Win or lose tonight for Bush Junior, over 50,000 Americans -- many of whom are fighting heart disease, cancer, or one of the major killer-diseases -- have demanded that Bush take The Stem Cell Pledge. Which starts:
"I, George W. Bush, Jr., being of sound mind and free will, agree to reject all the fruits of stem cell research - that is, any and all therapy, treatment or cure resulting from stem cell research in the U.S. or anywhere in the world - for the rest of my life. So help me God."
This is one pledge Junior wouldn't want to take.
And one that over 50,000 people demand that he must. For if Bush wants to deprive us of the life-saving fruits of stem cell research, he must deprive himself first. And take The Stem Cell Pledge.
Heart Disease. Cancer. Diabetes. Parkinson's. Alzheimer's. Spinal injuries. Even Old Age itself! If you or your loved ones are suffering from these and many more major killer-diseases -- and all of us will sooner or later -- then Breakthroughs from stem cell research are your best hope.
But George W. Bush Jr. and his Religious Right fanatics say drop-dead. These so-called "pro-life" zealots and hypocrites are pushing to make stem cell research a crime! Yes, a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison! It's called the "Brownback-Landrieu Bill" which Bush supports and touts as one of his major accomplishments.
This outrageous stance exposes Bush, the Vatican, and TV evangelists once and for all as The Death Lobby. The pillars of The Death Society. The upholders of The Death Ideology -- which glorifies Death over Life.
And no one has called them on this. Not even Kerry who lamely raised the stem cell issue in only one of the debates. When it should have been an overriding issue.
His so-called wise men and handlers didn't and could never come up with The Stem Cell Pledge. Not surprising since they are trapped in Mortalist Think too. If Kerry had confronted Bush with the Stem Cell Pledge in the debates, he would have gotten a tidal wave of a response from all those fighting cancer, heart disease, etc. Instead of being in a dead heat in the polls, he would have been 20 points ahead.
So here is, in its entirety, The Stem Cell Pledge:
"I, George W. Bush, Jr., being of sound mind and free will, agree to reject all the fruits of stem cell research - that is, any and all therapy, treatment or cure resulting from stem cell research in the U.S. or anywhere in the world - for the rest of my life. So help me God."
"I accept a hundred dollars as consideration to make this pledge an enforceable contract. If I should ever change my mind and violate this pledge/contract, I shall forfeit my entire earthly estate -- which is of little value to me anyway since I'm heaven-bound -- to StemCellPledge.org"
"I promise to spare no efforts to inform physicians, nurses, paramedics, ambulances, emergency rooms, hospitals in the U.S. and around the world of my pledge and to order them to deprive me of any and all medications, treatments, or cures resulting from stem cell research. Even if it were the only way to save my life."
"I authorize anyone to help me inform physicians, nurses, paramedics, ambulances, emergency rooms, hospitals in the U.S. and around the world of my pledge."
"I authorize in advance any physician, nurse, paramedic, ambulance, emergency room, hospital or anyone administering first aid to me in the U.S. and around the world to carry out this pledge on my behalf."
"I agree to wear a "Stem Cell Pledge" locket at all times around my neck which visibly and clearly informs any physician, nurse, paramedic, ambulance, emergency room, hospital or first aid giver of my pledge, a covenant with God Almighty himself, and this locket shall order them to honor it."
Signed _______________________
George W. Bush, Jr.
It's only fair! If Bush deprives you and your loved ones of the life-saving fruits of stem cell research, he must deprive himself first.
Why is The Stem Cell Pledge so powerful in clarifying this issue from all the bull? Because if Bush refuses to sign The Pledge, he exposes his hypocrisy and loses all credibility. If he signs The Pledge, he will be signing his own death warrant. As he is signing yours and mine.
Win or lose for Junior tonight, The Stem Cell Pledge will have a big role to play in the next four years. As all those who are pushing to ban or criminalize stem cell research must be confronted with it, and made to sign it. And face the lethal consequences. For the rest of their wretched lives.
It shows the stakes cannot be higher. It is literally life or death. And the clock is ticking.

Why Stem Cell Not Campaign Issue
Why was stem cell research a non-issue in this endless campaign? They talked about everything except what you and I really care about. Everything but stem cell research. Which can save countless millions of Americans. In fact every American eventually. What better proof of the disconnect between the powers that be in the Death Society and you and me?
Okay, John Kerry did try to make an issue of it for about two days. But all because of celeb-driven photo-ops.The first Michael J. Fox. The second the widow of the newly-deceased Christopher Reeve. If not for these photo-ops, would stem cell even be a two-day issue?
Why? When stem cell research promises breakthrough treatments -- even cures -- for everything from heart disease, cancer, diabetes to Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and spinal injuries.
9/11 killed less than 3,000. Iraq has killed over 1,000 U.S. soldiers. Horrendous. But heart disease alone will kill over 750,000 Americans this year. And cancer over half a million.
So to prevent another 9/11, we have given the Pentagon a blank check. Spent over $200 billion just for the Iraq invasion and occupation. Bush demands another $75 billion more. There’s no end to that. It’s a black hole. And Bush and Ashcroft have replaced our constitutional civil liberties with the so-called ”Patriot’s Act.”
But to prevent 1.3 million U.S. deaths from cancer and heart disease which is a sure thing this and every year, what is Bush doing?
Well, he is going to criminalize -- yes, criminalize -- stem cell research in his second term. Yep, make his buddies in the Religious Right happy by making life-saving stem cell research a flaming felony. It’s called the ”Brownback-Landrieu Bill” and it will be a high priority if Bush steals the White House again. And he and the Religious Right claims to be ”pro-life.” As I pointed out in The ImmmorTalist Manifesto, he and the Religious Right are the Pro-Death Lobby. In fact, The Death Society establishment.
So how does Kerry fare? Well, Ron Reagan Junior claims that Kerry promised him on the phone that his first act as President would be to rescind Bush Junior’s executive decree cutting off federal funding for stem cell research. That’s better than Bush obviously.
But that’s not enough. We need the federal funding to pour into stem cell research. If its fruits -- its breakthroughs -- are to come in time for you and me.
And that’s extremely unlikely to happen even if Kerry gets elected. Because he’s boxed himself into a corner and is unlikely to be able to pull out from Iraq anytime soon. So there will be little or no money for stem cell research. Or so Kerry too will tell us. Even though he should know better. Since he’s had cancer -- prostate cancer -- himself.
No, let’s not be content with crumbs from the funding table! They have money to burn when it comes to reckless, unnecessary wars resulting from their steadfast blunders and disastrous foreign policies. But when it comes to saving our lives, they plead poverty and ”fiscal responsiblity.”
If they’re going to spend up to $300 billion at this early stage on the rinky-dink Iraq invasion and occupation, then we ImmorTalists demand they match this amount for stem cell research, for heart disease research, for cancer research, for anti-aging research!
But the fact that stem cell research is a flickering blip on the radar of this campaign proves that 1) we live in a Death Society and most are still acting according to their Mortalist programming, 2) Mortalist politics has a total disconnect with what you and I really care about 3) politicians and media are bankrupt and trapped in Mortalist ideology which glorifies sacrifice and death.
And this is why they cannot find the money or priority for stem cell research. Or for saving your life.
