The Ray Sandford campaign against his forced electroshock is over, and Ray has won. We ask people to end taking the actions recommended in this seciton of links and begin celebrating.

To understand why Ray Sandford was getting forced outpatient electroshock, the history of the efforts to stop his forced electroshock, and how the campaign won, we have kept up the Rays Web of Link$, below.

 

 

Ray’s Web of Links

 

You are encouraged to add these links to your own blog, FaceBook page, web site, etc. so that more people can search for who is involved in Ray’s life. Help the taxpayers find out who should be thanked, or who should be peacefully asked to support Ray’s right to say “no” to his ongoing forced outpatient electroshock, which meets the legal definition of torture.
