Comcast Newsmakers: Moeller on Prescription Drug Abuse
Our State Representative, Jim Moeller is a substance abuse counselor with Kaiser.

As our state representative, Jim recently authored landmark legislation that sets new licensing rules for medical practitioners who prescribe drugs in Washington. The new laws requires integration of other forms of pain management.

Voter’s react to positive message
Here was a reaction to our recent commercial broadcast on MSNBC
I just watched your ad on MSNBC (tivo’d from Keith Olbermann)….it actually brought tears to my eyes — and I guess it’s because I’m tired of people who make me think I should be embarrassed to believe what I believe. I’m tired of hearing that elections don’t matter, and of people taking advantage of the scared and angry citizens in America each day. I’m sick of hearing that we’re all nuts just because somebody came along and said “liberal” means soft on crime, soft on drugs, soft on Communism, soft on defense — and that liberals want to tax everyone because we believe that people shouldn’t work if they don’t want to work.
Instead of saying “Well, excuse me, you right-wing, reactionary, xenophobic, homophobic, anti-education, anti-choice, pro gas, ‘Leave it to Beaver’ trip back to the fifties,” we typically cower in the corner.
Positive messages like yours are a proverbial punch to the people who believe this country can be bought by bad people with money. I’m very proud to call myself a Democrat because of people like you. So thanks again.
