Ray Sandford is not a criminal. And he's not violent. But even if someone were a violent criminal, it would not justify torture under humanitarian and American core values and principles.

But Ray Sandford is getting ongoing forced electroshocks over his clear, repeated, passionate, reasonable objections.

MindFreedom is now compiling a list of the dozens of agencies and individuals who receive some type of taxpayer funding who are supposed to help and protect Ray. A few are standing up for him, but most are remaining silent or actively engaging in supporting his ongoing forced electroshock.

After the Wednesday, 25 March 2009 forced electroshock, his next forced shock would be on, ironically, on tax day -- 15 April 2009.

For a mental health system claiming it lacks funding, somehow the system has found thousands upon thousands of dollars to surround Ray with guardians, social workers, escorts, psychiatrists, judges... maintaining his ongoing forced electroshock, all funded by the taxpayer.

Lynne Salvi, psychiatric survivor

Lynne M. Salvi [1963 - 2011] was an activist with MindFreedom Lane County. She experienced 24 years of human rights violations in the mental health system. Lynne said, "Since finding MindFreedom and becoming a member, my life changed dramatically. I found many people who understand through experience without words. MindFreedom feels like a reunion of family I never knew before. This connection and encouragement give me the courage to speak out. I am grateful to find myself using those painful experiences to help others. Today I am medication-free and psychiatrist-free for the first time." See "Related Content" below for writing by Lynne.
