Signed. That felt good...like I did my part even though I can't go to the March. I am really shocked that there are only a couple hundred signatures...considering all the pain sufferers that are in this country. C'mon CPS, this is what you want, this is being done for YOU!!! Help them help us!!
Try sending something like this to everyone in your address book in addition to signing:
The AMA estimates there are 70-80 million chronic pain patients in the US;
the Drug Enforcement Administration (medical experts that they are)
estimates the number is more like 9-10 million (maybe 10M +1 after
Ashcroft's Gallbladder removal). As a consequence of this discrepency in
outlook, the DEA has been applying extensive pressure to pharmacists,
physicians and chronic pain patients. The petition on the following web page
requests that congress hold hearings in an attempt to reconcile the two
wildly divergent perspectives between the DEA and the AMA on this painful
issue. Please have a look. Thanks, xxxxx.
