PROGRESS ON TIMOTHY'S LAW - PHONE CALLS NEEDED:  With just 5 more days of
the 2006 Legislative Session left, developments in the pursuit of Timothy's
Law appear to be taking place.  People demonstrating support for Timothy's
Law in the halls of the Capitol are hearing positive feedback from Senators
as they pass by about "getting something done this year."

Therefore, we are cautiously optimistic about the propects for Timothy's Law
this year and ask everyone to contact their Senator to urge passage of
Timothy's Law before session ends next week and they return home.  

Please call your Senator to urge them to "Pass Timothy's Law This Year."
Senators can be contacted by calling the NYS Senate switchboard in Albany at
518-455-2800 and asking to be connected with your Senator's office.  
Or, you can also contact your Senator's district office - a list of each
Senator and their district office phone numbers follows below.

June 14, 2006 - The crusade for equality in mental health benefits gained
unprecedented momentum yesterday as both the Rensselaer and Suffolk County
Legislatures formally called on the New York State Senate to pass Timothy's
Law this year.

Resolutions before both the County Legislatures passed unanimously with
bi-partisan support.  Tom O'Clair, Timothy's father, was present as the
Rensselaer County Legislature lent its support to the initiative.  O'Clair
commented later that "I'm thrilled to have the support of the Rensselaer
County Legislature in our campaign for Timothy's Law.  It's been a long hard
battle and I only hope that the overwhelming bi-partisan support I witnessed
tonight is a preview of what's to come from the State Legislature over the
next several days."

Concurrently, Kim Spicciate, a member of the Timothy's Law Campaign on Long
Island, watched as the Suffolk County Legislature acted in concert with
Rensselaer legislators.  "Not only did the measure pass unanimously, but
legislators were actually requesting that their names be listed as
co-sponsors of the initiative!" said Spicciate.

Bolstered by the expression of support at the local levels, Timothy's Law
supporters will continue their efforts to enact parity legislation in memory
of Timothy O'Clair.
