Call Your Rep. NOW: NO on HR 3309!
The U.S. House will vote tomorrow on H.R. 3309, or the “Innovation Act.” Proponents of this bill want you to believe that it will strengthen U.S. patent law and its protections for American entrepreneurs and inventors. Eagle Forum opposes this bill because, in actuality, it runs counter to the Constitutional principles underlying our patent system — namely, a strong, private property right in one’s inventions.

Free Trade Cheats Americans
