target their money and their resources to get people addicted. so that. they become wealthier. so. what brings me to this entire conversation. is that. i don't want to people to die. and if it means changing policies. change educating people so that they are aware of the choices that they have in bringing more choice to people and then that's what i'm about that's what i'm fighting for and we can at least sit by and let them kill us. so. that's why i'm involved.
