Safe prescription drugs from Canada for Neavda families and senior citizens.

Written by: Anthony Ronci on Jan 9, 2006 9:41 PM EST

A coalition of groups is petitioning the pharmacy board to reject Chanos' preciously nit-picked opinion that attempts to derail Nevada Legislation allowing the importation of relatively inexpensive prescription drugs from Canada.

In addition to doing an awful lot for the visibility of Jon Ralston's TV show, the Chanos decision has prompted the Nevada Alliance for Retired Persons, the Retired Public Health Employees of Nevada and the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada to demonstrate at Pharmacy Board offices in Las Vegas and Reno Thursday. And Monday the coalition unveiled a petition that you can sign online that will be delivered to the Pharmacy Board. It goes like this:

Please do not allow an opinion by Attorney General George Chanos prevent the implementation of legislation establishing a state-run web site where Nevadans can purchase lower cost, safe prescription drugs from Canada. This legislation was passed last year by legislators in both parties and both houses and signed into law by Governor Kenny Guinn.

Please vote on January 12 to let the website and our ability to purchase drugs from Canada to move forward. Nevada families and senior citizens need affordable prescription drugs now.

To sign petition click here please pass this onto as many people as you can. Link
