SAVE OUR CHILDREN FROM THE DRUG EPIDEMIC IN OUR COUNTRY!

WE NEED LAWMAKERS AND HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS TO HELP US END THE EPIDEMIC OF DRUGS IN OUR COUNTRY THAT IS TAKING THE LIVES OF OUR CHILDREN. CHANGE LAWS TO ENFORCE REHABILITATION INSTEAD OF INCARCERATION AND STOP DOCTORS FROM DISPENSING PAIN MEDICATIONS UNNECESSARILY. COVER THE COST OF MENTAL HEALTH CARE FOR THOSE AFFECTED BY ADDICTION. PROGRAMS OF AFTERCARE ARE NEEDED FOR THOSE LEAVING REHAB SO THEY ARE NOT FORCED BACK ON THE STREETS. THE WAR ON DRUGS DID NOT WORK. IT'S TIME FOR A NEW DIRECTION. THERE ARE AT LEAST 10 PEOPLE AFFECTED BY AN ADDICTED LOVED ONE. THAT MEANS MOST AMERICANS ARE AT ONE TIME AFFECTED. WE MUST NOT LOSE ONE MORE YOUNG PERSON TO THIS DISEASE.
