Saving American Lives
We can all agree that saving American lives must be our top priority.
In 2016, we lost over 64,000 American lives to drug overdose deaths. In 2017, we lost over 72,000 American lives to drug overdoses--more than the number of service members we lost in the Viet Nam War and the two Iraq Wars combined. The numbers went down by 4% across our nation in 2018, but we still lost more than 60,000 Americans last year. As fentanyl continues to be shipped from Chinese labs across our borders, we are essentially fighting chemical warfare on our home turf.
Let's work together and listen to each other. Let's respect our fellow Americans--even those suffering from addiction. Let's find solutions to save American lives.
