Atty Jim Gottstein is trying to help us by protectiing us from the total moral breakdown of our society, namely through the misuse of psychiatric prescriptions and the illegal drugging of our children. Please read about this cause and consider a donation, if you can.... We need more watch dogs like Jim, using the law to fight for what is right and good, and hopefully being able to prevent future deaths of our children, like rebecca riley here in massachusetts, whom our govt is so far getting away with blaming only the parents for (the least educated and most vulnerable of the bunch besides their deceased child of four) , the drug companies and the diagnosing and prescribing doctors have gotten off scott-free, this is immoral and wrong. this matter needs attention, and here is a person fighting hard to give it some, see what you can do to help and pass it on.... Thank you!!!

PRESS RELEASE

ELI LILLY STOP BULLYING US!
WE THE PEOPLE hold Support Rally for Jim Gottstein as Oral Arguments are made in his defense at the United States Court, Second Circuit.

NEW YORK CITY

CONTACT: Lauren Tenney (516) 319-4295 LaurenTenney@aol.com www.TheOpalProject.org/SupportJimG.html

DATE: February 2, 2010

TIME: 1:30 PM Press Conference and Rally 1PM until Mr. Gottstein exits the courthouse.

Location: United States Court House for the Second Circuit

ADDRESS: In front of 500 Pearl Street, NY, NY

WHY: WE THE PEOPLE, In remembrance of Esmin Green, who was murdered-by-neglect at Kings County Hospital Center Psychiatric Emergency Room, June 19, 2008 SUPPORT Jim Gottstein and believe that the multi- billion dollar bully, Eli Lilly is wrong.

In mid-December 2006, Jim Gottstein of the public interest law firm Law Project for Psychiatric Rights (PsychRights) subpoenaed documents from an expert in the Zyprexa products liability litigation that were being kept secret by the court showing Eli Lilly had hid life threatening effects of Zyprexa from doctors and illegally promoted its use among the elderly and children (the Zyprexa Papers). The expert produced the documents to Mr. Gottstein after determining Lilly's had been given a reasonable opportunity to object as provided in the court's secrecy order, and Mr. Gottstein released the documents to various parties, including the New York Times, which ran a series of front page articles on Lilly's outrageous and illegal conduct.

Backed by Lilly's billion dollar bullying power, Lilly's Lawyers went into court and got it to rule Mr. Gottstein had conspired to steal the documents and issue an injunction against the further dissemination of the the Zyprexa Papers. Ever since since then Lilly has threatened Mr. Gottstein with civil and criminal contempt sanctions and going after his license to practice law.

On February 2nd, the Second Circuit will hear Mr. Gottstein's appeal of this ruling. "I believe I did nothing wrong," said Mr. Gottstein, "that when Lilly failed to object after being given a reasonable opportunity to do so and then Dr. Egilman sent the Zyprexa Papers to me, they had lost their secrecy protection. I hope the Second Circuit will agree."

MEDIA ADVISORY
JIM GOTTSTEIN PRESENTS PSYCHRIGHTS' MEDICAID FRAUD INITIATIVE AGAINST PSYCHIATRIC DRUGGING OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH
Anyone with knowledge of specific offending prescriptions can sue on behalf of the government to recover for such Medicaid Fraud, and receive a percentage of the recovery, if any.

NEW YORK CITY

CONTACT: Lauren Tenney (516) 319-4295 www.TheOpalProject.org/SupportJimG.html

DATE: February 2, 2010

TIME: 6 PM PRESS CONFERENCE (Presentations 5-8PM)

Location: Community Access,

ADDRESS: 2 Washington Street, 9th Floor, 10004

For Presentation Materials: http://psychrights.org/index.htm

***For a PRESS PASS TO 4-8 PM Presentation of PsychRights Medicaid Fraud Initiative Against the Psychiatric Drugging of Children and Youth at 2 Washington Street, 9th floor, please contact Lauren Tenney (516) 319-4295.*****

WHY: The massive psychiatric drugging of America's children, particularly poor, disadvantaged children & youth through Medicaid and in foster care is an unfolding public health catastrophe of massive proportions. This catastrophe is being caused by the fraudulent promotion of these harmful practices by pharmaceutical companies sacrificing children and youth's health, futures and lives on the altar of corporate profits. In 2009, Eli Lilly agreed to pay $1.4 Billion in criminal and civil penalties for such off-label promotion of Zyprexa and Pfizer agreed to pay $2.3 Billion for the illegal off-label promotion of Geodon and other drugs, yet the practice has not stopped. It is merely a cost of doing business to these pharmaceutical Goliaths and, in fact, caps their liability for these crimes. Most importantly, these settlements have not stopped the practice of child psychiatrists and other prescribers giving these drugs to children and youth and Medicaid continuing to pay for these fraudulent claims.
PsychRights' Medicaid Fraud Initiative Against Psychiatric Drugging of Children & Youth is designed to address this problem by bringing lawsuits brought against the doctors prescribing these harmful, ineffective drugs, their employers, and the pharmacies filling these prescriptions and submitting them to Medicaid for reimbursement. Each offending prescription carries a penalty of between $5,500 and $11,000. This is why it is expected that once their financial exposure becomes known to them, prescribers and pharmacies will curtail the practice. Anyone with knowledge of specific offending prescriptions can sue on behalf of the government to recover for such Medicaid Fraud, and receive a percentage of the recovery, if any.

Mr. Gottstein's presentation will walk through the requirements of the Federal False Claims Act as it pertains to this type of Medicaid Fraud. People and lawyers who may be interested in bringing such suits should come to this presentation.

Proposal Outline
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
http://www.epa.gov/lawsregs/brochure/...


INTRODUCTION

Congress has also authorized EPA and other government agencies to create and enforce regulations in order to put those laws into effect. EPA regulations cover a range of environmental and public health protection issues.
EPA's senior management provides guidance on the Analytic Blueprint early in the process at a meeting called Early Guidance. After the Early Guidance meeting, the workgroup uses its Analytic Blueprint to begin studying the problem. We may draw information from EPA's research, scientific literature, other government agencies, or other researchers in the United States and abroad.

ISSUE

HHS information quality policies and procedures are issued in the form of guidelines and need to become regulated by law.
HHS, PHARMACIA CORP. GLOBAL, AND CHEHSIR is not required by law to reveal to the public of Pharmacia fraud practices and fraudulent data concerning mental health issues resulting in several dangerous prescriptions of psycho-tropic medication which is being forced to children , and adults of all ages. Implemented by a physician or other medical practitioner that governs the health and human services health-care programs and services for an individual health-care to the public of United States. Resulting in death, injury, retardation, which is not limited to long lasting health conditions which are federally funded by the United State of America.
Failure to protect public health, and conspired to fraud federal funding is a federal crime and should be treated as federal crime the clever use of loops holes in the system should not provided immunity for the agencies and individuals, who are paid to ensure safety.

EMERGENCIES
In emergency situations or when an agency is obligated by law to act more quickly than normal review procedures allow, the agency shall notify OIRA as soon as possible and, to the extent practicable, comply with this Bulletin. For those significant guidance documents that are governed by a statutory or court-imposed deadlines, the agency shall, to the extent practicable, schedule its proceedings so as to permit sufficient time to comply with this Bulletin
http://www.epa.gov/ebtpages/humanheal...
FACT
The Rapport global sur Pharmacia Corp.. Global social, financial, and environmental data works the advertising and influence; whom are responsible for not releasing or making the public aware that most medications which are given to patients cause us to have other medical problems. The Pharmacia continues to profit, without curing the problem. Masking and curing is two different things. It all about keeping the patient with non-life threatening medical conditions who requires another masking pharmaceutical and biotechnological medication.

PROCEDURE

1.Commence Activity. EPA typically operates under statutory authority (Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, etc.) to create regulations. Additionally, we adhere to the Principles of Regulation described in Executive Order (E.O.) 12866. When we have determined that an issue exists that cannot be addressed in the absence of regulatory activity, we commence a new regulatory action.

Telephone: (202) 395-3122.
2. Analyze the Problem.
HHS information quality policies and procedures are issued in the form of guidelines and not a regulation
First, the HHS guidelines apply to a wide range of government information dissemination activities across HHS and are generic enough to fit all types of media, including print, electronic, and other forms within HHS. Second, the HHS guidelines are intended to assure that all the information that is disseminated meets a basic level of quality and that more important information meets a more rigorous quality standard. Third, the HHS guidelines explicitly recognize the very different types of information that various HHS agencies disseminate depending on their missions, including the need for flexibility in implementation and avoidance of a "one size fits all" approach. Fourth, the statement of HHS information quality policies and procedures are issued in the form of guidelines and not a regulation

Executive Order 13422,
Nothing in this Bulletin is intended to indicate that a guidance document can impose a legally binding requirement which recently amended Executive Order 12866 to clarify OMB’s role in overseeing and coordinating significant guidance documents. This definition, in turn, closely tracks the general definition of “significant regulatory action” in E.O. 12866, as further amended. One advantage of this definition is that agencies have years of experience in the regulatory context applying the parallel definition of “significant regulatory action” under E.O. 12866, as further amended. However, a few important changes were made to the definition used in E.O. 12866, as further amended, to make it better suited for guidance. Section I(3) defines the term "guidance document" as an agency statement of general applicability and future effect, other than a regulatory action (as defined in Executive Order 12866, as further amended), that sets forth a policy on a statutory, regulatory, or technical issue or an interpretation of a statutory or regulatory issue. This definition is used to comport with definitions used in Executive Order 12866, as further amended.
3. Identify Options.
Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Riskshttp://yosemite.epa.gov/ochp/ochpweb.nsf/content/whatwe_executiv.htm
203. "Environmental health risks and safety risks" mean risks to health or to safety that are attributable to products or substances that the child is likely to come in contact with or ingest (such the air we breath, the food we eat, the water we drink or use for recreation, the soil we live on, and the products we use or are exposed to).
FDA, “Administrative Practices and Procedures; Good Guidance Practices,” 65 FR 7321, 7322-23 (proposed Feb. 14, 2000).

4. Publish a Proposal & Request Public Comments.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/memoran...
Sec. 3. Task Force on Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks to Children. 3-301. There is hereby established the Task Force on Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks to Children ("Task Force"). 3-302. The Task Force will report to the President in consultation with the Domestic Policy Council, the National Science and Technology Council, the Council on Environmental Quality, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). 3-303. Membership. The Task Force shall be composed of the: (a) Secretary of Health and Human Services, who shall serve as a Co-Chair of the Council; (b) Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, who shall serve as a Co-Chair of the Council; (c) Secretary of Education; (d) Secretary of Labor; (e) Attorney General;
Before an agency adopts a nonlegislative rule that is likely to have a significant impact on the public. The agency provide an opportunity for members of the public to comment on the proposed rule and to recommend alternative policies or interpretations, provided that it is practical to do so; when nonlegislative rules are adopted without prior public participation immediately following adoption, the agency afford the public an opportunity for post-adoption comment and give notice of this opportunity.”).
American Bar Association, “Recommendation on Federal Agency Web Pages” (August 2001) (agencies should maximize the availability and searchability of existing law and policy on their websites and include their governing statutes, rules and regulations, and all important policies, interpretations, and other like matters on which members of the public are likely to request


EPA , HHS and the Pharmacia Corp together

History
The President's Task Force on Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks to Children was established in April 1997 by Executive Order 13045, was co-chaired by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, and included sixteen departments and White House offices. The Task Force was charged with recommending strategies for protecting children's environmental health and safety. Former President Bush signed Executive Order 13229 (PDF) (1 pg, 18K) in October 2001, extending the work of the Task Force for an additional eighteen months beyond the original charter. On April 18, 2003, former President Bush further amended the Executive Order to extend the Task Force an additional two years.The Task Force initially identified four priority areas for immediate attention: asthma, unintentional injuries, developmental disorders (including lead poisoning), and cancer. Since then, the Task Force added environmental health in schools, the National Children's Study, and Children's Health Month to its interagency activities. View Task Force activities and accomplishments.

FACT

Children's Environmental Health and Safety Inventory of Research (CHEHSIR) The Children's Environmental Health and Safety Inventory of Research (CHEHSIR) was created in response to the Executive Order and was one of the first activities undertaken by the Task Force. CHEHSIR, a database of all research and information funded by the Federal Government related to adverse environmental health or safety risks affecting children, was meant to insure that information about children's environmental health is available to researchers during the planning stages of a project to allow future research to build on available information.

HISTORY
The Pharmacia industry (Pfizer Inc: The world's largest research-based pharmaceutical company. Pfizer Inc discovers, develops, manufactures, and markets leading prescription medicines for humans and ...; and Pharmacia was a pharmaceutical and biotechnological company in Sweden. History. Pharmacia was founded in 1911 in Stockholm, Sweden by pharmacist Gustav Felix Grönfeldt.: Pfizer's merger with Pharmacia)

http://www.nationalchildrensstudy.gov... The National Children’s Study is led by a consortium of federal partners: the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (including the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences of the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
The National Children's Study is a large, long-term study of environmental influences on children's health and development that grew out of the Task Force. The National Children's Study has been proposed and developed through the cooperation of the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Institute of Child Health and Development, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The National Children's Study will examine the effects of environmental influences on the health and development of more than 100,000 children across the United States, following them from before birth until age 21. The goal of the study is to improve the health and well-being of children.
Endorsement of the National Children's Study (then called the Longitudinal Cohort Study) was passed by the U.S. Congress and signed into law on October 17, 2000 as a part of the Children's Health Bill of 2000 (Public Law 106-310).
