This is very important! The feds want to drug and dumb down our kids and are actively trying to do it using such things as "teenscreen". I have told my kids that they are NOT to complete any type of survey at school without my permission. Everyone needs to contact their school administrators about this! PLEASE sign the petition! We have to stop this!

Whereas children as young as 9, who previously had not thought of the concept of suicide, are being asked invasive and leading questions by TeenScreen such as: Have you tried to kill yourself in the last year? Are you still thinking of killing yourself? Have you thought seriously about killing yourself? Have you often thought about killing yourself? Have you ever tried to kill yourself?" and kids are being lured into doing the suicide survey by TeenScreen's offers of free movie passes, food coupons, pizza parties and $50 mall gift certificates …

Whereas Ned Calonge, the chairman of the United States Preventive Services Task Force, who is also the chief medical officer for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, was quoted in the June 16, 2006 Washington Post: "the panel would reach the same conclusion today... Whether or not we like to admit it, there are no interventions that have no harms... There is weak evidence that screening can distinguish people who will commit suicide from those who will not... And screening inevitably leads to treating some people who do not need it. Such interventions have consequences beyond side effects from drugs or other treatments... Unnecessary care drives up the cost of insurance, causing some people to lose coverage altogether” http://www.petitiononline.com/TScreen/petition.html



My child was screened for "mental health" with TeenScreen without my permission and diagnosed with two "disorders" at her high school. The Rutherford Institute is suing on our behalf in federal court and there has been a lot of press on this.



I now have a petition against TeenScreen here: http://www.petitiononline.com/TScreen/petition.html



Can you please sign the petition and then send an alert out to all of your contacts?



I would appreciate it very much. Already the petition has made people aware that did not know it was going on, so I think it can make a difference if enough parents read it.
