Reminder: Say NO to Holsinger!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Donna,

 

I just checked with our staff, and 43,444 people have already taken

action to make sure Dr. James Holsinger does NOT become America's next

Surgeon General. Like you, they know that America needs a top doctor who is

committed to promoting the best-available science, not an anti-gay agenda.

 

 

Will you take a moment to add your voice? Our goal is to hit 75,000

letters by tomorrow in order to send a powerful message to the U.S. Senate:

DO NOT CONFIRM HOLSINGER.

 

 

You can help - just go to HRC's special action page at:

www.StopHolsinger.com

 

Then, please forward this email along to your friends. My original

email with all the details is below. Thank you!

America's top doctor?

 

Or America's top anti-gay spokesperson?

 

Tell your Senators to vote NO on Bush's nominee for Surgeon

General.

Dear Donna,

 

Which of these warnings comes from the U.S. Surgeon General?

 

A. " Smoking causes lung cancer. "

B. " Women should not drink alcoholic beverages during pregnancy. "

C. " Gay activity is unnatural and unhealthy. "

 

If President Bush has his way, ALL OF THE ABOVE might soon be the

answer. His recent nomination of Dr. James Holsinger as America's top doctor

flies in the face of science, medicine - and our nation's health.

 

Send a message to your Senators today, telling them to vote NO on

Holsinger's nomination.

How can we trust Holsinger to be America's top doctor, when his

resume looks like this:

a.. In 1991 used basic plumbing analogies to write a " scientific

and medical " paper arguing that homosexuality is unnatural and dangerous.

b.. Founded the Hope Springs Community Church, which reportedly

has a special program to " cure " gays from " that lifestyle. "

c.. Past writings indicate that he views sexual orientation as a

" lifestyle choice. " This could not be further from the view held by

mainstream medical or scientific organizations.

James Holsinger's record seems to demonstrate that he is

uninterested in the best scientific information available; instead, he

allows his anti-gay bias to inform his medical judgments. What will he do if

he's given the title of Surgeon General?

Countless organizations have already voiced their outrage at

Holsinger's nomination. Help turn it into a national outcry, by taking

action today - and when you're done, PLEASE forward this message on to

friends and family.

 

The Surgeon General is charged with protecting America's health.

That doesn't mean some Americans, or not those Americans. It means all

Americans.

 

Thank you.

 

Warmly,

 

Joe Solmonese

President
