    I belong to the ACLU and receive updates on it regularly. In addition to loss of internet freedom, the way it is currently written would severely curtail or even stop altogether shipment of drugs from foreign online pharmacies, which would be devastating to my husband and me. The drug we both use is $95.00 with a copay at Walmart. When I buy it from Canada, it's about $27.00. I have written to both my Congressman and Senator.
