  • Just Don't Do It
    I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and PhD student in Health Psychology. My two siblings killed themselves in 1989 and 1993. I want mandatory mental health education and medication side effect training for parents and teachers.I am tired of seeing adults suffer because since they were kids they have been victims of misdiagnosis and over-medication- especially those diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. I am tired of seeing kids not graduate from high school because they are getting high everyday before school and parents are not being held responsible. I want funding for my "Just Don't Do It" (justdontdoit.us) campagne so that I can teach people what to ask their doctors and DEMAND that suicide prevention be a TOP priority when going to school.

  • In-Home Health Care
    My daughter is disabled (so am I). She needs In-Home health care (a "growth industry" of mostly poor, mostly undereducated, mostly women) who are labeled "adult baby sitters". Training has been cut or is non-existent, few states require training or certification, workers don't even have to pass a health test to prepare meals for your loved one. Urge training, health certification, and bonding, for your loved one's safety and for the protection of the workers.

  • Medical Marijuanna
    Legalizing it. I have RA & can get pain meds, but then I go from bed to couch to bed! I finally quit the 3 serious cancer drugs they had me on & & down to 1/3 the dosage of steriods. The pain meds numb me & take away any ambition. I take a few hits off a joint & my mind gets to working on other things besides my pain & discomfort & next thing I know I am actually getting something done. It's like hitting you thumb with a hammer. The more you stare at it the more it hurts, but put it off to the side & you don't think about it as much. Still hurts but you can do other things! I am 62 years old & my high on life now is having a good day pain wise & trying to get some enjoyment of living! Or your way I sit on the counch like zombie & watch TV & go to bed & do it all over tomorrow. Is that a way to live? It takes the stiffness & pain of joint damage away to where I can do things without being on a narcotic!!!! It's not like I am abusing drugs, getting wild & crazy, I just want to live out what years I have left & be able do manage my pain & enjoy some sort of life! I have proven to my Doctor that I very seldom use the Oxycodone I was prescibed 2 years ago. In fact that prescription has expired & I still have many left. I only use them when I get tired of the pain & need some rest!! Or would you rather see me taking one every 4 hours? That's no life!!!

  • Governor Hickenlooper: Why are anti depressants legal in Colorado?
    Anti-depressants are illegal all over the world because of their close ties to both psychoses and suiciidality. Why are Colorado doctors and nurse practitioners still able to prescribe junk medicine (see e.g. Whitaker, Robert, Anatomy of an Epidemic, New York: Crown Publishers 2009).
