Moeller Receives Recognition of Service from The New York Times!

Yesterday, Barry Meier of The New York Times described in his article, “Move to Restrict Pain Killers Puts Onus on Doctors,” how Washington State’s government, Representative Moeller specifically, has taken an unprecedented step to rein in doctors’ seemingly limitless authority to prescribe powerful pain killers in seemingly limitless quantities.  Representative Moeller understands that narcotics, when prescribed hastily and in unsuitable amounts, pose just as real of a threat to an individual’s health as narcotics obtained through illegal means.  Please read this illuminating story, just another example of our Representative’s leadership: leadership that works for us!

Children’s Alliance End of Session Report: 2010

During our last legislative session we sincerely attempted to aid and protect all our citizens, young and old alike.  Below is an excerpt from a letter recieved from Teresa Mosqueda at the Children’s Alliance:

Throughout the 2010 Legislative Session, the Children’s Alliance worked hard to keep children and family priorities at the center of policy decisions and budget discussions. In the hardest legislative session in living history, the Children’s Alliance played a pivotal role by working closely with elected officials and our coalition partners to preserve essential funding and many critical support systems for Washington’s children.  Please read the 2010 Legislative Session Review for an in-depth look at what was accomplished for kids, the setbacks that were averted, and the next steps we’re taking to keep children and families at the top of the priority list for next year.
