P
resident Bush's veto (his first) of a bill to federally fund embryonic stem cell research is the latest misguided and ignorant decision by our fearless leader. Stem cell research will continue, but the medical benefits will be delayed because of insufficient funding.
If the Bushies have had one overarching principle in their governing, it is to increase wealth to the rich and power to the powerful.

Their ideal government is a plutocracy. Science, the arts and the rest of us have all suffered because of this principle. When will enough people wake up to this fact and demand that Congress impeach this lawless and corrupt administration?

Thomas Jefferson said in a letter to John Adams in 1813: "There is an artificial aristocracy founded on wealth and birth, without either virtue or talents - this artificial aristocracy is a mischievous ingredient in government, and provision should be made to prevent its ascendancy."

It's up to us to do the preventing. Back democratic and progressive candidates. Organize, get active. Vote in November for change!
