DESCRIPTION: \nAs you may recall from a few months ago, medical necessity was argued 
 before Judge Cordova and denied. There are 6 conditions that must be met. 
 His main concern was with one of the stipulations that pertains to the 
 existence of an 'adequate legal alternative'. I probably don't need to tell 
 you that revisiting this issue with Judge Cordova is critical for the case. 
 A third attorney, Martin Baker, has joined the team as co-counsel and will 
 focus on just that.\n\nImportant Dates\n   \nOur next court appearance will 
 be on OCTOBER 25 at 1:30 PM in Department 8 of the Stanislaus County 
 Courthouse. This is a very, very important date as Judge Cordova will be 
 reconsidering medical necessity. We are at a crucial stage and hope for as 
 many supporters in the courtroom as possible ~ please join us if you can!! 
 \n \nThe jury trial date has also been set. We are on the calendar for 
 March 1, 2011. It is expected to be a week-long trial.\n\nCurrent 
 Legislation\n\nAB 1858 and SB 1029 have passed through the Senate and 
 Assembly and are now on Governor Schwarzenegger's desk. AB 1858 would allow 
 the CA Department of Public Health to determine high need areas for syringe 
 exchange programs, rather than leaving the decision to local politicians. 
 SB 1029 would allow pharmacists the discretion to sell a limited number of 
 syringes to adults without a prescription. Passage is absolutely critical 
 for the health and well-being of all Californians-especially those in the 
 Central Valley! We are especially concerned with AB 1858! Please take 
 action below:\n \nhttp://www.harmreduction.org/article.php?id=532\n \n 
 \nThat is all for now ~ there will be more information to come soon. We 
 hope to see you on October 25!\n \n \nThank you so much for your ongoing 
 support ~ \n\nWe need ALL the support & bodies we can get. PLS., come out 
 if you can!\n\n\n\n
