President Put Politics First

by Wash. Dem. Rep. Brian Baird - 07/20/06 7:20 AM ET

The President put politics before the American people yesterday when he vetoed H.R. 810, a bill that would have expanded life-saving stem cell research. How can he claim to value life, when he is depriving millions of Americans the promise of life-saving medical cures?

We have always been a nation of progress and advancement. But the majority party’s election year political pandering will reverse that rewarding course and deprive millions of ailing Americans the promise of life-saving cures.
