HEA
Continues
to
Get
Publicity
4/9/04
The campaign to repeal the
drug provision of the Higher Education Act continues to garner favorable
publicity for the issue. On Monday, April 5, Dr. Marc Shinderman,
head of a major methadone treatment program in Chicago, responded to the
recent New York Times story with a letter to the editor on the topic --
visit http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/05/opinion/L05ADDI.html
to read it!
An article with which we
had no direct role in prompting (that we know of) appeared on March 30
in the Sacramento Bee, showing that our media efforts are getting the word
out and fostering a wider level of interest and awareness in the issue.
Visit http://www.sacbee.com/content/news/columns/erwin/story/8693948p-9621708c.html
to read the Bee's story.
Our friends at Students for
Sensible Drug Policy continue to rack up press hits too. Some of
the following articles mention SSDP, some involved other members of our
coalition, some don't, but check them out regardless:
