What is Pawlenty's Position on Involuntary Outpatient Electroshock (IOE)?
http://www.mindfreedom.org/shield/ray

SOLVE A MYSTERY!

Despite all this public interest the question remains, "What is
Governor Pawlenty's position on Minnesota laws allowing involuntary
outpatient electroshock?"

Is this Governor, who campaigns for "limited government," for such
laws or against them?

Unfortunately, the Governor's office has not responded to any of the
many e-mails or phone calls requesting his policy position. The
Governor's office is immediately forwarding citizen inquiries to a
voice mail, and then not replying to the voice mail.

We need media to ask the Governor for us. Please forward this alert
to all media, small and large, from newspapers to bloggers.

Media can direct questions to:

Brian McClung
Director of Communications for Minnesota's Governor
phone: (651) 296-0001.

Media ought to ask, "What is Governor Pawlenty's position on
Minnesota laws allowing involuntary outpatient electroshock?"

1. I don't know about Pawlenty's position, but
back in the 1970s, when my mother was a ward clerk on the Adolescent Psych unit at a Minneapolis hospital, there was a case where a patient was allowed to refuse electroshock because she had just turned 18.
