122)? Find out more about this bill introduced by Senators Klobuchar/McCain.
Do you support Senator Vitter’s amendment? This amendment would defund the FDA’s proposed rule to allow for the seizure and destruction of personally imported medicine.
If the answer to the above questions is “no,” ask them: “What are you doing to ensure that your constituents have access to affordable medicine?”

Illustrate the need for access to affordable medicine.
