Feel free to forward:

The Canton Journal (the local newspaper from the town in which the Judge
Rotenberg Center is located) is conducting a poll to determine whether
people support the Massachusetts Governor’s efforts to terminate the consent
decree that gives the Judge Rotenberg Center the right to use electric shock
to control residents’ behavior. So far the responses have been about even.
The poll is quick to take. It’s wording is a little odd:
Â
Sen. Brian A. Joyce applauded Governor Deval Patrick’s effort to get a
1987 court order overturned allowing the Judge Rotenberg Center in Canton to
continue to use aversive therapies, like electric shocks, on disabled
children. Do you agree with Joyce?
Â
If you agree that the use of electric shock for behavior control should be
eliminated; please click below and vote “yes”.
