If one Democrat votes for the New Freedom Initative, I am no longer a dem!

[Melodybe]

I am sick of Democrats voting for shit like this.

Hello THX 1138 anyone, please call your Senators Dem and Repub and tell them to vote no.

If you seator is Republican, tell them you will talk to the people at your church and tell them that they voted for this bill.

1. Why not leave now? Why should your behavior be predicated on

a single vote? Surely one assface Dem will vote for it.

5. The New freedom Initative is a bill that was passed by the republican

house not to long ago, it mandates that children attending public schools be screened for mental disabilities and prescribe anti-pyshcotic drugs to them. Who will pay for the drugs, fuck if I know but not only is it terrfying that they would even do this but it is also I nice hand out to drug companies, like the Carlyle group, Eli Lily, anyone.

Who deems if they are mentally ill? Do parents get to pick the doctors? Fuck no! It is one step to medicating anyone they deem a problem. It is very scary and Huxley would be scared shitless.

As I said THX-1138, just waiting to happen. Here is a link to the artical:

9. WTF?

I haven't been paying much attention to news lately. I pick up a few things here and there on DU but stay away from anything that sounds depressing.

Holy crap! I didn't know about this bill. I don't have any kids but do the parents have any say in whether or not anti-psychotic drugs are administered to their kids??

This country is going to hell in a handbasket.

7. There are no conservatives left, only lunatics

How could anyone in favor of individual rights and personal freedom support a program mandating the involuntary screening of children for emotional problems, and the prescribing of psychoactive medications for them?

This HAS to be publicised far and wide, especially in Freeperland and places like it. Show the assholes just what shit they are letting through.

Maybe it'll wake some of them up.

8. It sounds good though "New Freedom Initative"

I like it! Catchy title!

10. The article is kind of vague in that...

...it doesn't say whether parents would be involved in the decision to put their kids on drugs. Certainly the government doesn't expect parents to just sit back and watch as their children are medicated?

11. this is the kinda thing the dems should make an issue about

Right wingers hate any sort of government mandated controls. This is the kind of thing that will get a lot of them disallusioned with their party.

12. Will the Christian Scientists say??? Doesn't this infringe on their

religious beliefs????? Oh, that's right...this crew doesn't care about a woman's religious beliefs regarding abortion, either...

I forgot...there is only ONE religion........Bush's whatever the hell it is...

13. I just knew that something these bastards would call

the "New Freedom Initiative" would be a totalitarian's wet dream.
