Guest guest Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Dear California Citizens, Your letters, faxes, and phone calls are needed NOW to the Assembly Health Committee in opposition to AB 599 by Assembly Member Mike Gordon. This bill would prioritize mental health treatment to California veterans who are not eligible for care from the Veterans Administration (VA) or who are not getting adequate mental health care from the VA. Letters must arrive in Sacramento by Tuesday, May 2. Phone calls and faxes must be done during business hours Friday, Monday or Tuesday, as the hearing is on Wednesday. Please write a brief letter in your own words. Address your letter " Dear Assembly Member " or " Dear Assembly Health Committee Member. " Please send a sample copy of your letter to me at cassandra2 or fax a copy to 323-667-0115. Pick ONE of the topics below: 1) Our valued veterans need good physical care, not bogus labeling and drugging by the psychiatric industry. 2) Not ANOTHER tax-dollar give-away to the psychiatric industry! 3) Psychiatric drugs cause serious physical problems. This is not a good trade-off for suppressing the symptoms psychiatrists label " mental illness. " 4) There is no " illness " in " mental illness. " There is not a single physiological test for any of the " disorders " that psychiatrists bill us to treat. Quit funding this fraud! Best, Cassandra Auerbach Address for letters: Assembly Member ____________. P. O.
