URGENT UPDATE ON H.R. 1170

Dear Supporter:

 

The Child Medication Safety Act of 2003, or H.R. 1170, will prohibit

school personnel from requiring a child to obtain a prescription for a

controlled substance in schedule II under …the Controlled Substances

Act…as a condition of attending school or receiving services. This means

drugs like Ritalin, Cylert, Dexedrine. We would like to see it expanded

to all psychiatric/psychotropic drugs.

 

So far, there are 21 co-sponsors to this bill. In order for this bill to

get more attention and move through Congress, it needs many more

co-sponsors. If you have not already done so, PLEASE contact your

Representative TODAY and ask them to co-sponsor H.R. 1170 and expand it

to cover all psychiatric/psychotropic drugs. Please send this information

to others who should also know about this. It is VITAL that we protect

the rights of parents and children not to be coerced into taking

psychiatric drugs.

 

To get Phone Numbers, Fax Numbers and Emails of your member of Congress

go to the Thomas legislative website http://thomas.loc.gov

 

Thanks for your help.
