Hi Everyone,
You are receiving this because I think you are interested in PsychRights' mission of fighting forced psychiatric drugging and electroshock in the United States. If, however, you want to be removed from this list, just let me know. We only send out a few a year.
This is a special one, though, because Allen Jones, the courageous (former) investigator for the Pennsylvania Office of Inspector General who was fired for refusing to back off on investigating corruption around the promotion of the "atypical" neuroleptics for use by state agencies has written trying to identify some people who might be able to help a reporter on a story. Allen's whistleblower report is available at http://psychrights.org/Drugs/AllenJonesTMAPJanuary20.pdf and I think it must be approaching having been downloaded 100,000 times.
Before I get to Allen's information, though, I have been wanting to let you all know about a fabulous book I read over the holidays, 5150: One Who Flew Into the Cuckoo's Nest, by Kathi Stringer. Hopefully, the link will work to take you to where you can purchase the book from Amazon.Com and I have written a short review.
Okay, now for the note from Allen:

Subject: Reporter needs a hand
To: jim.gottstein@psychrights.org,
Deb Erdley, a reporter with the Pittsburgh Times Tribune is working on a story regarding atypical antipsychotic use in Pennsylvania. She is an intelligent journalist with an excellent grasp of the issues. She is intrigued by the fact that PA fired two Whistleblowers (Dr. K and myself) for trying to raise an alarm in 2004 - only to see antipsychotic use increase to budget-strangling proportion - particularly among young people.
Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell (the man who fired me) has filed a lawsuit on behalf of the state against makers of 3 atypical antipsychotics. The suit alleges essentially what Stefan and I were fired for trying to expose. All the while, PA continues to embrace the programs and drugs we have all worked to expose. The irony is not lost on Deb. Her insight and slant on the story represents the best chance I have seen in 5 1/2 years to expose the political/pharma circle-jerk which led to the situation in PA and your states as well.
Deb would like to find victims of antipsychotic drugging in Pennsylvania to showcase in her story. Anything any of you could do individually or through your networks to locate such folks would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to share this request with people who you believe could help.
Thanks to all.
Allen
