PETITION TO PASS MANDITORY CRIMINAL SENTENCING FOR THE ILLEGAL SALE OF OPIOIDS

We, the undersigned citizens of the United States of America, petition the U.S. Congress to pass legislation setting the mandatory minimum criminal sentence for the illegal sale of opioids to be “25 Years to Life” without the possibility of early parole.

It is our position that the illegal sale of opioids is contributing to the downfall of American society and is killing our children, family members and friends. As such, the penalty for the illegal sale of opioids must be so severe that it far outweighs any potential financial gain from the sale of this poison.

Additionally, we petition members of the U.S. Congress to place stringent requirements on the manufacturers of prescription opioids requiring manufacturers to report physicians to the Federal Bureau of Investigation whose distribution of prescriptions for opioids exceeds the average of physicians in the region by more than twenty (20%) percent.
