This has been bothering me for a long time. A very close family friend past away of Cancer a few years ago. He and his wife were long-time Republican voters, and I can only assume solely for financial reasons. And it tears me up inside thinking that if they had voted Democrat, and stem cell research had progressed, then maybe he- and so many other people- would still be here today.

Cancer doesn't care if you are a Democrat or Republican, so either the Republicans need to start supporting Stem Cell Research, or people need to stop voting Republican.

I'm tired of losing good people to Cancer. Aren't you?

I was watching and reading all the stories about the fake McCain outrage, and the Sarah Palin lipstick whatever... and it got me thinking. If the press was doing their job what would I have them do, or ask, of McCain instead. Here is my open letter to the mainstream media. If you agree with the letter I hope you'll help me bump it to the front page.
