Sam Brownback has gone too far. Mind you he's had loony positions before, like proposing to divide Iraq, to abolish the departments of education, energy and commerce, wanting to be the next Jesse Helms, wanting to ban abortion, and suggesting we privatize social security. But now he's just gone too far.
He wants to ban half-human, half-animal genetically modified creatures.
This doesn't just affect minotaurs, centaurs and satyrs. It affects human beings too. Genetic research which injects human DNA material into animals or vice versa in order to cure genetic diseases would be prohibited. That cure for cancer you were hoping for? Fuhgeddaboudit! An antidote to ebola infection? No way. The next botox? Keep dreaming.
Let the radical right continue to mythologize Sam Brownback. It's time for mythological creatures like us to stand up for our rights!!!
If you're a mermaid, minotaur, centaur or satyr, or just someone who wants Kansas to be represented by a force for reason instead of Brownback's voice of religious fanaticism, act now by donating here!
