Drug regulation and thyroid treatment

Washington should not be in the business of taking away treatments that patients have relied on for generations,” Rep. Rulli continued. “This is about common sense and basic access to care. At a time when more Americans are struggling with hormone-related health issues, desiccated thyroid extract has remained a safe, effective option for over 100 years.

Free expression in the United Kingdom

During this 250th year of American independence from the United Kingdom, we renew our call to the British government to respect the fundamental freedoms of our cousins across the ocean,” said Congressman Rulli. “Our Founding Fathers made clear that the right to speak freely and to criticize one’s government without fear of punishment is a cornerstone of any free society.

Free speech and foreign courts

Foreign bureaucrats do not get to decide what Americans can say,” said Rulli. “My bill makes clear that if a foreign government tries to punish an American for speech protected by the First Amendment, that judgment is dead on arrival in our courts. The Constitution protects our right to speak freely. It does not bend to Brussels or London.

Litigation and the Equal Access to Justice Act

The Equal Access to Justice Act is an important tool for redressing wrongs committed by the federal government, and my bill strengthens that mission to ensure we remain a government by the people, for the people.

Rural health care

Community health centers are the backbone of rural healthcare in Ohio’s 6th District,” said Congressman Rulli. “In communities across Eastern Ohio, they are often the only option families and seniors have. The federal government should be making it easier to keep those doors open, not harder.
