The following on DR. LAURA's site:
Dr. Laura wants you to contact Congress and tell them "NO money for mental health screening of kids!" We have to stop this before it’s too late.
Support from four key Senators is needed:
Sen. Spector (R-PA) 202-224-4254
Sen. Stevens (R-AK) 202-224-3004
Sen. Harkin (D-IA) 202 224-3254
Sen. Frist (R-TN) 202-224-3344
Please call their offices and ask them to make sure the omnibus spending bill or final committee report on Labor/HHS appropriations includes the following language:
“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.”
Also the Liberty Committee headed by U.S. Congressman Ron Paul of Texas with 22 other U.S. Representatives is spearheading action to stop this spending proposal. They need you to contact House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and tell him "NO money for mental health screening of kids!"
Ooooooopppps, there more.
Mr. DeLay's office telephone number is 202-225-4000. His fax number is 202-225-5117. An E-mail form is at www.majorityleader.gov/CONTACT.ASP?a=form
