Reuters:

President George W. Bush said on Wednesday he used his first veto to block legislation expanding embryonic stem cell research, putting him at odds with top scientists, most Americans and some in his own Republican Party.

Thank you for this political gift, George. Somewhere between half and two-thirds of Americans support embryonic stem cell research. DNC.org has more.

Bush and his "value of Life"

I just got this email from friend; thought I'd post it here to stir the D4U'ers to action.

t: BREAKING: George Bush has vetoed stem cell legislation

Hi there,

Have you heard the news? President Bush has just vetoed stem
cell legislation. With the first veto of his Presidency, he has
sold out to the religious right and dashed hope for millions of
Americans suffering from diseases such as Parkinson's,
Alzheimer's, Multiple Sclerosis, cancer and diabetes.

I am fighting back. I just sent a letter to my Representative
asking them to act to override the President's veto of the Stem
Cell Resarch Enhancement Act. I hope you will join me.

The health of people you love may depend on this vital
legislation. This legislation could enable scientists to find a
cure for Alzheimer's, juvenile diabetes, Parkinson's, and other
crippling and deadly diseases.

Take action now. Time is of the essence, click here:
