Mandatory mental-health screening of children
November 17, 2004
Your efforts are paying off! After over 7,600 messages from us(!), the House leadership supports the Paul language prohibiting the funding of mandatory mental-health screening. In fact, key members of the House leadership attempted to add Dr. Paul's language to the omnibus spending bill, but some members of the Senate objected.
So now the question of whether your kids can be subjected to forced psychological testing --- and perhaps even forced drugging -- rests in the hands of the U.S. Senate.
We have little time left. The final version of the omnibus spending bill will likely be agreed upon this Friday morning. Between now and then, we must convince senators to add Congressman Paul's language to it.
Just as we convinced the House leadership to support the Paul language, we must now go to work to convince the Senate.
Urge your two U.S. senators to support the Paul language to the omnibus spending bill. The language is as follows: "None of the funds made available for State incentive grants for transformation should be used for any programs of mandatory or universal mental-health screening that performs mental-health screening on anyone under 18 years of age without the express, written permission of the parents or legal guardians of each individual involved."
Here’s the checklist:
1. Call your two U.S. senators. The main Capitol switchboard number is 202-224-3121.
2. Send a message to your senators. Go to the Take Action Now box above.
3. Spread the word.
Your efforts paid off in the U.S. House. We must take the next step and convince the U.S. Senate.
"No Child Left Behind" must not become "No Child Left Undrugged."
"Critics of the plan say it is a thinly veiled attempt by drug companies to provide a wider market for high-priced antidepressants and antipsychotic medication, and puts government in areas of Americans' lives where it does not belong."
Critics??? How about Truthsayers!!!
Of course, given how crazy Democrats have gotten of late, good mental health screening might consist of "Are your parents Democrats?" and putting the kid in therapy if he answers yes... (c8
I love Ron Paul.
Leave the kids alone. The entire Congress should be screened for mental health instead.
