UPDATE

Take action against the dangerous overuse of antibiotics.

Tell your Senator to support legislation that limits the feeding of important antibiotics to healthy livestock. Senator Kennedy has just introduced S. 2508, the PRESERVATION OF ANTIBIOTICS FOR HUMAN TREATMENT ACT. Urge your Senators to support this vital health legislation, which restricts the use of medically important antibiotics in animal agriculture.
