Exclamation Forget George Bush & Stem Cells

I'm so sick of getting all these petitions & emails to call Bush about Stem Cells. They are never going to convince Bush to change his mind. Maybe its time all these organizations went after The Bill Gates Foundation. They should focus on Charitable organizations starting with Gates!

your right Norm about GWB. these petitions, calls and email are more of a heads up to those folks worried about getting elected in 08.

Norm, keep at it. The enemy wants you to take that approach, so don't!

We'll get there, pal. Even Bush can't stop THIS movement.

Eye on the prize...

Hi Norm
The petitions, emails & phone calls are not so much for Bush but for Senators.
I don't expect Bush to change his mind, he is hard headed & conservative.
But I expect more senators to join in, the bill only needs 2/3 of the vote to pass, so this time with 17 more vote/senators on our side, Bush's veto would have been useless. That's why we need to keep trying to convince more senators to believe on our cause.

(I still say pressure the pharmaceutical companies). If you want water, do you go after the source or just drink from the stream?

The public would be more than happy to oblige in hating those money-grubbing fat cats a la Moore.

Maybe I just need some sleep.
