Like as not (and I am sure, like most overweening officials, she <I>doesn't</I> like being reminded of it) she is a 'civil <I>servant'</I>, not a master.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-39883732970638745062008-03-25T08:51:00.000-05:002008-03-25T08:51:00.000-05:00Hey, Susan Reed, "wanna get away?"Hey, Susan Reed, "wanna get away?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-78755898597478822702008-03-24T23:03:00.000-05:002008-03-24T23:03:00.000-05:00Just another out of control D.A. grandstanding! I...Just another out of control D.A. grandstanding! If the Texas Legislature passed the law allowing needle exchange in Bexar County then it is her sworn duty to comply. Why is she immune to review by a higher authority and sanctioned for her prosecutorial misconduct. I think a blatant act of unlawful conduct of this nature indicates a total disregard for the law and merits disbarment. What a poor example this D.A. projects to the people of Bexar County when she ignores the law and her job is to bring law breakers to justice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-18172721622480244552008-03-24T21:53:00.000-05:002008-03-24T21:53:00.000-05:00Rep.

Garnet Coleman, who authored and joint-authored two bills that would allow local health authorities and organizations to set up needle exchange programs, is a Representative in my area. I hope to work with him in the future to get needle exchange programs really moving. I mean, they've been proven to decrease the HIV/AIDS infection rate.<BR/><BR/><B>Michael Blunk, President<BR/>Students for Sensible Drug Policy @ UH<BR/>mgblunk@gmail.com<BR/>Houston, TX</B>Michael Blunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631648903192876679noreply@blogger.com
