I hope this group isn't afraid to focus on the root of the problem - an open border, which makes it so easy for drug dealers to bring this horrible drug into our country.

Here's an idea: lobby Congress to STOP all the drug advertising on television. Young people watching American t.v can conclude only this: drugs are acceptable, there's a drug for every problem, and adults use them all the time. We can hardly set that example - constantly - and expect our youth to not follow it.

Fentanyl test strips are inexpensive and easy to use. Given young people will experiment with drugs and given the ubiquity of fentanyl in all types of so-called recreational drugs, the strips should be made available for free just as condoms often are.

Yes - the border is where this problem is originating in the US. Close the border. Stop the human trafficking, drugs, etc.
