WHITE HOUSE'S ACTIONS PROLONG PAIN

Let's look at the actions of the Bush regime in just one area of
American life.

Put yourself in the shoes of someone with Alzheimer's or Parkinson's
or any other life-threatening condition, and look at what the Bush
regime policies say to you.

In August 2001, [Bush] announces [limited] funding of the only
promising medical research into cures for you. Then Attorney General
John Ashcroft goes against [some states'] legalization of medical
marijuana for pain relief and the right to die with dignity. Finally,
Vice President Dick Cheney tries to say criticizing Bush was
treasonable.

It seems they were telling you to give up hope, suffer and shut up and
die!

Look at your loved ones, and remember: Anyone can be stricken by these
diseases. Remember that when you vote!
