Guess who President Bush wants to be the next U.S. Surgeon General?
Hint: His past writings indicate that he believes homosexuality is a "lifestyle" choice that should be "cured," and he has compared reproductive organs to plumbing parts. His name is Dr. James Holsinger. And he's the man America might be depending on for sound medical advice.
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. That means that instead of hearing the usual warnings against smoking and drinking, America might be subjected to a new one that says, "homosexuality is unnatural and unhealthy!"
I'm outraged - and I knew you would be, too. But we can do something to stop Holsinger from becoming our nation's top doctor. I wrote my Senators, telling them to vote NO on his nomination. Will you join me? The Senate needs to hear from as many of us as possible - so that they have no choice but to listen. Take action today by clicking here.
