Petition - CAA Does Not Speak For ME

Several independent advocates have collaborated to produce a petition requesting that government agencies recognize that the CAA is not our voice. 

As I said in my comment to the petition:

The CAA does not speak out in the interest of patients who are fighting to regain their lives (what's left of them) and those of their families.
There is no sense of urgency. Complacency disguised as an "inner voice" has left us in a state of failed health with no one to speak for change. Twenty years of Kim McCleary and a board who buys her philosophy of ignoring the patients has and will continue to cause grave harm. Despite obvious signs of patient dissatisfaction it's business as usual. Despite statements that the organization is small and "can't do everything" it moves at the pace the large institutions it should be fighting at every turn.
New patient organizations will forum and until such time as there is one willing to take the FIGHT to those ignoring our plight, it is time to recognize that that the CAA doesn't represent the patients.
The CAA doesn't speak for me and I would prefer it didn't speak at all.
Please participate in this grass roots collaboration!  The petition is here.
