New StemPAC e-mail. Take Action.
ALERT: Fax Congress -- Demand an Override of the Bush Veto



Dear xxxxxxxxx:

We'll keep it short and sweet, so you can take action as soon as possible:

1) HR 810 passed the Senate with 63 votes

2) President Bush has used his veto

3) Congress is debating RIGHT NOW whether to override it.

Our friends at DefCon have set up a page to fax Congress, to demand an override. Go there now, and send a fax:

http://ga3.org/campaign/stem_cell_override_web

Do not pass go, do not collect $200, send a fax now:

http://ga3.org/campaign/stem_cell_override_web

And remember -- the fight has just begun.

The StemPAC Team

1. This is the second time I've gotten this message today. What to
make of it? I DO have Congresscritters...

We're sorry but it appears that you are not eligible to participate in this campaign. This campaign is designated for constituents of the targeted decisionmaker(s) and based upon your address, it appears that you do not live in an area represented by the targeted decisionmaker(s).

Maybe because the contacts are expensive (?), they only send to those who need to be convinced. I didn't check to see where you live.
Do you have good 'congresscritters'?

on edit, you're from TX? I can't imagine why they would have sent you that message. Seems really weird.

7. Are you watching Harkin on the floor?
He even has a chart.

Before Aug 9, 2001 at 9pm = moral

After Aug 9, 2001 at 9pm = immoral.

Holy shit. He just said bush* is not our moral Ayatollah.

8. Damn.
bush* still needs to have his feet held to the fire for this. Along with the others who voted against progress and hope.

Harkin is now thrashing Rove.

11. Unfortunately they were smart enough not to allow footage
of the veto ...it would have been easy art for the fall. I hope it will help the democrats, however a lot of republicans were with us on this one.
