We are looking for a paper copy of the letter George Miller sent to all employees on 10/6/2008. If you have a copy, please let me know.
We have a reporter from The Bay Citizen looking for stories
of human interest to supplement an article on our case. She
wants "Someone who has suffered financially or health-wise as a
result of this situation. Perhaps been dropped from insurance altogether
in the confusion". If you think your situation makes you a candidate
and you are willing to talk to her, please let me know. This is on a short
fuse, so please let me know as soon as possible.
UC filed a form asking to have our case categorized as
ÒcomplexÓ. That means a long drawn out case requiring special judicial
handling. We have filed a response
saying hogwash in legalese. The filings are on the web site under legal
documents.
We have requested a short extension to respond to the
Regents' Demurrer. I spoke to the attorney for UC and she agreed.
We are submitting a stipulation to the Court to move the date for our
opposition to Nov 22. This stipulation is likely to be granted by the
Court. UC's reply would then be due Dec 6 and the hearing would be on Dec 16 or
17 or as soon thereafter as the Court could set it.
So far, we have had an entry in the California Watch Blog,
and an article in the Daily Cal. We are still working on the
possibility of a New York Times article in the local edition.
We are preparing a revised charter so we can qualify as a
501(c)(3) tax exempt organization making our contributions deductible. The
rules have changed since we were originally formed and we will have to
incorporate to get the job done.
