>>Exactly! Anyone who has (or has ever been close to anyone with) Parkinson's or Alzheimer's diseases or a spinal cord injury should be writing a letter to every twit who voted against this. For that matter anyone with diabetes should get a pen out too. Heck the more I think about it, the longer this list gets.
>>I don't understand it. What kind of religious nutjob would rather see a bunch of living crippled, impaired, miserable people running around than to simply allow some research on embryos? Those who voted against this are the least-caring humans in our country!

>This bill simply prevents the expansion of government funding. You are still free to donate either cash or any embryo you and your wife conceive to research.

True - but what bothers me is those who voted against this did it for some twisted "moral" reason, not because of the funding...and this is something that NEEDS funding. Bush said "It crosses a moral boundary that our decent society needs to respect. So I vetoed it." I think the moral boundary that's been crossed here is the lack of compasion for the living.

>Frankly I'm stunned Bush vetoed any government spending.

Need a better lobbist maybe? haha
