There's a First for Everything

Bush vetoed legislation for the first time in his presidency today. He rejected legislation that promotes stem cell research which could help over 110 million Americans who suffer from Parkinsons, Alzheimers and diabetes. Bush also turned his back on over 70% of the population who support such research in order to cater to a vocal minority that has hijacked the Republican party and our democratic process.

Some people will say, "Come on, this is the first time he's vetoed a bill! He must feel strongly."

This latest blow to science and education says more about Congress than Bush's administration. Our elected representatives finally stood up to the man and rejection was the response. Join the majority of our citizens and call on Congress to override his veto.
