Helen,

Thank you for sending the petition. I have taken the time to write the following letter to all of my friends, family and other contacts from my address book asking them to help me. Actually, I don't take Oxycontin anymore, but would not appreciate it if they came after mscontin as well. I ask all of you to send out your own letters asking your friends and family to help you. If you want you may just cut and paste my letter and send it...just change the name. Think of the thousands of people we can get to sign this petition if we all do this. If you participate in any other groups...like this group....send it to them as well.

God Bless!

Dear Friends and Family,

I suffer with chronic pain and have for years. It has only been in the last year that I have been able to obtain appropriate treatment to allow me to live a somewhat comfortable existance. Now, because of drug abusers, the federal government is attempting to withdraw the medication Oxycontin from the market. Doctors who prescribe this medication to their patients who suffer from chronic pain are being targeted. They have been arrested, had their licenses revoked and been sent to jail all because they believe in our right to be treated with compassion. A true pain sufferer does not become addicted to medication. They don't get a buzz when they take it. Unfortunately, it is the drug abusers who don't need this medication that are ruining it so that we will not have the medications we so desperately need to survive. I have no doubt that thousands of sufferers, perhaps including myself, would turn to suicide if they cannot receive the treatment they so desperately need.

I am writing to you to ask your help. If you click on the words "Click here: Save OxyContin Petition" you will be taken to a place where you can electronically sign the petition that will help me and millions of Americans live our lives more comfortably. I say more comfortably because no drug takes all of the pain away. It just makes it more bearable.

I hope that all of you will take the time to sign the petition and help me out.
