<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=484132914-13112003>It has been another
big week for Timothy's Law. Last Wednesday, NYC Councilman David Weprin
introduced a resolution in front of the NYC Council calling on the NYS Senate to
pass Timothy's Law. That was followed this Tuesday by an enormously
successful event in Buffalo, which attracted about 300 people.
</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=484132914-13112003>This
growing tide of support is proof that the longer the Senate drags the fight for
Timothy's Law out, the stronger we become.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=484132914-13112003>Unfortunately,
weather was not so kind to those who worked so hard to organize the mental
health awareness meeting in Phoenix on Thursday. Snow, high winds and
power outages forced the cancellation of that event<FONT color=#ff0000
size=4><FONT color=#000000 size=2>. I doubt that ever is an issue in the
other Phoenix. When we know more about its rescheduled date, we will
alert you.</FONT></FONT></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=484132914-13112003>Supporters of
Timothy's Law are making an unprecedented effort to pass this legislation.
Never before have we seen such tireless advocacy on the part of so many.
In June, when the Senate recessed for the year, they expected this issue to go
away until January, when they reconvened. What they did not expect was
that you would not let it go away. They certainly did not expect that by
going back to their district without passing this vital legislation you would be
energized that much more. But you have proven them wrong. You
have created a strong presence in Senate districts through the state.
Senators from Long Island to Buffalo, and all points in between, have heard from
their constituents about the need for Timothy's Law. They have had to
dodge questions time and again about why Timothy's Law has not been
passed. They are feeling the pressure, and they want it to
stop.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=484132914-13112003>Which means just one
thing. Our actions have been working. Thanks to your efforts
throughout the state, Senators are listening. Now, as we enter winter
and brace for the coming cold, we need to ensure that the Senators continue to
feel the heat. We will continue to fight, and if need be, we will hold
them accountable next year at the polls. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=484132914-13112003>The Timothy's Law
Campaign is currently collecting petitions for Timothy's Law. A copy of
the petition is attached. We are hoping to deliver the petitions to
Senator Bruno the next time that the Senate is in Session, which remains in
limbo at this point. Please take two minutes to fill out the petition and
send it on to friends, coworkers and family. The more we are able to
gather, the greater the effect will be when they are received by the
Senate. These petitions should also be available on the Timothy's Law
website soon. You may find them there by visiting the site at <A
href="http://www.timothyslaw.org">www.timothyslaw.org</A>. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=484132914-13112003>Meanwhile, please
review the attached resolution. Contact your County Legislator or Town
Councilman and ask them to introduce and pass a similar measure in your
town. If they agree, let us know, and we can help you publicize it.
We will also keep track of all the resolutions so that we can bring them to the
Senate to show them the broad statewide support in a different
manner.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

grow the movement to end discrimination against individuals living with
mental illness.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
