Bay Area Poised to Exploit Bartle's Plan

Submitted by Roy Temple on March 23, 2005 - 10:23am

Check out this story from the San Francisco Business Times:

We need an initiative

Submitted by erogers on March 24, 2005 - 8:59am.

As the article points out, even if the stem cell ban fails this year, the issue will still be a dark cloud over the state for years to come.  We need an initiative petittion to put something on the ballot that explicit legalizes stem cell research and maybe even issues some bonds to support research.  Kansas issued research bonds last year and has already been successful at attracting many biotech startups that might have landed on the Missouri side of the KC region.

We need to take the offensive on this issue instead of scrambling on defense year after year.  Besides the stem cell issue, Democrats need to take out Bartle.  Either by finding a viable Dem to run against him, or supporting a moderate Republican to take him out.
