    One of the hardest working Senators in Congress thanks to Rhode Island voters finding the best of the best. I wish Senator Whitehouse ran for president he is so well spoken and nails it every time.

      I’ve been thinking about that for next term. I hope if Biden decides to step down during his term Senator Whitehouse is tapped for VP or other senior position.

      I love your sentiment, but consider this-- if he is elected president he can only serve for 8 years., then he's done. In the Senate he can serve for decades. We need people like him in Congress for the long haul

    There is only two ways to stop illegal drug trade. Make it legal or if there is no demand.

    Someone in Congress that is actually doing what he was elected to do. The people’s business. Hearings and meetings that are designed to solve real problems and make citizens’ lives better.

    WY AND SD are 2 states that are famous for laws that allow and SUPPORT these foreign shell companies. No matter what business model these international companies/ cartels/ mafia orgs know which states are corruption friendly!

    Ask Mitch McConnell to ask his Wife Elaine Chow who's father was allowed to ship too our ports cocaine & Heroin. She would know the contacts her father had in China & in United States, after all she was the Secratery of Transportation, which Mitch Mc Connell was well aware of her activities.

    Thank you much for your work on this issue. You are on the right track in many ways. It was just reported this evening that the CHP has detained 42 lbs. of fentanyl in San Francisco. It was enough fentanyl to kill every San Franciscan 12 times over. The numbers are so bad I want to go back and check myself b/c it's so hard to believe. How much fentanyl do we need? How far could 42 lbs. of fentanyl go?
    The one thing that's forgotten, however, in this ongoing discussion is the extent to which Americans are addicted. The cartels couldn't push so much of this nasty scourge if Americans didn't buy so much of it. It's simple supply and demand. Americans need help with rehab.
    Thank God and the 4 Winds I don't know much about rehab b/c I've never needed it, but if these services can be improved and increased then they need to be. People will never cease to find ways to smuggle fentanyl unless the addicts get the help they need. Otherwise they will be written off as "expendable". That there are so many out there who would take advantage of others like this only to line their own pockets is the epitome of ugliness and hypocracy. When the rubber meets the road in terms of funding for resources, I'd encourage including rehab resources in the mix.
    Thanks again.

      The Demands are from average people who are wanting too make quick money. Only they find out that's not the game. The person we call the Drug Cartel are often the people who are in the one who work in manufacturing plants that make the Drug. Then the Sellers (Drug pushers) push the product to Doctors & Hospitals, who in turn give it too the Ethnic groups they don't want in our society. Then the strong motabolism of a few dozen people don't die from Fentenol but, get hooked & start searching for it on the streets. Then other people see the demand & sttart selling their prescriptions at a wopping 300.00 a pill. Then the Drug Cartell come into play because they don't want anyone else cutting on their game.
      The only way to stop the Cocain, Heroin, Fentenol, LSD, Uppers & Downers etc. Is to Demand the Big Pharmacutical Companies to COMPLETELY STOP MAKING THOSE DRUGS. UNTIL WE DO THIS, WE WILL NEVER RID OUR SOCIETY OF HOMELESS DRUG ADDITITIONS, DRUG PUSHERS, OR CROOKED PHARACUTICAL PRACTICES.
