This is in response to both David Miller and Sahara Jane Rotherfluch.  Considering that there are several consumer mental illness advocacy groups in Oregon I do not know why NAMI was the only one represented on you recent show. I do not know much about NAMI other than most of their funding is from companies invested in maintaining the pathological apprroach to mental health.  I do know that Mind Freedom was THE watch dog group that first brought to light the tragic death of the State Hopsital patient that seemed to be the genesis to your story.  Why leave Mind Freedom out?  I do think that you were lacking in due dilegence.  I am considering making a complaint with OPB.  This is most unfortuate because I am a long time supporter of OPB, including financial support.
