NAMI funded by drug companies

The National Alliance on Mental Illness has received criticism over the years for its links to questionable individuals and policies. For instance, it has supported right-wing laws to allow court-ordered druggings of the so-called "mentally ill."

(Incidentally, the media - including the right-wing Los Angeles Times - has generally supported such laws, and has tried to imply that the only opponents are Scientologists. This is an outright deception - or in plain English, a lie.)

Now - to nobody's surprise - a Senate investigation has uncovered the fact that most of NAMI's funding comes from makers of psychiatric drugs. Since 2005, 56% of the organization's funding has come from this racket.

NAMI is a living example of ongoing corruption by Big Pharma.
