Quote of the day
All Americans have a responsibility to encourage people to turn away from the losing spiral of addiction and to make good choices in life. But the great thing about our country, and the reason I'm so optimistic, is there are thousands and thousands of people willing to take the lead in their own communities -- people who have seen a problem and said, we're going to do something about it, like this good woman right here from Eastern Kentucky. She said, we live in rural America, and we got a significant prescription drug problem that's affecting every family in that area. And so instead of wringing her hands, she said, I think I'm going to do something about it, and has led the charge. We can help. But it's her initiative, along with thousands of others, who have stepped up and said, we're going to save lives one soul at a time. Why? Because they love America, and they love their neighbor, just like they'd like to be loved themselves.
