Governor LePage, Maine Legislature: Curb the rising tide of drug overdose deaths, support LD 1686‏

Hi,
 
Over the last decade Maine has seen overdose deaths rise
 over 85%. With an average of 170 drug overdose deaths per
 year we lose roughly one person every other day. With the
 recent surge in heroin use, these figures are only expected
 to increase. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that has no 
effect other than to counteract a drug overdose. By expanding
 access to Naloxone we will better ensure that it is in the 
right place at the right time to reverse an opioid overdose.
 
Maine cannot afford NOT to do something about this public 
health emergency. Support LD 1686 would help curb the rising 
tide of drug overdose deaths afflicting Maine citizens. 
 
That's why I signed a petition to The Maine State House, The
 Maine State Senate, and Governor Paul LePage.
 
Will you sign this petition? Click here:

Thanks!
