This election season is going to be maybe a once in a lifetime event for change. On the one hand we have two candidates… one which is winning the majority of the primaries but trails in delegates because the INSIDERS have rigged the process so that their “preferred candidate” will get the nomination of their party.
The other party is just as bad.. some of the INSIDERS are contemplating how the apparent choice of the voters is not acceptable to the INSIDERS and how they can get “their choice” as the nominee of their party.
Of course, all the dust won’t be settled until both conventions are over by the end of July.
Those in Congress are very concerned about how this apparent attempt to “fix” the Presidential election will sit with the voters and could cause a revolt against the incumbents.
I was a video clip this week that Clinton believed that she could keep guns out of the hands of criminals.. all you have to do is look at Chicago and Washington DC, which has some of the toughest gun laws in the country and yet has some of the highest homicide rates. Would she be similarly out of touch about the war on drugs and the medical needs of those in the chronic pain community ?
We are seeing what the anti-opiates groups have accomplished.. getting dozens of bills out of Congress to help addicts get treatment.. at some of the very same facilities that some of the anti-opiate groups operate. They have convinced Congress that addicts deserves COMPASSION… while convincing them that the mere act of prescribing opiates will just create more addicts. Those that are suffering from chronic pain … deserves NO COMPASSION.
If you want change.. you need to be part of change… find the Face Book Page and Twitter of your members of Congress, same for local investigative reporters from the media… you don’t have to tell your story… re-post such stories as this one in Florida
Another “opiate related death” ?
86 y/o that shot/killed his 78 y/o wife because she was in pain and they could not afford her medication. While this is in Florida.. it is happening most everywhere else in the country… what we don’t know is how many suicides are just swept under the rug as a “opiate related death”.
There is TSUNAMI of paranoia running thru Congress… The media is paying attention to that TSUNAMI.. Between now and Nov 8th (election day) may be the BIGGEST OPPORTUNITY to “move the needle”.
A lot of the early Republican Presidential candidates learned a painful lesson that dollars can buy advertising … but.. they can’t buy VOTES..
GET OFF YOUR ASS… while you can.. because the anti-opiate groups are gaining success in reducing and/or taking your opiates away. Just imagine how – OR IF – you are going to function without any pain medications ? THE CLOCK IS TICKING !!!

As Chronic Pain Sufferers we must flood their offices with story’s like mine and do it over and over and over, it’s always The Squeakiest Wheel Gets The Grease! Unrelieved pain can result in a patient limiting the movement of the thoracic and abdominal muscles in a bid to reduce pain. This may cause some degree of respiratory dysfunction with secretions and sputum being retained because of a reluctance to cough. Atelectasis and pneumonia may follow . 13 years of Chronic Pain has caused my heart to weaken to the point I had to have a upgrade from a pacemaker to a defibrillator this pulmonary dysfunction, caused by painful excursion of the diaphragmatic muscles of the chest wall, is also associated with a reduction in vital lung capacity, increased inspiratory and expiratory pressures and reduced alveolar ventilation. The resulting hypoxia can cause cardiac complications, disorientation and confusion and delayed wound healing ! And this is what The Lying Ass Federals want for us not to know ! Therefor they really want for us to commit suicide or cause whatever more illnesses to us that will shut us up and what they have intentionally done to us is convince the idiot heartless powers that be that all Chronic Pain Sufferers are addicts or junkies , that’s how stupid they are.
I have taken this opportunity to share my heartbreaking story in hopes these witch hunting Opiate ill informed skeptics will read and understand that I would have no life without Medically prescribed Opiates by a physicians care and strictly monitored monthly urine and blood test. Please remember that An Opinion Before A Thorough Investigation Is The Epitome Of Ignorance! And that a little more compassion from the Medical Field and its representatives could have saved my beautiful Stepdaughters life. Let me say this! A person who has a addictive personality will abuse anything that helps them feel better. I have taken Oxycontin for 12 years , I have had 20 major surgery’s in 9 years. I have so much physical pain I can not even get out of bed with ouit pain meds and when I run out I run out and just lay in bed praying the Lord relieve me of this horrible condition and I pray God you pain med skeptics never go through what I go through everyday of my life when the only thing you have to do is threaten what help I get, Shame on you! There will always be drug abuse and as the so called war on drugs has failed all this will! All you do is stoke and aid the drug pushers business to knew heights in the Black Market of Heroin while depriving folks as me to this horrible movement! My Stepdaughter committed suicide 4 years ago because of being treated like a drug addict by her family and doctors when all along she suffered from Lupus and Fibro which I believe was brought on by a deadly car crash at 18 , she told me between that which I was being put through and what they were putting her through she was not going to live her life in such a hell brought on by people like you that are on a witch hunt to out law Opiates and pain meds that give us some sort of a life . As a retired Police officer and worked indirectly close to the DEA, you people do not have a clue how thrilled you are making the illegal opiate trade and think of my Late Stepdaughter as you continue on with this bull shit movement to outlaw opiates! Just like the slaughter of children at Sandy Hook if there would have just been gun laws , my God they were Gun Laws , the guns that murdered all those 20 children were all registered and owned by a school teacher! You fight Drug Addiction in Elementary education by teaching all children the dangers of Booze and Tobacco which if these witch hunters want for us to know the real truth but they do not. I miss my Stepdaughter a so much and some of us will continue on the fight to protect our right to feel better and function without fear of these witch hunters trying to convince us to commit suicide . And they are trying to do exactly THAT!
The under line real truth is THESE witch hunters would rather us Chronic Pain sufferers commit suicide are and DRINK all the BOOZE we can drink! The Federals legalized it ( ALCOHOL) knowing its a more deadly drug than Strychnine. And just because the DEA has miserably failed with their bullshit war on drugs why do they deprive us sick people of our Constitutional Rights to be Happy in that pursuit of with Professional Physicians to take meds that give us relief of this horrible malady of Chronic Pain ! May God have mercy on their miserable souls they that seek to destroy us Chronic Pain Sufferers only and little hope of temporary relief of this horrible sickness.
Actually Clinton wants to no citizen to have guns….its her mission to essentially dismantle the 2nd amendment the part that specifically reads ” the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Her daughter Chelsea made that real clear the other day in a speech….Anyone on the left, progressive side of the democratic party has been itching to do this for years. Allow one of those 2 in and make that party the majority and the Supreme Court will destroy the Constitution for generations with the appointments they will be making and approving. Our country will continue to be the laughing stock of the world and worse. Just wanted to make that clarification….But you are correct….everyone’s rights and freedoms are at stake in this election….the current administration and their cronies running for office to continue the status quo are bad news. Even the establishment currently in the majority in congress has several that need to go, but we need to keep the current party in the majority WITH NEW BLOOD, IMO, it may be the only chance to UNDO the damage done to this country over the past 8 years.
The government is the one who made addicts die by arresting and prosecution, when they should have just let them get help . Now the government is helping addicts and doing what they did to them with chronic pain patients / doctors . If the government would stop overreaching and trying to micromanage every aspect of our lives everyone would win . Tell me of Freedom .
