Words To Live By
"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 #2

Oh, it ain’t over yet. 

Baby DNA Warehouse bill – ACT NOW!

There’s been a delay! Worries about the bill are growing. The Health Department’s Baby DNA Warehouse and Genetic Research bill, S.F. 3138, was supposed to be heard tonight (Wed, 5/7), but it wasn’t.

However, the bill will probably come up tomorrow (Thur, May 8), so take action as soon as you read this!

Here’s what happened. We heard that the Governor has suddenly taken an interest in the bill (lots of your citizen petitions!). Republicans who were ready to vote YES on the bill still erroneously thinking it was better than current law began changing their minds after CCHC began talking to them one on one outside the House chamber. And a Republican legislator has introduced a motion to return the bill to conference committee until it no longer eliminates consent. At 8:30 p.m. tonight, the Governor’s head health care policy staffer suddenly appeared at the State Capitol. She was huddled with the author of the bill (Rep. Thissen (D-Mpls)) and three state health department lobbyists. CCHC then began sending in notes to both sides of the aisle telling them to vote NO on the bill because it eliminates informed parent consent requirements currently in law today. Not that much later, the House decided to adjourn and go home (11:00 p.m.)

The bill never came up for a vote! This gives us more time!

(Info from CCHC)

Please contact your House member and tell them to vote no, then the Governor and urge him to veto.

    Um….it’s over. President Bush signed a similar bill into law last weekend. What we do here is apparently meaningless now…
