DESCRIPTION:*Attend Hearing in Fresno to Stop a Ban Against Medical Marijuana 
 \nDispensaries\n*\n\n*What:* Fresno City Council hearing to vote on a ban 
 against medical \nmarijuana dispensaries\n*Where:* Fresno City Hall, 2600 
 Fresno Street, Fresno CA.\n*When: *Tuesday, August 29, 2006 at 
 8:30am\n*Why: *Voicing opposition to bans like Fresno's is critical to 
 providing \naccess for patients and to stemming the tide of illegal bans 
 taking \nplace across the state\n\n*Background:*\nOn April 25, 2005, 
 Americans for Safe Access filed a lawsuit against the \nCity of Fresno \n 
 for \nbanning dispensaries within its city limits. Fresno's affront to 
 patient \naccess is symbolic of misinformed communities across California. 
 It was \nimportant then and it's still critically important for advocates 
 to take \na stand against Fresno's and others' actions to obstruct 
 much-needed \naccess for patients.\n\nOn August 22, 2006, more than a year 
 after the lawsuit was filed, the \nFresno City Council introduced another 
 ordinance that continues a ban \nagainst dispensaries. The new proposed 
 ordinance coming up for a vote \nnext Tuesday allows patients and advocates 
 a rare opportunity to voice \nopposition and work to overturn a ban against 
 dispensaries in that city. \nThe new proposed ordinance requires that 
 dispensaries and cooperatives \noperate consistent with federal law. This 
 renewed ban must be \nhighlighted and opposed!\n\nPlease speak out and tell 
 the council that you support an ordinance in \nFresno, but that the 
 proposed ordinance is a BAN and the provision about \nconsistency with 
 federal law must be removed!\n\nPlease click here for speaking points \n on 
 opposing \ndispensary bans.\n\nPlease click here for more info on 
 protecting dispensaries \n across the \nstate.\n\n-- \nAlex
