THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE
this is what the Representatives could be literally looking at if the chronic pain community comes together and VOTES THE BUMS OUT.
So far calls from constituents, letters from constituents , on line petitions has caused not much more than a “virtual pat on the back” that they understand…. BUT… they are concerned about the opiate epidemic. BUT.. they will remember your concerns when a law comes up for action.
Congress passed the Control Substance Act 1970 which created the DEA and they have the legal ability to amend or repeal that law. After 46 yrs all Congress has done has allowed – turned a blind eye/deft ear – the DEA to REINTERPRET that law to establish regulations that suits the DEA’s agenda for the immediate – or longer period.
No one may ever know what/who has influenced this agenda or process… is there lobbyists for certain companies “bending the ear” of the members of the most appropriate Congressional committees. Undoubtedly, the “higher ups” of the DEA have fairly ready access to those same members of Congress.
It would seem that the only individuals that are not able to influence the members of Congress is the constituents that they are suppose to represent.
The question has to be asked.. if they are not listening to you… why are you voting them back into office ?
