Fight the President's Veto!
---------------------------------
TAKE ACTION: Call the President and express your outrage over his veto of S.
5. Fight back by calling your Senators urging them to override the veto. If you
want to do more, contact key politicians in the U.S. Senate to get a
veto-override majority.
---------------------------------
On Wednesday, June 20th, President Bush vetoed the Stem Cell Research
Enhancement Act (also known as SCREA or S. 5). This was the third veto of
Bush's presidency; two of his vetoes have come at the expense of legislation
that would expand federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.
Americans for Cures is saddened that the President has chosen, once again, to
put his personal ideology above the desire of the American people to see
critical funding go to this science.
Make your voice heard and call Washington to express your disappointment and
outrage.
Here's what you can do:
1. Call the President!: The number for the White House opinion line is
202-456-1111. This number is only open from 9am to 5pm EST. You may also call
the White House Switchboard at 202-456-1414.
2. Contact Congress!: Call your Senators and urge them to override the veto.
3. Call Key Senators for a Veto Override in the U.S. Senate: In the Senate
we need only one more "Yes" vote to override President Bush's veto: We need 67
votes and we have 66. A veto override will put strong pressure on the President
and on those in the House who oppose the research.
U.S. Senators Robert Casey (D-Pennsylvania) and John Sununu (R-New Hampshire)
represent our two best chances for the 67th vote to override the veto in the
Senate. Please consider contacting these two Senators and urge them to support
stem cell research by overriding the President's veto.
To contact Senator Casey, you can call his office at (202) 224-6324, fax him
a letter at (202) 228-0604, or send him an email. Please consider doing all
three of these if your time permits.
To contact Senator Sununu, you can call his office at (202) 224-2841, fax him
a letter at (202) 228-4131, or send him an email. If you would like an easy way
to ask your friends and family to urge the Senator to vote for an override, you
can send them an email by clicking here.
Lastly, if you have time, please contact the Senators who were just elected
in 2006 and urge them to override President Bush's veto. It is the duty of
these Senators to represent their constituents and it is clear that a majority
of Americans support expanding federal funding for this lifesaving research.
Thank you for all your hard work and commitment to this cause.
Best Regards,
Americans for Cures
