From Congressman Andy Harris:
On October 26, President Trump declared the opioid addiction epidemic a Public Health Emergency. Congressman Andy Harris, M.D. (MD-01), issued the following statement in support of the President’s declaration:
“As a physician, I know that opioid addiction does not discriminate based on race, gender, income level, or location. Maryland has been hit particularly hard by the opioid epidemic. In 2016, 89% of all intoxication deaths in Maryland were linked to opioid abuse, and the frequency of opioid-related deaths quadrupled from 2010 to 2016. Education, prevention, and treatment are all critical factors in preventing the further spread of this terrible epidemic.
In Maryland, Governor Hogan is leading a great effort to save lives here at home, and in Washington, the U.S. House of Representatives has passed a spending bill that provides more than $1 billion in funding to combat the nationwide opioid epidemic. More can and must be done – both in Maryland and across the country. I applaud President Trump for declaring the opioid epidemic a Public Health Emergency. His leadership in this crisis will enable an even stronger response and save more precious lives.”
Hey Andy, don’t you ever get tired of pandering to the public AND sucking Donald Trump’s tiny “member”?
BTW, you can’t cut taxes AND spend more on social programs like opioid addiction without spiking the deficit! Hypocrisy!
Why has Andy Harris stopped having district community meetings? Is he afraid of district voters?
As you should know, only too well, the district meetings are held during a recess. Of course being a curmudgeon qualifies you to attempt to smear someone. Try again, Art.
A Congress Person can hold a public district meeting any time they want. Harris’s last PDM was in March 2017. Whats he afraid of? The public? Arty Nasty is such a nasty “teabagger” he has trouble with reality and the truth. He never even apologized for claiming that “Nancy, Harry and Barry” were “terrorists”.. Come on, stop being an alt-right neo-facist political troll. You dont have to be a Republican zombie. Think.! Question authority!, Be Skeptical! Take Fox off the box!
P.S. My name is not Art. That’s your name, Arty! Remember? Your brain may be confused by fear and conspiracy
If he attempts to hold a meeting it’ll be swarmed by liberals who’ll NEVER quit crying about losing the election and they’ll shout down anything he tries to say – because shouting down anything you disagree with is the way of the left. They’d be even happier if violence broke out and it could run looped on the “main stream” media 24/7. No one’s mind would be changed by this so I’m not sure why you’d even advocate for it unless it’s for these very reasons. I guess angry letters and ranting on the Dagger just don’t satisfy like ranting to his face would. He might be a crap politician, I don’t know but I can’t blame him for not bothering to try reaching out to you.
Qwerty: Andy Harris is afraid of the public. He is afraid of messy democracy. Afraid of violence! Afraid of change! Afraid of shouting!. Public district meetings are the backbone of democracy. The Congressman can not hide in his district offices and just tweet, e-mail,and facebook. Andy Harris is afraid of democracy because he is afraid of the public. You “cant blame him for not bothering” with the democratic process. Wow! What form of government do you like? Despotism? That’s what you just described! Andy Harris cant stand the heat of democracy so he hides in his sanctuaries arrogant and fearful like a despot!
Not only do they come out to shout him down they are paid to do so by George Soros. Ignore comments by “Mike Callahan” who is a really failed and flawed politician.
