Here is the 2016 DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM using the Adobe word search function and not one mention of the word PAIN in the 55 pages of this document… there are several mention of the word ADDICTION in their platform. There is also several mentions of the word DISABILITY..
You can come to your own conclusion as to where disabled chronic pain pt’s future stands !

Neither party has chronic pain in their agenda. Please show us where these words show up on the Republican or independent side. I’m sure you’ll see the same.
These kind of one sided blog posts do not further the plight of chronic pain patient’s and their struggles.
Are you using your pain advocacy blog in hopes of a Republican or independent victory in November? Please show me how that will help a chronic pain patient.
I have been posting this graphic for months… IMO.. it is pretty non-political party.. both sides have their “establishment” that seems to wish to be in control regardless of the wishes of the voters. The only way that a dramatic change can even hope to be made is to start with a clean slate in Congress… wipe out the “establishment” from both parties… only then .. can we hope that they will listen to the needs of the chronic pain community… if cleaning house happened once.. it can happen a second or third time…
Agree, gridlock is the problem, but the political climate on both sides is stamping out addiction. Cleaning house only brings in different faces from the same playbook. Who running this year has interest in helping the chronic pain patient?
Historically 99% of those in Congress that wish to get re-elected and runs.. gets re-elected.. If I was in their shoes I could consider that a mandate to continue to keep doing what I had been doing. Congress functions on a seniority system.. as long as the establishment/seniority system remains in place.. they will continue business as usual.. it is just like having an infection… you only take antibiotics for a couple of days instead of the 7-10 you are suppose to… the infection will come back and probably be worse. IMO.. Congress and the establishment within Congress is so corrupt is the only way to make things back to some order is to “sterilize” the system.. all seniority will be gone… all the millions that the lobbyists have spent to get what they want out of Congress will go POOF – GONE… 9 million dollars a day spent by lobbyist .. they will have to start from scratch getting members of Congress on “long term leases”
psss,,,the word ”pain” missing is intentional. We know.,,their have been 29,000 letter sent to every congressmen in the country about thee torture and genocide that is happeing to all cpp,,,,,Sooo,”they” know what is happening to us,,,,but u got klondyne telling them,,,its just like after ther civil war,and,1880 thru early 1900’s,,I watch Klondyn this weekend on the history channel,,narrating ,” history of opium,”,,,,he talked about all what he labeled addicts in those days ,thus the need for the Harrison Act,”and how 10,000 doctors were arrested back them,rightfully soo Klondyne said,,,for refusing to follow the Harrison Act,,alllll bullshit,,,but that is klondynes playbooks,,,ie,,,history,,,he is 100% repeating prohibition ,,but this time he is outright lying to our federal government and their believing him,,cause it make the politician ,”look good,”,,like their fighting this war on drugs and save thee addicts,,,,,it all about money folks, and telling us what we can and cannot put in OUR bodies,,,But every freaken politician knows exactly what their doing to us..the harm,suffering and torture they have caused us…They just justify in their minds hurting us,by lieing to ,”;look good,” in the eye’s of those in the public who are NOT effected by all this torture and genocide forced upon the medically ill.,,maryw
Steve: if your doc reads the law… chronic painers who are considered “incurable” are exempt like those with cancer and end of life.. and besides… I believe that is more AG Zoeller that is the problem. He is the one that forced the medical licensing board to pass the mandatory urine testing… only to be sued by the ACLU for violating the 4th Amendment – unreasonable search and seizure.
I am definitely NOT voting for the same old thing..Thee last 40 years of our country has seen NOTHING but decline,,employment,gone,raises gone,housing price aweful,,the rich owning 90 percent of all the money,,,,however..Trumps v.p. scares me,,,He is from Indiana and Indiana just voted to restrict are medicines even more,,,,Sooo,,what to do????maryw
