In a rare display of disregard for the rights of patients and states as a whole, the federal government is “cracking down” on HopeNet!

After operating in the community for over eight years, serving members of our cooperative through good times and bad, and helping to keep the neighborhood safe; our landlord recieved a letter from the U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag’s office. An abridged version of the letter says that HopeNet is too close to a school. Within a thousand feet of Presidio Knolls to be exact. Which is news to HopeNet and the City of San Francisco, as Presidio Knolls moved into the neighborhood three years ago without an inkling to their existence since.

We’re understandably concerned by this, since this sort of action by the federal government is in no way a sign of good faith to the voters of California or the American tax payers as a whole. And it endangers our patients and their medication! So we’re going to tell them what we think about it. In letter form, in phone calls, in media here in San Francisco and abroad. Our elected officials were voted into office by we the people. They should be held as accountable with the officials they appointed.

So let’s remind the appointmented U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California, Melinda Haag, that we the people shouldn’t be tread on and abused for the sake of empty laws and poorly spent tax dollars. Join HopeNet in the coming weeks as we get back to our roots and help our patients voices be heard.
