claire bowman, yolande soler, and cynthia crews. >> my name is rick haupman. i have been active in public policy and politics in san francisco for most of my 38 years. this month, i celebrate my 30- year anniversary with the harvey milk lgbt democratic club. although i have been active in san francisco politics for almost 30 years, i have rarely appeared before you. i am here today because of the monumental importance of the issue before you. i am a long-time friend appear of phyllis lyons and del martin, for the clinic was named. this clinic provides services to the disenfranchised and disaffected community. it is incumbent upon all of us to keep it open. lucky for me, i am participating in the community -- in the committee that has just raised more than $320,000. with your help, we will be able to keep this enormously important clinic open. a society is best judged by how it treats those among us who are the least fortunate. this is a very important clinic, and i hope to do everything in your power to keep it open. thank you very much. >> mining is clear bow
