Words To Live By
"The era of small government is over ... government has to be more proactive, more aggressive." ( Tim Pawlenty 2006)

"You're just petty politicians, who'd sooner sign onto the wisdom of a tyrant in another country, than the demands of ticked off voters in your own." (Neil Cavuto June 2008)

“I didn’t question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment.” Mr. Cheney went on: “The point I made and I’ll make it again is that Al Qaeda functions on the basis that they think they can break our will. That’s their fundamental underlying strategy, that if they can kill enough Americans or cause enough havoc, create enough chaos in Iraq, then we’ll quit and go home. And my statement was that if we adopt the Pelosi policy, that then we will validate the strategy of Al Qaeda. I said it, and I meant it.” (Vice President Cheney NYT Feb. 2007)

"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. (Ronald Reagan March 1, 1975)

"Oh, no! First of all, if I took one vote away from a serious candidate, it would be a sin." (Al Franken Time Magazine, 9/1/03)

DFL- DNA For Sale

Under the iron fist of the DFL Legislature freedom, privacy, and your baby’s DNA are now at risk. SF3138 passed the MInnesota Senate and is headed to the House. It will easily pass there and the State will begin building a genetic census of the state’s youngest citizens unless Gov. Pawlenty vetoes the bill.

Citizens Council on Health Care is leading the way on that notion. 

May 5, 2007  

Governor Tim Pawlenty 
Office of the Governor 
130 State Capitol 
Saint Paul, MN 55155 

Dear Governor Pawlenty, 

Please pick up your veto pen. You have a critical decision to make. 

The future of human rights, privacy rights, and the rights of human subjects in genetic research will be determined by your decision to sign or veto S.F. 3138. 

S.F. 3138 eliminates current legal informed written parent consent protections for the Minnesota Department of Health’s genetic research program. 

Today, parents must give their consent before the health department can store, use, or share their newborn baby’s DNA for the department’s genetic research program. 

If you do not veto S.F. 3138, the bill will take away today’s informed consent requirements and make Minnesota citizens available for involuntary genetic research.  

 

You can the rest of their letter here. Please send Pawlenty a message to veto SF3138 and protect the DNA of newborns. 

To contact Governor Tim Pawlenty on S.F. 3138:  
Metro: 651-296-3391; Toll free: 1-800-657-3717; Email:  tim.pawlenty@state.mn.us

Here’s the press conference from the CCHC from last week.
