For those of you too lazy or busy to read, here's some paragraphs that sum it up nicely:

Quote:As The Hill noted last week, 133 plaintiffs filed a civil suit against Romney’s Utah finance co-chair, Robert Lichfield, and his various business entities involved in residential treatment programs for adolescents. The umbrella group for his organization is the World Wide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools (WWASPS, sometimes known as WWASP) and Lichfield is its founder and is on its board of directors.

Quote:But the link to teen abuse goes far higher up in the Romney campaign. Romney’s national finance co-chair is a man named Mel Sembler. A long time friend of the Bushes, Sembler was campaign finance chair for the Republican party during the first election of George W. Bush, and a major fundraiser for his father.

Like Lichfield, Sembler also founded a nationwide network of treatment programs for troubled youth. Known as Straight Inc., from 1976 to 1993, it variously operated nine programs in seven states. At all of Straight’s facilities, state investigators and/or civil lawsuits documented scores of abuses including teens being beaten, deprived of food and sleep for days, restrained by fellow youth for hours, bound, sexually humiliated, abused and spat upon.

Let that sink in for a moment. Not only did the teen behavior modification industry help fund the President ever since 2000, but a man who is undoubtedly going to push for the Republican nomination in 2012 has been deep in bed with these "people" for years.
Think about what this could mean. We can kiss any possibility for regulating the camps goodbye. That UN Declaration on the Rights of the Child that would crack down on them? Forget about it. Never again could we count on Federal law enforcement to come to the prisoners' aid.

I'm going to make this as simple as I can: Mitt Romney cannot be allowed to sit in the Oval Office. If it really looks like he's got a shot in 2012, we need to swallow our pride and support whoever has the best chance to beating him, whatever party they may be. If any of you are (or will be) registered Republicans by then, try to vote him out in the primaries. This isn't a party issue, it's a youth freedom issue.
