http://www.mediafordemocracy.us/campaign/debates Following is the guestion I submitted: Subject: MENTAL HEALTH SCREENING OF THE ENTIRE US POPULATION .

This question is for President Bush and I welcome comments from Senator Kerry. Mr. President, in light if the recent admission from the FDA, of the potentially harmful, even suicidal, side effects of antidepressants, particularly with our our nation's youth, will you you still continue with your plans to have the entire US population screened for "mental illnesses"? Many suspect that this initiative to be more on behalf of Pharmaceutical's "bottom line" rather than for our own wellbeing.
