Support a mom-Young people-antidepressants-suicide
Jan 22, 2008

I just read this last night in a Yahoo group, and got permission to bring it here for some action.  The petition isn't as informational as some petitions are, so here are some links with background.   www.COPESFoundation.com 
www.ILoveYouSarina21last-memories.com
NM Director of the International Coalition for Drug Awareness
www.DrugAwareness.org


Here is the petition link:  http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/COPESfoundation/  .  Here is the memo I wrote, in case anyone is interested in writing separately in support.  If you do, please NM the memo to me, and I can forward to Camille, or Camille's e-mail is on the COPES website, if you'd like to skip me and write directly.  She plans to go to Santa Fe to present these in several days, the time based upon her response in the next 3-4 days.

TO:  The Honorable Members of the Legislative Houses of the State of New Mexico

FROM:  Alison J. Redford
SUBJECT:  Senate Memorial 9,  A MEMORIAL REQUESTING THAT THE NEW MEXICO HEALTH POLICY COMMISSION CONVENE A TASK FORCE TO STUDY POSSIBLE CORRELATIONS BETWEEN ANTIDEPRESSANTS AND SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AND BEHAVIORS AND TO RECOMMEND SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS ANY CORRELATION.
I am writing in support of this Memorial.  I've read of the specific situation of a young woman whose mother is pushing for this necessary Memorial, and I am very familiar with the situation all across the United States.  Children under the influence of antidepressant medications frequently become very disturbed, and all too often, tragedy results.  Please see your ways clear to pass this Memorial, to encourage better therapeutic practices within the State of New Mexico.  Your example will encourage other states to follow your lead.
  
I appreciate your time, and your thoughtful consideration of my message.
~~~~~
If someone's interested in writing but doesn't feel articulate, don't hesitate to copy mine (which isn't that great) and change the name.  for whatever you can do with this.

I want to add that I don't necessarily believe that antidepressant drugs are all bad, nor do I believe they drive everyone to suicide.  I think it's obvious that antidepressants aren't for most young people, and that psychotropic drugs ought to be administered along with face-to-face therapy sessions with appropriately trained and licensed practitioners.  If you write a letter, be at liberty to write what you think, without worrying about me or what I think.  But please think about this, and support a mom who's trying to help.  Simply signing the petition can mean everything to her.  And thanks again!

 Kathy Kelly Bio -
 Kathy Kelly, 53, of Chicago, IL, is co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence. She helped initiate Voices in the Wilderness, a campaign to end the UN/US sanctions against Iraq in 1996. For bringing “medicine and toys” to Iraq in open violation of the UN/US sanctions, she and other campaign members were notified of a proposed $163,000 penalty for the organization, threatened with 12 years in prison, and eventually fined $20,000, a sum which they’ve refused to pay.

Voices in the Wilderness organized 70 delegations to visit Iraq in the period between 1996 and the beginning of the “Operation Shock and Awe” warfare (March 2003). Kelly has been to Iraq twenty four times since January 1996, when the campaign began. In October 2002, she joined Iraq Peace Team members in Baghdad where she and the team maintained a presence throughout the bombardment and invasion. Kelly left Iraq on April 19, 2003 and has returned three times, most recently in May of 2006 when she traveled to northern Iraq. 

Along with three other Voices activists, Kathy was in Beirut, Lebanon during the final days of the Israel-Hezbollah war in the summer of 2006. They subsequently reported from southern Lebanon following a ceasefire.  During the first two weeks of the Gulf War, she was part of a peace encampment on the Iraq-Saudi border called the Gulf Peace Team. Following evacuation to Amman, Jordan, (February 4, 1991), team members stayed in the region for the next six months to help coordinate medical relief convoys and study teams. In 1988 she was sentenced to one year in prison for planting corn on nuclear missile silo sites. Kelly served nine months of the sentence in Lexington KY maximum security prison. 

Kelly has taught in Chicago area community colleges and high schools since 1974. From 1980 – 1986 she taught at St. Ignatius College Prep (Chicago, IL). She is active with the Catholic Worker movement and, as a pacifist and war tax refuser, has refused payment of all Federal income tax for 26 years. Kelly helped organize and participated in nonviolent direct action teams in Haiti (summer of 1994), Bosnia (August, 1993, December, 1992) and Iraq (Gulf Peace Team, 1991). In April of 2002, she was among the first internationals to visit the Jenin camp, where conventional military forces of the Israeli Defense Force had destroyed over 100 civilian homes, in the Occupied West Bank. In the spring of 2004, she served three months at Pekin federal prison for crossing the line as part of an ongoing effort to close an army military combat training school at Fort Benning, GA.

Justice and parity for mentally &/or physically ill prison inmates
Oct 17, 2006
Here is an update on the petition.  The end date was 1/1/07, or today.  Theresa Vaughn has corresponded with me, asking me to snail mail the petition to her to present when she appears before her state legislature in Michigan later this month.  So, I've collected the report and formatted it, and I'll be mailing it to Theresa in the morning.  (Well, Wednesday; POs are closed tomorrow.)

Thank all of you, and you know who you are, for signing this.  There are a number of issues layered in this young man's story, and I chose just one--public oversight of state infrastructure.  I appreciate everything everyone's done to give this petition a respectable number of signatures for presentation to the Michigan legislature--especially since it will be presented in person by Timothy Souder's own mom. 

AJ
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is my first petition here on Care2:  http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/577496396

Please read some background here, www.timothyjoesouders.bravehost.com , here, http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcsdll/article?AID=/20060623/OPINION01/606230343 , and here, http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060821/OPINION02/608210314 . 

Please thoughtfully consider this, and sign.  Additionally, do yourselves and your loved ones the great favor of checking into your own state's corrections system, and make sure there is sunshine and transparency.  We can honor Mr. Souder and his mother, Care2 member Theresa Vaughn, by making sure these tragic incidents are the aberrational exception, rather than status quo.

Tasini who?
Sep 2, 2006
http://www.wnyc.org/news/articles/63871


Tasini Who?

An Underdog Candidate Takes on Sen. Clinton

by Elaine Rivera

·         Listen

·         Download MP3

NEW YORK, NY September 01, 2006 —Until last December, Jonathan Tasini was a full-time labor organizer and strategist. But the Iraq war so infuriated him that he decided to do something about it. Tasini is now a U.S. Senate candidate in the Democratic primary and he has challenged the party's biggest star, Sen. Hillary Clinton. WNYC's Elaine Rivera spent time with Tasini on the campaign trail.

REPORTER: It is an overcast Saturday morning and Jonathan Tasini, dressed in a blue shirt, black slacks and scruffy black sneakers, is standing in the middle of the Union Square green market in Manhattan. He beckons possible voters. But most people stare blankly at the bespectacled Tasini as he passes out his campaign literature. They have no clue who he is.

TASINI: New York Democrats. New York Democrats. New York Democrats by any chance? I'm John Tasini I'm running for U.S. Senate nice to meet you. Hope you consider voting for me Sept. 12 in the primary I'm running mainly because I'm opposed to the Iraq war and the occupation.

REPORTER: The 49-year-old labor organizer appeared to have come out of nowhere. At a recent Clinton campaign event, veteran New York Congressman Charlie Rangel was asked about Tasini. Tasini who? Rangel responded wryly.

With only a $200,000 budget, compared to the $44 million that Sen. Clinton has raised, Tasini says it's been difficult getting out his message. He is campaigning hard so people remember that Clinton voted for the Iraq war. He speaks angrily of the devastating human loss of thousands of American soldiers and Iraqis. He also cites the large numbers of military personnel coming home who have been seriously wounded, many with brain injuries.

TASINI: Think about that. That's something they will live with the rest of their lives because Democrats like Hillary Clinton voted for this war. And I think people have to be held accountable for those kinds of acts.

REPORTER: Tasini says he is not following the anti-war political newcomer Ned Lamont who defeated Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman in the Democratic primary last month.

TASINI: I was against the 91 Gulf War - my initial reaction is war is not the solution. I'm not a pacifist but generally speaking I think war has never solved any disputes between countries.

REPORTER: But Tasini points out that there are other issues that separate him from Sen. Clinton. He is against the death penalty, against the Nafta free trade agreement which he believes has hurt the American economy, and is for a single-payer health care system.

He says he qualified for the ballot by getting volunteers to gather nearly three times the requisite 15,000 signatures. He doesn't understand why the Clinton camp has not been willing to hold a debate so voters could see the differences between the two candidates.

TASINI: It's sad and it doesn't speak well of her to run and hide everybody runs around talking about polls and you know she's so far ahead so if that's true what's her fear...what is she running from?

REPORTER: Doug Muzzio, a public affairs professor at Baruch College CUNY, says Tasini doesn't have a chance - debate or no debate.

MUZZIO: Tasini is no Ned Lamont. He didn't have the resources to communicate his message that Lamont did and Hillary Clinton is no Joe Lieberman. Hillary Clinton's view on the war has been far more nuanced and in fact thoughtful than Lieberman.

REPORTER: With less than two weeks away from the primary election, a Clinton spokeswoman said they are waiting to see how the campaign develops before they decide whether to hold a debate.

To run for the campaign, Tasini had stopped working as an independent organizer. From 1990 to 2003 he was the head of the National Writers Union. He lives alone in a one-bedroom apartment in upper Manhattan. How he can support himself and run for national office?

TASINI: You sound like my mother asking these questions. Just kidding. Basically I'm spending what I've saved from my meager modest savings. I actually have income from a blog that I run that's separate from the economy about labor and economy so I have advertisers.

REPORTER: Tasini is not a native New Yorker nor is he Italian as people often mistake him to be. The child of Jewish immigrants, he was born in Houston. His mother's family escaped the Nazis and were in a work camp in Russia during World War II. His father fought for independence for the emerging state of Israel.

He said his parents' experiences framed his anti-war stance. He recalls a conversation with his father about the Vietnam War which the elder Tasini had opposed.

TASINI: It's not like he was a left winger or had any clear ideology he had just experienced it himself what it meant to be occupied when the British were occupying what was then Palestine.

REPORTER: Throughout his youth, he lived in various places including Los Angeles and Israel. He moved to New York in 1985. A self-described political junkie, he is a huge C-Span fan and once subscribed to Roll Call.

TASINI: On the other hand, I think I have a fuller life, too. I'm a crazy baseball fan, and love good food love to dance, love cycling...

REPORTER: With a staff of only five people, Tasini has spent countless hours circling the city and the state to introduce himself. He says he has put on weight since he's not had time to exercise regularly. He also has developed a pain in his upper right arm from shaking so many hands. He hopes it'll go away after the election - the general election that is. He then winks. For WNYC, I'm Elaine Rivera

Feeling morally, intellectually confused?
Aug 30, 2006
Aug. 30, 2006 | 8:34 p.m. ET

The man who sees absolutes, where all other men see nuances and shades of meaning, is either a prophet, or a quack.

Donald H. Rumsfeld is not a prophet.

Mr. Rumsfeld’s remarkable speech to the American Legion yesterday demands the deep analysis—and the sober contemplation—of every American.

For it did not merely serve to impugn the morality or intelligence--indeed, the loyalty--of the majority of Americans who oppose the transient occupants of the highest offices in the land. Worse, still, it credits those same transient occupants--our employees--with a total omniscience; a total omniscience which neither common sense, nor this administration’s track record at home or abroad, suggests they deserve.

Dissent and disagreement with government is the life’s blood of human freedom; and not merely because it is the first roadblock against the kind of tyranny the men Mr. Rumsfeld likes to think of as “his” troops still fight, this very evening, in Iraq.

It is also essential.  Because just every once in awhile it is right and the power to which it speaks, is wrong.

In a small irony, however, Mr. Rumsfeld’s speechwriter was adroit in invoking the memory of the appeasement of the Nazis. For in their time, there was another government faced with true peril—with a growing evil— powerful and remorseless.

That government, like Mr. Rumsfeld’s, had a monopoly on all the facts. It, too, had the “secret information.” It alone had the true picture of the threat. It too dismissed and insulted its critics in terms like Mr. Rumsfeld’s--questioning their intellect and their morality.

That government was England’s, in the 1930’s.

It knew Hitler posed no true threat to Europe, let alone England.

It knew Germany was not re-arming, in violation of all treaties and accords. 

It knew that the hard evidence it received, which contradicted its own policies, its own conclusions—its own omniscience--needed to be dismissed.

The English government of Neville Chamberlain already knew the truth.

Most relevant of all—it “knew” that its staunchest critics needed to be marginalized and isolated. In fact, it portrayed the foremost of them as a blood-thirsty war-monger who was, if not truly senile, at best morally or intellectually confused.

That critic’s name was Winston Churchill.

Sadly, we have no Winston Churchills evident among us this evening.  We have only Donald Rumsfelds, demonizing disagreement, the way Neville Chamberlain demonized Winston Churchill.

History—and 163 million pounds of Luftwaffe bombs over England—have taught us that all Mr. Chamberlain had was his certainty—and his own confusion. A confusion that suggested that the office can not only make the man, but that the office can also make the facts.

Thus, did Mr. Rumsfeld make an apt historical analogy.

Excepting the fact, that he has the battery plugged in backwards.

His government, absolute--and exclusive--in its knowledge, is not the modern version of the one which stood up to the Nazis.

It is the modern version of the government of Neville Chamberlain.

But back to today’s Omniscient ones.

That, about which Mr. Rumsfeld is confused is simply this: This is a Democracy. Still. Sometimes just barely.

And, as such, all voices count--not just his.

Had he or his president perhaps proven any of their prior claims of omniscience—about Osama Bin Laden’s plans five years ago, about Saddam Hussein’s weapons four years ago, about Hurricane Katrina’s impact one year ago—we all might be able to swallow hard, and accept their “omniscience” as a bearable, even useful recipe, of fact, plus ego.

But, to date, this government has proved little besides its own arrogance, and its own hubris.

Mr. Rumsfeld is also personally confused, morally or intellectually, about his own standing in this matter.  From Iraq to Katrina, to the entire “Fog of Fear” which continues to envelop this nation, he, Mr. Bush, Mr. Cheney, and their cronies have—inadvertently or intentionally— profited and benefited, both personally, and politically.

And yet he can stand up, in public, and question the morality and the intellect of those of us who dare ask just for the receipt for the Emporer’s New Clothes?

In what country was Mr. Rumsfeld raised? As a child, of whose heroism did he read? On what side of the battle for freedom did he dream one day to fight? With what country has he confused the United States of America?

The confusion we--as its citizens—must now address, is stark and forbidding.

But variations of it have faced our forefathers, when men like Nixon and McCarthy and Curtis LeMay have darkened our skies and obscured our flag. Note--with hope in your heart—that those earlier Americans always found their way to the light, and we can, too.

The confusion is about whether this Secretary of Defense, and this administration, are in fact now accomplishing what they claim the terrorists seek: The destruction of our freedoms, the very ones for which the same veterans Mr. Rumsfeld addressed yesterday in Salt Lake City, so valiantly fought.

And about Mr. Rumsfeld’s other main assertion, that this country faces a “new type of fascism.”

As he was correct to remind us how a government that knew everything could get everything wrong, so too was he right when he said that--though probably not in the way he thought he meant it. 

This country faces a new type of fascism-indeed.

Although I presumptuously use his sign-off each night, in feeble tribute, I have utterly no claim to the words of the exemplary journalist Edward R. Murrow.

But never in the trial of a thousand years of writing could I come close to matching how he phrased a warning to an earlier generation of us, at a time when other politicians thought they (and they alone) knew everything, and branded those who disagreed: “confused” or “immoral.”

Thus, forgive me, for reading Murrow, in full:

“We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty,” he said, in 1954. “We must remember always that accusation is not proof, and that conviction depends upon evidence and due process of law.

“We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men, not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were for the moment unpopular.”

And so good night, and good luck.

Petition from Conservationists
Jun 15, 2006
Focus: Environment
Action Request: Petition
Location: United States




Hi, all--

I ran across this while going down my groups page.  I came back here with it, and looked through topics so I wouldn't duplicate, but gave it up and decided just to go ahead and post it.  I've included a snippet of the post along with the link to the petition, because there's a good explanation there.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi there Conservationists,

hi to all 150,684 individuals, every single one of you

With such huge numbers of "like minded" individuals, my poor ole brain cannot comprehend why a petition that demands that our global leaders redirect our taxes into sustainable energy supply funding has not accumulated many thousands of signatures by now... it currently stands at 339. Nice, but nowhere near the numbers necessary for any leader to take seriously.

Vote here--Everyone welcome!
May 17, 2006
Focus: Peace
Action Request: Poll
Location: United States
I received this in an e-mail from my local Peace and Social Justice Center earlier today.  Please consider participating:

>Greetings:

Here is a chance for all of us to support a powerful public
image for peace.  We have only till May 31, so send this to
all your lists right away.

Goodyear has a new blimp - the kind that floats over sports
stadiums, etc. - and they're having a "public naming" for
it. The list of the 10 finalist names is below. There are
only two names that refer to Peace. We have concluded a
quick consensus of some local peaceniks and the outcome is
that we all should vote for The Spirit of Peace, as this
appears less conflictive than the other possible choice,
Patriot of Peace.

WE WANT TO NAME THIS BLIMP "THE SPIRIT OF PEACE" ! Think of
it: at every major Ohio sporting event, there above the
crowd is this wonderful Peace Message. The way to do it, of
course, is to send in zillions of votes for the name.

So here's what we do: first, forward this message to
everybody you know who is a peace-seeker. Then go to the
site --  http://www.nametheblimp.com/  and submit your
choice. Do it today. Voting closes May 31.<

Thanks!

Please make it a point to go to http://www.dixiechicks.com/ . When the page comes up, a new tune autoloads, with lyrics just a bit down the page so one can follow along if one likes. This one is really powerful.  It's affected me, so I want to pass this as far along as I can.
