Why veto something that could save lives?

NOT ABOUT SPORTS, BUT SOMETHING WAY MORE IMPORTANT. GEORGE W. BUSH IS GOING TO HINDER SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY AGAIN TO THE DETRIMENT OF ALL OF US.


Yesterday, Sen. Charles Schumer sent an urgent note-which is included below-saying we needed a grassroots uprising to convince President Bush not to veto the lifesaving Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act.The response was absolutely amazing. And good thing too.President Bush's veto may come as early as Monday morning. We need as many signatures as possible by then.

The president and his right wing ideologues are citing a promising new scientific study showing it MAY be possible to derive the most promising types of stem cells without using embryos. This, despite the fact that the very scientists who made this discovery have said it is important we continue to pursue all avenues of stem cell research.Sen. Tom Harkin, a chief sponsor of the bill, said it best: "It is time to take the shackles off of our federal researchers."Once again, Bush is cherry picking the science to the detriment of us all. So, please, if you haven't signed the DSCC's petition, do so now. We need all of the support we can get.

THANKS TO BIG SHOT BOB
