RE; ACTION SUPPORT NEEDED

It is my hopes that you find the work I am involved with of
interest
and assist in any manner you can to bring about these much
needed
changes, and assist in getting the word out.

We have to keep pushing the Assembly to take action!


Call Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver
at 518-455-3791 and leave the following message:


"I'm a registered voter from (your locality) calling
to urge Speaker Silver to assure Assembly passage of A.9342
before
year's end
to improve prison mental health care and safety conditions
in New
York!"


Help end the suffering of people in prison with psychiatric
disabilities!


Please email Speaker Silver the attached message. His email
address
is spea...assembly.state.ny.us. I don 't know whether his
office
will open attachments, so make sure that your email includes
the
message.
