Ok sure let me help but you cannot bite my head off just because I am not 'throwin' myself in the middle of things.
Give me something concrete to do

The other thing to think about is this;
If you only get each person riled up and nobody is organzied how can you accomplish anything?
Power comes in numbers because it is easy to shut down 25 angry people seperately than it is to shut them down as a group.
Have you done anything to plan, organize, and take group action?
Im not being a bitch I am just saying the way that you are trying to get things done can be done better.
The reason I wont call CPS is because I am sure you have already done it already, I dont want to be just another person that ties up their line. Its easy to fuck yourself in a situation like that if you make them mad

Hey Sarah,
I recommend that you contact your Rep. in support of EICA. If you want to help out beyond that we have several areas of focus.
Due to the time constraints of our core CAFETY group, which has only been recently formed, we?re still working on some developmental stuff. We have a psychiatrist on our advisory board and are working on expansion of this group.
I also recommend you e-mail your story to Dr. Allison Pinto of USF who will be submitting them to Congress. Just see the ?take action? section on CAFETY, her contact info is there. There are also other Congressman who may be helpful to contact- thought most only involve themselves in issue involving their constituents., but I think every little bit helps. There's also an A START sign on letter and a petition I began, I would sign both. If you want to do anything more, I say reach out to others in forums, organizations concerned with the issue, people in your community, print out some CAFTEY flyer and hand them out... Public awareness is critical.
I?ve also been working on a survey for alumni that will soon be coming out with Dr. Pinto, that will also be something you can do.
I don?t think you?re being a b?ch, there is considerable trepidation in your words, so much so that I just don?t understand what you?re driving at as it seems a bit presumptious- you have made an assessment of a situation without knowing anything about what anyone has done, is doing, or researching this issue in any comprehensive way. It?s difficult to do alone, of course, I wouldn?t know half of what I know if I didn?t work closely with Mental Health Professional/policy experts as part of A START. That said, it comes across as just? oh, I don?t know, sabotage of sorts, I guess you could say.
I'm not going to bite your head off one way or the other, whether or not you do anything is none of my business- it doesn't make much of a difference to me to be quite honest, it's all about your moral positioning far as I can tell. Man power is great, but you can't really be an asset without some effort which takes dedication and committment, even if fleeting.
yes, I've spoken to CPS, this was long ago. I was in a bad place, didn't follow up- but got my info on the their policy from a researcher studying the issue. I wouldn't worry about calling them though, I never got the impression they were busy. In fact, they're quite friendly and helpful! It strikes me as odd that you would not want to suspend disbelief for a moment and find out for yourself, but to each his own I guess.
Best- kat

.. and where are you going to send this survey? What purpose does it have? Is it for research?
I e mailed you. Other than that this doesnt look very planned out as far as making new laws. First you have to get public officials on board, that means sitting down with someone that makes a difference in MONTANA, not tampa and not NY. Sure it helps to have names on board with you but you have to start in Montana.
I would suggest taking Judicial Process
