My Response to Concord Monitor Article about Youssef Petition Findings

My Response to Concord Monitor Article about Youssef Petition Findings | Kevin Avard for State Rep:

I am aghast at the blatant distortions and half-truths reported about Mr. Youssef’s petition findings in today’s Concord Monitor by Annmarie Timmins.  From the article it is evident that there is a high level of contempt displayed by Ms. Bernson towards both the people of N.H. and Mr. Youssef as an individual and as a parent.

Mr. Youssef brought copious evidence to support every one of his claims to nine committee hearings.  The public was given notice of every hearing and those named in Youssef’s petition were actually invited to provide a defense or rebuttal – yet nobody showed up, including Bernson as well as members of the court.  Furthermore Timmins was absent at the vast majority of Youssef’s hearings and is not acquainted with the facts.  This speaks of her leftist-agenda-driven approach to journalism and proves that her work and her newspaper are nothing more than outlets of partisan low-blow politics.

And so do CPS/DCYF worker's!


Johnson & Johnson, the company that makes the antipsychotic drug Risperdal, has tentatively agreed to a settlement of $2.2 billion to resolve a federal investigation into the company's marketing practices. Although details are not fully finalized, this includes "a roughly $400 million criminal fine for the illegal promotion of the antipsychotic Risperdal," according to the Wall Street Journal. It's been well documented that Johnson & Johnson confidentially paid psychiatrists such as Harvard's Joseph Biederman to promote adult drugs such as the powerful antipsychotic drug Risperdal for children. The company has even ghost-written at least one of the Harvard professor's "scientific" articles.
