AA Action Alert: Speak out against Bush veto of stem cell research bill! |
Speak Out Against Bush Veto of Stem Cell Research Bill!
http://www.atheists.org/action/alert-21-jul-2006.html
Mark Thomas, President of the Atheists of Silicon Valley is urging
Atheists, Freethinkers, Humanists and other nonbelievers to speak out
against President Bush’s veto of funding for important stem cell
research.
In a letter to local newspapers, Mr. Thomas writes:
The idea that a few hundred cells has the moral equivalence of a
thinking human being is absurd, and exposes an ideology that is bereft
of human compassion. George W. Bush’s term “compassionate conservative”
is nothing but empty political rhetoric. Once again, religion is
attempting to stop the progress of science and medicine that could
improve the quality of life for many of us.
We encourage you to speak out in defense of humane and enlightened stem
cell research! California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is authorizing
loans to put his state in the lead for important medical breakthroughs
that utilize stem cell investigation. A full national effort is
required, though. And Mr. Bush’s veto of this important legislation
shows that he is putting religious dogmatism ahead of good science.
* Contact your local newspapers with letters supporting stem cell
research.
* Be sure to sign your letter or E-mail, and include your address.
Check the paper’s guidelines for writing letters to the editor.
* Share your letters and replies on our web site! Visit

* Spread this Action Alert!
(AMERICAN ATHEISTS is a nationwide movement that defends civil rights
for Atheists; works for the total separation of church and state; and
addresses issues of First Amendment public policy.)

We've been speaking, shouting, crying and raging against virtually
everything said and done by Bush since he took over in 2001. What makes
you think this will make any more difference than all the rest of it?
