| The goal of the DMH Follies Documentary is to expose problems and present possible solutions to the issues confronting those providing mental health care in the state hospitals, the patients, and the taxpayers who are expected to pay for this care.
Howerever we need help. Obtaining adequate funding is essential to properly develop and present the material necessary to achieve this goal.
We want to hear from anyone who is willing to help sponsor this Documentary.
We want to hear from present and former mental health patients, and/or their families, who have systemic complaints and stories to tell.
We want to hear from present and former ancillary and professional state hospital staff.
We want to hear from watchdog groups, professionals, private citizens, advocates. In other words - any person interested in reforming state mental health care.

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
-Benjamin Franklin
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgodlins, all of them imaginary.
-H.L. Mencken
America imprisons 756 inmates per 100,000 residents, a rate nearly five times the world's average. About one in every 31 adults in this country is in jail or on supervised release. Either we are the most evil people on earth or we are doing something very wrong
-Senator Jim Webb D., Va
