Holder Announces Support for Police Carrying Overdose Reversal Drug

Obama Administration Supports Expanded Use of Opiate Overdose Reversal Drug by Police, Medical Personnel

(WASHINGTON DC) - The Justice Department today posted a video message on their website encouraging law enforcement professionals to carry naloxone, a drug that safely reverses opiate overdoses, with them at all times.

The drug is cheaply available in a nasal spray under the brand name Narcan and those departments that have used it have seen tremendous reductions in the number of overdose deaths in their communities. Seventeen states have already acted to increase the use of naloxone...

Mother of Diane Downs Asks Oregon Governor to Review Case and Conviction

If you look carefully at the evidence that was presented to convict my daughter, you will find it to be flawed in several places...

(DALLAS) - I am the mother of Diane Downs. My husband has written three letters to you and has never been given the decency of a reply. I'm wondering if that is the policy for the state of Oregon or just your own policy.

I have a few questions that I would like answered, if you don't mind.

A Letter from The Chief... Barack`s Back - And Why I Don`t Have It

Growing economic disparity worldwide, suicidal as it is, remains a tactical problem...

(DAYTONA BEACH) - I received a letter from the President, on White House Stationery - seriously. It was headlined "Have You Still Got My Back?"

It consisted of three pages about why the two of us should be proud of what we've accomplished since 2008, while Page 4 simply gave me the option of sending a check, a money order or my favorite credit card numbers...

Costco Sting Operation

Had the Obama administration been successful, I am sure I would have spent the rest of my life in solitary confinement and cut off from the world.

(EUGENE) - In the Orwellian world we live in, one need not commit a crime to be arrested and thrown in prison. One only need discuss committing a crime or have it determined that one has the disposition for committing a crime.

The NSA searches the world for unsuspecting innocent victims so FBI agents can attempt to entrap them and send them to prison.

AG Eric Holder Calls Rise in Heroin Overdose Deaths ``an urgent public health crisis``

Make yourself comfortable Mr. Holder and I will lay out the corrupt trail from the makers of Zohydro ER, to the physicians who profited from the push for opioids over the years minimizing the risks of addiction, to the pharma financed pain foundations funded by pharma and ending right at the doors to the FDA.

(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - Mr. Holder stated this week that heroin overdoses increased by 45 percent between 2006 and 2010.

So what are you going to do about it Mr. Holder? You're vowing to fight this urgent public crisis. When are you going to call for a full investigation into the FDA's approval of Zohydro ER (made by Zogenix) scheduled to be launched this month?

Congressman Brady Asks Hagel Why SEAL Team Questions Remain Unanswered

What really happened to US Navy SEAL Team 6? Families of the Navy SEAL Team credited with the capture and killing of bin Laden: questions about their son's deaths and the treatment of their remains... still unanswered.

(SALEM) - One of the most bizarre and unprecedented events in modern U.S. military history, one that is extremely personal to the families of Navy SEAL Team 6, is unfolding mostly outside the view of the American public.

Navy SEAL Michael Strange is one of 31 American fighting men who lost their lives in Afghanistan on 6^th August 2011 after reportedly being shot down by a "lucky shot" by a Taliban militant with a rocket launcher.

Outrageous Oregon Contract Disasters

These sound like jokes, but they are what actually happens when public agencies must contract their projects out to for-profit contractors in the capitalist economy.

(PORTLAND) - Don’t Oregon public agencies need sharper lawyers and better due diligence to negotiate with private contractors? During the past few days, we’ve heard that

(1) Portland can’t collect more than $600,000 in penalties from screwups by the builder of its new streetcars...

Liz Wahl is a Wet Dream for Corporate American Mainstream News

Russian Television allows national dissent on the air, American TV doesn't... what gives?

(SALEM) - It takes all of 90 seconds watching Russia Television (RT) to know that this Russian government funded news agency is pro-Putin. There is no question, no revelation to be had, yet their former anchor, Liz Wahl, made a spectacle out of herself this week by resigning on the air, stating that this news outlet "whitewashes" the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Liz Wahl is wrong, not about the station's leanings toward Putin; that is a no brainer, but for taking advantage of her position and putting on a show that must have made the US mainstream news outlets salivate.

VA Accountability: a Project of Concerned Veterans for America

See you on Thursday...for our Country and our Veterans

(MEDFORD) - Suffice it to say, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is worried. News stories of persistent backlogs, destruction of records, and preventable deaths are flooding the airwaves -- and VA is in full-panic mode. Yet nothing has changed. Nobody has been fired. There is still no accountability inside VA's calcified bureaucracy.

But with your help, we can change this. The subject of this email is "Will you write a letter for our veterans?" because next week -- on Thursday, March 13 -- legions of CVA staff and volunteers across the country will come together to write hand-written letters to their Senators and Congressmen. It's our second "National Day of Action" and and we need your help.

How the ``Gatekeeper`` and His ``Trailblazers`` Paved the Way for Zohydro ER (Heroin in a Capsule)

How did we become victims of the greatest marketing ploy ever created by the pharmaceutical industry, physicians working for these pharmaceutical companies, the financially rewarded pain foundations set up by pharma and last, but not least, the FDA?

(MYRTLE BEACH, SC) - The U.S. and Canada are waging a war against death, addiction and abuse to the over prescribing of prescription drugs as well as the lack of facilities to treat those victims who become horrifically addicted to these painkillers.

We are now facing yet another killer opioid hitting the pharmacy shelves this month called Zohydro ER or as it is popularly known "heroin in a capsule."
