I just realized that I digressed in a ‘thread’ meant for Ray.

I’m sorry for that.

Please email me (so as to not further do that) where on your blog I can/should share things like my last post…and more personal posts as well?

unfortunately they are routinely ignored in many cases…

though if someone has someone close to them to back it up it’s more likely to be respected.

I need help circulating this information around if you find it promising.

I am very new to ‘mental health concerns via the internet’ (where everyone hangs out that discusses these issues).

My husband-in-spirit was the one who brought Ray’s situation to my attention or I wouldn’t have known, ever, maybe.

I haven’t finished reading the whole thing yet but came right here after reading:

>>I propose a new legal safeguard: the psychiatric protection order. Such an order, similar to the protection order used in domestic conflicts, would make it a criminal offence to impose involuntary psychiatric interventions on people protected by the order.>>

It’s so easy to look the other way, to not put in the time and effort to help someone in need. They think/hope that someone else is doing…something. ‘Aww, someone will help him, I’m sure.’ Are you sure? Even if someone else is doing something to help….

One person can make a difference, of course, but…many people can expedite the change. Considering what’s going on with Ray, expedition is needed.

No need for thanks but warmly accepted and given right back to you…thank you. We’re all in this together…in sooo many ways.

Namaste

Mr. Pawlenty, Please…‏

If it can happen to one of us, it can happen to any of us. I know you must understand this to be true when it comes to the infringement of our civil and human rights.

Sir, if this, what I wish to share with you below, happened to one of your family members or friends, I’m sure the outrage would be ever-present. Can you not put yourself in Ray’s shoes and imagine his utter helplessness?

Permanent damage is taking place. Christmas Eve, while most laughed and celebrated with loved ones, Ray was having his brain shocked free of precious and irreplaceable memories and cognitive skills.

Please take the time to review this site http://www.mindfreedom.org/shield/ray/alert-9-sandford

They come to his HOME, My. Pawlenty, and take him to involuntary shock therapy. How can this be happening in this country, in the 21st century??

The word is getting out, and how. Because you’re the Governor, many are looking to you to defend one of your constituents against a human rights violation.

Please, please, please don’t do nothing. Do something. Anything. Voters are watching and we are so incredibly fed up with this kind of blatant abuse and violation. Many truly feel that if you aren’t a part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.

Be Ray’s hero and the state and the world (this is international now) will remember you.

Be the change you wish to see in the world, Sir.

Regards,
Aes Sedai
