Press Release Summary = www.TodaysSeniorsNetwork.com, a leading informational web
site for America's Seniors and Boomers, to launch campaign to identify bogus, unsafe
mail order pharmacies.Site visitors to have opportunity to help ensure continued
access to safe, affordable prescriptions from reputable mail order pharmacies

Press Release Body = The publisher of www.TodaysSeniorsNetwork.com, a leading
informational web site for America's Seniors and Boomers, says that his site will
launch a new public service to identify bogus internet pharmacies that threaten the
health of U.S. citizens.

"It is because of those rogue pharmacies that the ability and integrity of reputable
licensed, registered mail order pharmacies is used by opponents of access to safe,
affordable prescription medicines from outside the U.S. to confuse Americans," says
Daniel Hines, publisher of www.TodaysSeniorsNetwork.com.

The site will publish information about the bogus sites with the new section at
www.TodaysSeniorsNetwork.com/Bogus_Pharmacy_Alert.htm . The first bogus pharmacies
will be identified by March 10. But, site visitors don't have to wait to help
provide protection for their fellow citizens, boomers, friends and family members.

"These rouge pharmacies will be identified not only from information we are able to
gather, but from our site visitors," Hines said.
He says that a special response form will be developed for site visitors to send to
www.TodaysSeniorsNetwork.com when they have received spam or some other solicitation
from a bogus pharmacy.

"This is an important health care issue," Hines says. "There can be no questioning
the value of legitimate, licensed pharmacies in helping huge numbers of Americans to
enjoy the health benefits provided by safe, affordable prescriptions.

"It is time to include citizen involvement in identifying the 'bad guys' to make
sure that those legitimate pharmacies are able to carry forth with their beneficial
work."

"There are several ways that anyone wanting to know if the prescription medicines
they order over the Internet are safe can do" Hines says.

"First, always look for a license and registration of the pharmacy with a
governmental agency established to set standards for all pharmacies-not just mail
order pharmacies. In the case of Canadian-based pharmacies, this will come from the
provincial governing agency. The registration should be prominently displayed on
the web site of the pharmacy."

"Next, if the 'pharmacy' says it will offer medicines without a prescription, it is
undoubtedly bogus and might even be selling counterfeit and unsafe medicines. No
legitimate pharmacy will provide prescription medicines without a physician's
prescription."

Hines says that the pharmacy should also provide a contact telephone number, and a
legitimate address where it conducts business.

"This ensures that there is a legitimate operation, and if questions should arise,
there is a process in place to answer them or resolve issues."

One certain giveaway is the poor spelling, Hines says.

"Almost all of the pharmacies have repeated misspellings," Hines notes.
Another way to identify reputable pharmacies is to identify their work with and
association with advocacy groups who provide an 'oversight' of the pharmacy's safety
and efficacy.

"One outstanding example is the www.SafeSourceRx.com site, a product of a
cooperative effort by the Congress of California Seniors with a premier mail order
pharmacy," Hines says. "This site reflects a long-standing commitment by CCS to
provide safe prescription medicines at savings of 40 to 80 percent not just to its
membership but to all U.S. citizens.

"This relationship can provide patient clients with the confidence-and the peace of
mind-- that the medicine they are purchasing is legitimate and safe."
