In open letter to President Bush re. stem cell
Dear Mr President,

I suffer with young onset parkinsons and I am thirty six years old.
My speech slurs, my hands tremble and my legs shake and thats on a good day. I suffer from perodic bouts of muscle freezing, facial stiffness, headaches, and involuntairly muscle movement. In the winter time my legs freeze for weeks at a time and I have to crawl to use the bathroom and with the shoulder tremors even toilet habits are difficult. Then there is the leg running. My legs run some much at night my parents sound like I am going to kick down the walls.

That's right I am thirty six years old and I still live with my parents. I am on social security you see and can no longer work. It a mere 500 a month and the majority of that goes to medicine and bills.
Lucky for me I have a family who will help me out though. See my family is old school my father is a career marine drill instructor and was in the drill squad, my mom taught music and worked factory jobs on the side. And Mr President we never missed a day of church and have voted for a wide array of politicians of all party lines.

Dear Mr President this brings me too the point of this letter.
What you said about condeming those of us who want stem cell research was the most base and vile thing I ever heard from a leader of our country. Mr President I take my faith in Jesus Christ very seriously that is why I do not use him as a political schill to excite a base or a wedge issue tactic. I also know that Jesus christ would want us to treat GBLT people equally as well but that is a topic for a later debate. What disgust me is that today you openly insult disabled people and condem them for wanting a cure?

Dear Mr. President, I would really like to know what scriptures your readding. And I would encourage you to read the story of lazorus and the pit. And the next time that your in church Mr President I sincerly hope that it is more for a mere photo op and a taste of wine. Of course than again the devil loves to masquerade as an angel of light.
