Contact: Clark Sullivan 415 424 0125 freemansullivan [at] yahoo.com ; on site: Tony Bowles 415 283 7404

Who: Axis of Love San Francisco, HempEvolution.org, California Marijuana Party, California NORML, Libertarian Party of San Francisco

What: Press conference and rally at the Placer Co. Superior Court in support of Steven Wynn Kubby, medical cannabis patient, who is being denied proper medical care while in custody.

When: Tuesday, January 31st, 2006; 12 Noon

Where: Department 13, Placer Co. Superior Court; 11532 B Avenue; Auburn, California link to Mapquest

Why: We request all medical cannabis patients, caregivers and friends join us in supporting Steve Kubby 59, a Drug War political prisoner, Prop 215 co-author and former Libertarian candidate for CA, in his legal struggles with Placer Co. authorities as he battles for his life while in solitary confinement.

We demand that Mr. Kubby be transferred from solitary confinement to the infirmary [where he can receive medical care] and that he be administered his life-giving medicinal cannabis immediately!

Steve's medical condition is rapidly deteriorating, as he is ill with a rare form of adrenal cancer, which creates tumors that produce deadly amounts of adrenaline which enter his blood stream. He is in grave mortal danger and requires constant medical supervision. We believe his treatment by Placer Co. authorities constitute cruel and unusual punishment, for which they will be held accountable by the citizens of the state of California.
