California has 1.2 million mentally ill residents

California has 1.2 million mentally ill residents and a quarter of its prison inmates suffer from mental illness, the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) says in a new nationwide survey.

Overall, NAMI gives California a "C" grade on how it deals with mental illness, just above the national "D." No state earned an "A" and just seven a "B" in the NAMI survey.

California has by far the largest number of mentally ill residents of any state and, with 12 percent of the nation's population, about 11 percent of its mentally ill. California's estimated 41,400 mentally ill state prison inmates, roughly 25 percent of the prison population, mirrors the national percentage, NAMI found.

The full NAMI report is available here.

Whitman lost some of the republican votes because she supports amnesty, many people don't like her trying to buy the office with her $150 MILLION donation to her own campaign and most of her ads are very negative.

I don't like her either, but from what I know of moonbeam - the pandering to IA's will be even more out of control with him in control. I have a sense that Whitman just might listen if we scream loud enough...I've been wrong before tho...
