We need your help!
 
Florida is already 50th in mental health funding in the country, and the Florida Senate is discussing cutting $50 million from that funding for the upcoming year.
 
Help us let our legislators know that mental health funding is important in Florida- click this link to send an email to all of our state legislators, it only takes a moment of your time to help make a positive change for all of Florida.  
 
 
Thanks for your help in this important campaign.

Florida's Snake Pits
 
 
 The following link is to the Tampa Bay Times investigations into the snake pits we call our state hospitals. They uncovered shocking abuse, beatings, burning, even murder.
This is what happened to our most severely ill citizens after the State of Florida cut 100 million dollars from psychiatric treatment services.
One of the most rattling facts in this investigation is that without health care coverage I would have lost my own life in these snake pits.
 
Warning: The stories, documents and surveillance videos are difficult to witness.
Please contact your Florida State Legislatures and Governor Rick Scott at Myflorida.com
Thank you, Peggy
