The Outrage: The Political Dirty Trick to Silence YOUR Voice About The Stem Cell Override Vote
Once again the anti-science portion of the Administration has won the day and the President has not only used his first veto on the Stem Cell Research Bill but pulled one of the dirtiest tricks on record by putting the override vote on the floor of the House hours after the veto BEFORE you and other Americans could be heard.
This bill which, could end so many dramatic conditions and diseases, was championed by the REPUBLICAN SENATE LEADER Dr. Bill Frist. Yet even that wasn't enough to stop the Republicans from jamming the Veto Override Vote into the evening hours. And we lost.
Now you have the chance to let your Senators and Representative know how you feel about this bill and their despicable actions! The potential for Stem Cell Research to change millions of lives over the next decades is gone for now. Yet this fight isn't over. It will come up over and over again.
You need to make it clear to both Houses that this is one of those issues, supported by a majority of the nation, that will help determine your vote in the next election.
Write your letter below in your own words. Write it from your heart. If your family or friends have been touched by one of the many diseases and conditions that Stem Cell Research may eventually cure or stop....tell that story. And tell them that political dirty tricks are from days gone past...and you recognize them for exactly what they are....dirty politics.
Write from the heart with passion. These actions, which make the voice of the people unimportant, cannot be ignored. My campaign is fully behind you as are hundreds of other Democrats and many Republicans.
Today is an important day. Today we can make a difference by telling them, as Gov. Dean has said, "Enough is Enough!" It's up to us.
