Bush's U.S. Customs Gestapo now seizing prescription drugs from Canada.
Prescription shipments from Canada are being seized by U.S. Customs and Border Control at international mail processing centers in the U.S.

The Medicare drug program passed by BushCo & the Republican congress had one purpose: To further enrich pharmaceutical and medical insurance companies. American consumers who can't afford U.S. prices? Fuck 'em.

I live in southeast Florida where there are many seniors who just can't afford U.S. drug prices. The Canadian prices have helped them get by, but that lifeline is now being cut off.

Damn Bush/Cheney, big business and the thugs in congress. Damn them all to hell.

4. Free Market for the corporatists, none for you.
They have been forcing free market policy on us as if it was the best thing since slice bread. How ironic that when we participate in it ourselves, it becomes a crime.

5. How can we get bitter about this. We are peasants, they are royalty and
that's the way it is. At least they haven't shipped us to Gitmo, -- yet.
