PRESIDENT TRUMP : WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND A NATIONAL STATE OF EMERGENCY TO STOP THE HEROIN/OPIOID PANDEMIC IMMEDIATELY.

DEAR PRESIDENT TRUMP, IN COORDINATION WITH: U.S CONGRESS, U.S SENATE,  DR. VIVEK MURPHY, (SURGEON GENERAL) AND KEMP CHESTER  (ACTING NATIONAL DRUG CZAR):

The following statement explains the process of the terms of a National State of Emergency. OUR CURRENT OPIOID PANDEMIC MEETS THE CRITERIA.
