BIEL should be partnered with "Fed Up". Look at Fed Up's Platform:
2015 Fed Up! Coalition Platform
We are in the midst of a severe epidemic of opioid addiction and overdose deaths acknowledged by the federal government as the worst drug epidemic in U.S. history.
Overprescribing of opioids has harmed millions of pain patients and led to sharp increases in addiction, heroin use, injection related diseases and infants born opioid-dependent.
The epidemic is having a catastrophic impact on families and communities and is placing a tremendous strain on our health care system, workforce, and legal system.
To date, the response from the federal government has been slow and tragically ineffective. Together, we must find new ways to prevent opioid addiction, to ensure access to effective opioid addiction treatment and to reduce opioid overdose deaths.
The BIEL PR Dept should be all over this. An activist organization ready to hit the street and protest the prescription drug epidemic. Most of these people have family or friends that have died due to drug overdose. BIEL's non-drug, non-addictive pain relief products are a perfect fit to reduce drug use.
