Long story short: tell your Congressfolk to ban big pharma bribes to doctors and fully fund no-cost public school meals. Use the tools in the upper right-hand corner of this page (or, if you're on a cellphone, the bottom of this page) to find your Congressfolk's phone numbers and/or use the email/petition tools in the following paragraphs.
Public Citizen helps you tell your Congressfolk to ban big pharma bribes to doctors. Your doctor ever prescribe something without really explaining why you need it? That might be because big pharma corporations ply doctors with meals and travel and such so they can influence them into prescribing whatever they’re making! Big pharma shouldn’t get between you and your doctor either. But how will doctors know about our products? Big Pharma corporations will say. Gosh, publicize favorable studies in respectable medical journals, maybe? One would hope a billion-dollar corporation could promote its products without actually resorting to immoral behavior.
Moms Rising helps you tell your Congressfolk to help every child in America get no-cost meals at school. You’d think at a public school meals would be free since your taxes already pay for that school, but sadly, you would be wrong, and when school districts shame kids for having “outstanding school lunch debts,” you know we’ve gone seriously wrong as a civilization. Shaming kids for things that aren’t their fault and that they don’t really understand is bad enough! But shaming kids for things we could fix with legislation is evil. So how about we stop funding (for example) corporate welfare and tax cuts for the rich and put more tax money toward school meals instead?
