Just wanted to drop a quick note about stem cell research…
President Bush is expected to veto the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act which calls for more federal funding towards “controversial” stem cell research.
So what does our “I speak for the country” President have in store? A veto. Yup… even though the bill is expected to pass with flying colors through Congress, our President… who happens to think that God talks to him (and ironically enough, probably mispronounces nuclear as well)… will grind this to a halt, for the religious right.
What can you do to help? Tell your goverment!
The Defcon Campaign to Defend the Consitution is a group that defends the consitution against crazy people (read: the Religious Right). Sign up for an account and they will prepopulate messages that you can send to the senators and even the President! I got an automated response from him today when I gave him a piece of my mind!
Do you really want people who believe in mystical powers and large boats with tons of animals on it running our country? Didn’t think so…
