Enough is enough!

I have had it with the half truth being spread by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP).

For two years or more, the "fed" has been hyping that drug use by America's kids is down by 24% since 2001.. That is the truth... but not the whole truth.

According to the same base of data used by ONDCP to generate its number, drug use by our kids is UP by 52% since 1992. That, my friends, is the whole truth.

Why are we allowing national leadership to "spin" our children into their graves?

Maybe, more importantly, why do you think the national Drug Czar is doing this?

Hi Everyone! I live in Richmond, Virginia and I am trying to "blanket" our community with The Surgeon General's Call to Action To Prevent and Reduce Underage Drinking 2007. This is a free, comprehensive, and user friendly booklet published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. I just got off the phone with Lou and he asked me to post this information. He plans on including the info. to obtain this booklet on the resource section of the Passages web site. You can receive up to 50 booklets by calling 1 800 729-6686 or fax a request on letterhead explaining why you need more copies to 240 221-4292, attention Kim Holmes. I ordered some myself and then asked family and friends to obtain more copies. I've been handing them out at appropriate venues to parents as well as school administrators. There are also three amazing Guides available.....one for families, one for community and one for educators. I highly recommend all of these free publications. Good luck in your community!!

Welcome! I am very excited to begin this new chapter of P2P. This forum is for our entire Parent-To-Parent family. Parents, Facilitators and anyone else who wants to make a positive impact on the raising of our children in today's Toxic Culture.

I invite all of you to register and take advantage of this great opportunity.

Give some basic information such as, location, how long with P2P, how often do you have classes, how many facilitators and we love to read about P2P stories.
