The President has claimed that his stem cell research veto is about values - but you and I know these are far from the real values that most Americans share.
Instead, the President has adopted the extreme so-called "values voter" agenda of right-wing ideologues like James Dobson, Jerry Falwell, and Pat Robertson. We know the religious right is dangerous, and must be fought at every turn. Join DefCon America today, and we'll fight against their extreme agenda together.
I support DefCon: Campaign to Defend the Constitution because the religious right is wrong:
- Wrong to pursue an agenda that is un-American and threatens the principles that made this country great.
- Wrong to impose religion on our courts or legal system. Independent courts, free from political and religious influence, are fundamental to democracy.
- Wrong to interfere in personal decisions on matters from medical treatment and pregnancy to lifestyle choices.
- Wrong to teach religious rhetoric in place of scientific fact in public schools.
- Wrong to let religion stand in the way of scientific and technological progress that is essential to the country's economic growth and to the health and education of my family and fellow citizens.
I support what is truly right in America -- a society based on reason, personal freedom, the rule of law and the freedom to worship according to one's faith and beliefs.
