Action Alert

Drug Policy Alliance issues a new alert on pending legislation that would allow our government to track our medical histories and medications.

It's not as far-fetched as it sounds. In early October, the U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation (H.R. 3015) to fund databases to track what prescription drugs Americans are taking. This information would then be shared among states, as well as with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies -- all without your knowledge or consent. If this law is enacted, the government will have all it needs to snoop into your personal medical records.

Take action with DPA's easy to use prewritten fax. All you have to do is sign your name and with one click, DPA will send a message to your legislators telling them to defeat this invasion of your privacy.

Furthermore, this will also help protect the rights of chronic pain patients who are clearly being targeted by the bill. The DEA already has pain management doctors running scared with prosecutions for medically appropriate pain management plans for their patients. The government will use the information allowed to be collected under this bill to further harass these physicians.

Don't wait. Take action now and stop H.R. 3015 in its tracks.
