Input from New Member, Richard Cassidy, Oklahoma

Richard has some input:

I truly believe that you can't talk about this "so called disease" without interjecting some politics into the conversation. They go hand in hand. It is politics and money that keeps this gravy train rolling for big Pharma. And when one talks about this issue, you have got to follow the money trail.

Which brings Lobbyists into the conversation. As fragile as our Democracy is now, it is still a Democracy. And certain things have got to be pointed out in order to get something done. First and foremost, my main goal is to try and stop this madness of ruining peoples lives.

One thing, any person wants is to be taken seriously. I have been going through this pain for too long, without doing something about it. I have a brother who works for MERCK and he also has gone through 2 back surgeries, but without Dep-Medrol, and he's doing good.

From cofounder, Karen Kovacik: I think we all know it is big business and depo medrol poses a huge potential problem. Our goal is to get our ducks in a row and hopefully get some congressional hearings. This is down the road and patience will be required in order to present a cohesive and coherent front that will take this disease to the public.

Thank you for your input, Richard.
