IMPORTANT RALLY INFORMATION REGARDING MEDIA - POSTED MARCH 23, FRIDAY
This is the media advisory my PR is sending out. Feel free to use with  YOUR state's information. Two weeks prior to the rally, the press  release, under the FILES section, will be sent out. You can put my name  on the media advisory if you're not comfortable speaking with the media.  The media that has been reaching out, I'm discussing:

 1. The overdosing epidemic (In my state 314 ODs...199 had Fentanyl..waiting  on car-Fentanyl-related deaths.) I can't say because I don't know. Know  your facts. It takes months to receive car-Fentanyl related. So stick w  2016.
 2. CDC over-corrected guidelines. My senator conceded over-corrected.
 3. Because of the guidelines, CPPs, Veterans, cut off abrubtly. Many have taken their lives.(SUICIDE LIST IS IMPERATIVE)
 4. IV shortage in hospitals (does your state have their hospitals stocked appropriately)
 5. CPPS treated inhumanely..like criminals.
 6. Government focusing on addiction facilities $$$$
 7. PCPs won't prescribe, use government as reason.
 8. PM centers are impossible to find.
 9. Horrible treatment in ERs.
10. Post-op care = suffering
11. Veterans/CPPs have resorted to lawsuits. We're seeking and getting  responses from attorneys interested in class action lawsuits.

14. ER Compassion Bills are being introduced due to the severity.
