Obama and stem cell research and....

Here's a headline for you,"Obama to reverse embryonic stem cell ban.." Wow! This guy is doing more for "the people" of this country in the first 100 days that Bush did in 8 years. In order to satisfy the religious right George W. Bush signed an executive order that barred The National Institutes of Health from funding research on embryonic stem cells. The road to cures from diabetes to parkinson's disease can be greatly improved. Science and medicine are used to improve the quality of life for human beings. Now we go to the opposition. I've always been an advocate of separation of church and state here's one of the reasons. Tony Perkins who represents the Family Research Council , it's a right wing faith based think tank, here's the web address:
www.frc.org The book image shows how the religious are on a quest to change government policy. Tony Perkins and Harry Jackson say that if you unite the parties under the pro-life, pro-family mainstay we can influence immigration policy, poverty and social justice, racial reconcilliation and global warming. Why can't you address these issues under the guise of mankind not religious belief. They both say that if they can bring together the evangelical movement it can result in faith friendly policies. Barack is a very deeply religious man but I hope he continues to put politics and government first and foremost in policy making, not a belief in a superstition.
