One of the best websites for tracking prescription drug and internet pharmacy law related regulation, including the Ryan Haight Act, is maplight.org. You can track a bill’s progress just like govtrack.us and opencongress.org, but, more interestingly, you can also track political campaign contributions related to such bills all in one spot.
Both Barak Obama and John McCain are no strangers to campaign contributions from pharmacists and drug stores. In fact, Obama and McCain were both in Congress’s top 10 for drug store contributions:
- Hillary Clinton $148758
- Barak Obama $116925
- John Kerry $85279
- Mike Ross $81350
- John McCain $63350
Additionally, they were both in the top 25 (Obama #8 and McCain #25) for pharmacist contributions.
Not surprisingly, both brick and mortar drug stores and pharmacist organizations supported the Ryan Haight Act.
