Dear pain management advocates of the listServs of the Pain Relief Network (PRN), National Foundation for the Treatment of Pain (NFTP), and Our Chronic Pain Mission (OCPM),

Deborah is now in custody of the BOP, Alderson WV. She had to report on June 5, 2006.
This is a black day for us here.

I am very thankful of your indulgence in allowing me to lurk on this site, and would be very appreciative of the opportunity to expound on my personal feelings concerning the war on Physicians and Pain Patients.

Yesterday on June 5th, at high-noon, I had to deliver up my wife, Dr. Deborah Bordeaux, to the BOP authorities at FPC Alderson, WV. Had it not been for the extremely supportive and heroic measures of Siobhan and PRN, as well as her Attorneys, it would have no doubt been sooner and for a longer period of time, although 2 years will seem as eternity.

It is not often that I open my feelings, but the overwhelming gratitude and affection I feel for you cannot be held silent. I am painfully aware of the sacrifices you have made to afford us some comfort in our time of need. It will never be forgotten, and will eternally remain in our hearts.

To ensure aid to you friends and colleagues as you have, is to ensure a boundary of right, which enables us to render to every person without distinction his just due. This is a virtue that is not only consistent with Divine and human law, but is the very cement and support of a civil society.

Love, in a great measure constitutes people that are real and good. These principles have served to forge our societies from the days of the wisdoms of King Solomon, to the foundations of modern man, guided by fortitude, temperance, prudence, and mercy. Fortitude for a noble and steady purpose of mind, Temperance to practice due restraint, Prudence to dictate our reason, and Mercy to give, so that from our Creator, mercy we might receive. Truth is a Divine attribute, and being true to your friends and colleagues will surely help pave the way for you, when you enter that house not made with human hands, eternal in the Heavens.

We will stay in touch, wherever life may lead us, and if ever we can be of help to you or your loved ones, all that we have will be at your disposal. Hopefully someday we can repay you for your support and kindness, and our prayers will be of your health and happiness.
