I read your article concerning the prescription drug abuse problem in Bland Co. I see that there is a group of Bland County citizens, "Concerned Citizens", that is taking an active role in the process. Please have them check out www.oxyabusekills.com. There, you will find a wealth of information regarding the Oxycontin epidemic. I belong to a group of dedicated people, who have lost loved one's due to Oxycontin. RAPP, or "Relatives Against Purdue Pharma", is concerned with the abuse problem and lobbying the FDA to return Oxycontin back to the medical necessity of it manufacture - treating those with terminal illnesses and those patients with severe chronic pain. If we stand together, perhaps we all can make a difference and put an end to this ever growing problem. Thank you, Ed Vanicky Columbus, Ga. [end]
