We have breaking news out of California. As you know, we've been following this issue of the mandated Gardasil HBV vaccine. It started out. There's going to be mandated on elementary school children and college students. The elementary school element was knocked down and taken out by Perk. Amy Bond was on and the great work she's doing in other great organizations that are working with them. But we partnered up with Perk on this issue and have been sending her in there with representation. and a lobbyist. We talked about that before. Well, I have huge news. Not only has the mandate for

elementary school students been taken down just yesterday, they have removed the demand and the mandate on college students in California. That means that though there will probably be heavy language out there making you feel like your child has to get it, they don't have to get it. They're going to go to school, whether it's elementary school or university. This is the work we're doing. I want to thank Perk and Amy Bond. and all the other great groups and organizations that came together in this important fight. This is how we do it. This is what winning is all about.

So let's keep doing it. We need your support. We need you out there.
