twitterLetter: War on drugs being waged on honest citizens
Saturday, July 15, 2006 | 7:49 a.m.
The federal government has stepped up seizures of imported drugs, according to the group Senior Citizens League.
Thousands of Americans who order their prescriptions from Canada and other countries have received notice from the government that their medications have been confiscated.
It's amazing in the worst way that we have a government that can't control our borders from illegal immigration and literally tons of illegal narcotic drugs that are coming into this country every day, but by God they can stop Grandma from saving 50 bucks on her prescription drugs that can save her life.
What's more criminal is that we, the richest nation in the world, cannot afford health care for our citizens who work hard every day and play by the rules. Oh, but the government can spend billions upon billions on Vietnam Part II - er, the Iraq war - which will end up being a losing cause.
