Dear Care2 Friends,
I have a favour to ask of each of you. This week, please do at least one of the following for Mary Neal and her cause.
(i.e. Promote, Petition, Encourage, Belong/Join, Note, Recommend)
And please, if you can, do more than one...
******

MARY NEAL'S MENTALLY ILL BROTHER
*
Larry Neal died while imprisoned. Why was he in jail?
How did he die? Why the secrecy?  Why can't his family have the arrest records?  Why won't they conduct an investigation like the law says for anyone who dies on government property or in government custody?
*
Neither Shelby Count Jail in Memphis, Tennessee
nor
The USDOJ, which was in overview of the jail
nor
Shelby County Government
nor
The State of Tennessee Governor...
*
Nor... any authority the family has contacted in the past five years will answer this simple question:
*
WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY NEAL?
*
Now his family is being threatened and endangered for asking
...see this site...
The Wrongful Death of Larry Neal

Here's what YOU can do:
(N.B. all links are in yellow highlight)
PETITION: Dog Justice for the Mentally Ill: please read, sign and share

*************

PROMOTE: Watch these YouTube videos and...
Cochran Firm fraud 1 and 2 
and
ask your contacts to do the same!
leave comments, stars, etc., to boost awareness of Larry Neal's death and his family's dire straits. It would be wonderful if you would...
*
ENCOURAGE: Give Support & Prayers to Mary Neal

'NOTE'  & RECOMMEND: Mary's news and articles:
on C2NN, and on NowPublic [See "Duo"]

e.g.
"Sick Inmate Beaten to Death By Guard ~ USDC Denies Justice re: Wrongful Death of Larry Neal and Cochran Firm Fraud"

Decriminalize mental illness.  Prisons are not for warehousing disabled people.
*
"In 2006, over 7.2 million people were on probation, in jail or prison, or on parole at year end 2006 -- 3.2% of all U.S. adult residents or 1 in every 31 adults." ~ U.S. Department of Justice

1.25 million mentally ill Americas are now in prison for not "acting right"  -
Not hospitals or Community Care, but PRISON

That was 3 years ago. Things are much worse now.

But You Can Help!

SUCCESS STORY: 
Jeff Wood, gaoled mental patient was
condemned to die
and Mary fought for him, day and night...
As Mary told us: "THANK YOU CARE2! For giving us this mode of communication to tell the high officials of the world what we think! And thank GOD ALMIGHTY that sometimes they actually listen! Jeff Wood has been granted a STAY OF EXECUTION! ...Now I can tell everybody and get some sleep. Blessings, Mary"
