Marilyn Kay Patterson Mental Health Proposal Speech — This was a speech on the Mental Health proposal that Marilyn Kay Patterson was meant to give at the Houston National Women’s Conference. When I was emailing her, she explained that “There were so many discussions that had had no airtime by Monday, the last morning of the conference, that the leadership said there would be open mic time on Monday morning. I was scheduled to give that speech, but never got to the mic as there were more speakers than time. So I had written it in my hotel room Sunday night and you can see that I was changing my mind as I went along.” She and the New Hampshire Delegation instead passed around a proposal sheet to other delegates near them to be able to get more people to be aware of the issue.
