Celebrate 2009, Unite for 2010.<BR><BR> by David W. Oaks, Director, MindFreedom International<BR><BR><BR>To celebrate the end of the year, here are four interesting numbers <BR>about mental health advocacy:<BR><BR>41:<BR><BR>Number of years ago that the first "psychiatric survivor" group in <BR>this era started internationally. It was in Oslo, Norway, called "We <BR>Shall Overcome." WSO is still a proud sponsor of the MindFreedom <BR>International coalition to this day!<BR><BR>40:<BR><BR>Number of years ago that the first psychiatric survivor
group started <BR>in the USA, with the provocative name "Insane Liberation Front," in <BR>Portland, Oregon. "ILF" didn't last long, but inspired others, and <BR>this was before the Internet.<BR><BR>The co-founder who named ILF was Tom Wittick, who is a proud member of <BR>MindFreedom International to this day.<BR><BR>23:<BR><BR>Number of years ago this month -- on December 22 -- that the nonprofit <BR>that became MindFreedom International began its united independent <BR>activism.<BR><BR>2010:<BR><BR>The year you and thousands of others unite with MindFreedom <BR>International toward a real revolution in mental health care!<BR><BR><BR><BR>This is an invitation to everyone for an end-of-year donation to <BR>MindFreedom International, here:<BR><BR> <A href="http://www.mindfreedom.org/join-donate" target="_blank">http://www.mindfree<wbr>dom.org/join-<wbr>donate</A><BR><BR><BR>A few
reasons:<BR><BR>Because in 2009 MindFreedom International.<wbr>..<BR><BR>** stopped some forced electroshocks.<wbr>.. but forced electroshock <BR>continues in the USA and internationally.<BR><BR>** protested directly in front of the psychiatric drug industry... but <BR>their deadly corruption continues.<BR><BR>** promoted humane mental health alternatives.<wbr>.. but there are still <BR>far too few available.<BR><BR>** celebrated Mad Pride events internationally.<wbr>.. but too many have <BR>never heard of this amazing social change movement.<BR><BR>** united thousands of people to take action, but hundreds of <BR>thousands -- millions -- are needed.<BR><BR><BR>UNITE FOR A REVOLUTION IN MENTAL HEALTH!<BR><BR>Please give your end-year-donation securely, here and now:<BR><BR><A href="http://www.mindfreedom.org/join-donate" target="_blank">http://www.mindfree<wbr>dom.org/join-<wbr>donate</A><BR><BR>Or go to the MindFreedom home page at <A href="http://www.mindfreedom.org/" target="_blank">http://www.mindfree<wbr>dom.org</A>, and <BR>CLICK ON THE BIG RED BUTTON in the upper right.<BR><BR><BR>YOU BENEFIT BY DONATING TO MFI, TODAY, TOO:<BR><BR>** MFI is a nonprofit under IRS 501(c)(3) so your donation is tax- <BR>deductible.<BR><BR>** Your MFI membership during this end-of-year support drive will <BR>include all of 2010.<BR><BR>** The brand-new MindFreedom Journal #50 is immediately postal mailed <BR>First Class to new and renewing members (with an excellent new "Truth <BR>Brochure"!).<BR><BR>** MFI Members qualify for discounts on books and CD's at <A href="http://www.madmarket.org/" target="_blank">http://www.madmarke<wbr>t.org</A><BR><BR>** MFI supports each member's activism "in a spirit of mutual <BR>cooperation.<wbr>"<BR><BR>** MFI Members can register for free with the MindFreedom Shield to <BR>defend your rights.<BR><BR>** MFI Members may network via member-only web
