3 Measures Delegate John Overington Supports, That I Completely Oppose and Email From Constituent Who Completely Opposes Script for Sudafed – Sudafed Up

Word comes to me yesterday via Email, that, Delegate John Overington, #62, Supports measure forcing Families to get Scripts for Cold Medicine with Sudafed in it.  This does not surprise me as John also support’s 2 other measures that trample on your personal freedoms and liberties.  It appears that John has no regard for the Majority in his district when it comes to protecting your Liberties and Freedoms.

Delegate Overington supports what is called “The Blood Bill”, the measure that allows law enforcemenet via traffic stop, without probable cause to draw your blood to check you for Substances and Alcohol without protection from the 4th Amendment.  There has been much discussion about this over the last few months and I vehemently oppose this measure.

Also, Delegate Overington supports Speed Scamera’s, as you can read here: http://www.journal-news.net/page/content.detail/id/602327/Delegate-champions-speed-cameras.html?nav=5002

In the comments section on the above Article, Delegate Overington has taken it to a personal level by attacking me under the name, WVPRO2A.  He gave himself away when he mentioned about the picture he sent around to the whole statehouse about me and media, fearing I am sure, that his seat is in jeopardy.  So he resorts to tactics of poor taste.

It is time for John to take a seat on the sideline and watch after this upcoming election cycle.  He has become completely out of touch and embarrassment to the Conservative Party.  His support for such measure’s completely go against your Liberties and Freedoms.

Here is the email I received yesterday about Sudafed Up from Delegate Larry Kump and then a response I got from one Legislator about John Overington’s support for forcing you to get a prescription for Sudafed.  I was asked to keep the name off the email.

Dear Delegate Kump;

 Thank you for the email outlining current legislative thoughts toward more restrictions on pharmaceutical purchases.  Please vote against any pharmaceutical  restrictions on Sudafed or anything else.

 

 Previously, when we got sick with common wintertime  ailments (cold, flu, bronchitis, coughing, etc.) we could call the family doctor and he would do a phone interview and promptly call in an antibiotic prescription, to be coupled with over the counter recommended pharmaceuticals (i.e. Sudafed).  Then the government thought they knew better what was good for us, so they prohibited prescriptions without an office visit and made the Sudafed and other OTC drugs hard to get and limited.  This destroyed a system that allowed us to quickly eliminate the disease, stay healthy and productive

 

 Now the procedure is that we call the doctor for an appointment, but he can’t see us because there are a limited number of doctors and everybody gets sick at the same time (cold and flu season).  The doctor says go to the emergency room but that is an $ 800 out of pocket expense, so that is not going to happen unless we are dying, or you are on welfare where you never really have to pay the hospital.  Since we can’t get antibiotics, the cold goes down into the chest and sets up an infection, so we develop a terrible cough, fever, and feel lousy.  This goes on for two to three weeks, instead of the previous few days.  We also get to stand in line for 20 minutes down at the rite aid because the druggist is very busy and filling out forms to buy Sudafed is not his first priority.  Those that have poor resistance continue to decline until they have to go to the emergency room for hospitalization or they die. 

 

 Legislatures are doing a magnificent job of taking a wonderful private health care system and pushing it backwards 100+  years.  Now we all sit around and shove warm salt water up our nose to kill infection like the ancient Romans used to do and try to figure out what homeopathic medicine we can take that will work best.  Those that work have to take off or make everybody else in the office sick (which doesn’t work well when you are self employed, like my wife is), because you can’t eliminate the fever quickly and you’re infectious as long as you have one. 

 

 The elitist legislators that come up with such moron type ideas as restricting pharmaceutical treatment have no common sense and are nothing but a burden to the working class of people.  Unfortunately, they will never come to appreciate our problems because they have enough connections to get themselves and their family medically treated promptly. 

 

 Anyway, please vote against these Legislative “good idea fairies” and their stupid proposals. 

Thanks.

I than sent around the following response to this email: 

Subject: Re: Sudafed & Prescription Drugs

This perfectly exemplifies what I have been saying all along and writing about.  Please share that with the whole statehouse when u get chance.   

I than got the following reply back from one legislator about John Overington:

Done.

 Of course, Delegate Overington wants to make Sudafed available only with a Doctor’s prescription. He simply doesn’t get it.
