107,000 And Counting

 Last year 107,000 Americans died from drug overdoses. Of these, 70,000 died from fentanyl poisoning. 80% of these deaths were to young people between the ages of 18 and 44. Many of these murders were to moms and dads who have left their children to be raised in places other than their homes. Yet, nobody cares that our government could put a dent in the number of deaths with immediate legislation to stop funding to Mexico; the port of entry into the USA. Yes, Republicans as well as Democrats alike do not care. It seems as if the only people who care are those who have had loved one die.

I have written my congressman, Troy Balderson, a Republican, too many letters to count regarding this subject. And what has been his response. Well, the answer is moths and crickets. It's almost as if he's a clone of Helen Keller. 

This fentanyl crisis is a war and the Chinese producers are winning without firing a shot. 

I have one more item on my agenda. Did you know more people in the United States died of fentanyl just last year than all the men and women who died in the Vietnam War? And that's the truth.
