ATTENTION ALL WHO VOTED FOR PRESIDENT BUSH.
Prepare yourself for the things to come in the next 4 years...
Stem Cell Research will be banned. (Hopefully someone in your family will never get cancer or some other life threatening disease in the next ten years that could have or should have been cured through this research!)
Tort Reform will be passed and place very low caps on many types of settlements. (Hopefully someone in your family will not be in a serious accident or have incompetent surgery causing them the inability to work for the rest of their life, and because of Tort Reform they will only receive the minimal capped amount - possibly 1/10th of their earning potential! Things look good on paper and bashing lawyers is fun until it happens to you or your family!)
The Supreme Court will possibly have two new appointees that will effect many decisions that have been in place for many years - perhaps banning abortion and many other rights of women!
The North Slopes of Alaska will be ravaged for more oil to feed those overwhelming appetites for profit of the greedy oil companies that CONTRIBUTE SO MUCH to the Bush campaign.
The Pharmaceutical Industry, which has over 600 lobbyists in Washington, will continue to CONTRIBUTE to the Republican Party insuring prescriptions will cost 200% to 600% more than the same prescriptions they sell to other countries. That's so sad for all the Senior Citizens in America.
The Deficit will continue to climb insuring that Social Security benefits will be cut drastically and interest rates will eventually go through the roof!
And last but not least, the Gun Lobby, who is a huge contributor to the Republican Party, has assured that any living breathing American, including criminals, can now own a beautiful, shiny, new AK-47 assault weapon purchased from a gun show to hunt or kill...???
You who voted for George W. Bush will have to live with the consequences stated above - but it is so sad that the other 49% of the Americans will also!
