Hi, There's a sweet 67 yr old woman in MN that a few human rights organizations are trying to help. She's illegally locked up and being given forced electric shock treatments that causes permanent damage. So I'm thinking a "HELP me!" campaign photo of her could help save her life and lead to an end to forced ECT (brain frying). It would look like a spin on the Obama 'HOPE' poster. We have her photo. Please let me know if anyone can help with this custom work and be a part of history? Tim
