Hey y'all
The day program I go to (and this one is not bad at all suprise,suprise) Has asked me if I wanted to do an interveiw with a a reporter in a local paper concerning this horrible cut in funding to mental health in Maryland.I agreed because I have done advocacy and stuff and I can be articulate and direct.I have done fine in the past with this sort of thing.

But this is the first time the Aegis is interveiwing me.
So I am a bit nervous. Gathering up my data statistics and all.

My request is anyone here or in Maryland who can give me a more accurate lowdown on the agenda of this session in Annapolis going on about taxes and funding O'Malley is doing I need it.Especially the reasons or excuses behind the cuts in mental health services .Please send it to me. I am putting this request in the Maryland Forum and General discuss too. Thanks y'all.

i would think that they are coming to you for a "worm's eye view" of this shit, how it is when it hits the ground. numbers are easy to find. you need to give them the cat's eye view. be you. they can look the numbers up in a lot of places, but there is only one underground panther.
