I NEED YOUR HELP TODAY!!!

Hey, I am not one for being political and protesting and all that good stuff, but this one directly affects me!!!

Here is what I need you folks to do TODAY, Friday, July 30, 2004.

Call Governor Schwarzenegger at his Los Angeles Office and tell him:"My name is __________, and I am calling to ask Governor Schwarzenneger to exempt HIV/AIDS specialty pharmacies from the Medi-Cal pharmaceutical price reductions. The pharmacies support life giving services to people like my friend/brother Quoc who are living with HIV and AIDS."

Here is why: The Governor is scheduled to sign the California budget tomorrow, Saturday, July 31, 2004 and an URGENT action is needed today to help save AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) pharmacy services. The Governor is planning on implementing cuts to Medi-Cal pharmacy reimbursements. These cuts will directly affect AHF pharmacy services. We want the Governor to exempt non-profit HIV/AIDS clinics with pharmacies from the Medi-Cal pharmaceutical price reductinos!!!Non-proft clinic based pharmacies with a strong commitment to the HIV/AIDS community, like AHF Pharmacies, will have to cut services or struggle to find additional funding to support HIV and AIDS care for people who have nowhwere else to go if cuts to Medi-Cal reimbursements go through.

Please call and support this effort!!! One phone call does indeed make a huge difference. Consider it me asking a favor of you to call and encourage your family and friends to call as well!!! It makes a difference.Thank you! It will not make the protest effort that members (like myself included) of AHF made at the front steps of Governor Schwarzenneger's Los Angeles State Building.

Governor Schwarzenner's State Office number:

213-897-0322 (Los Angeles)

415-703-2218 (San Francisco)
