Missouri Cures Without Cloning Campaign Update

From Jaci Winship at Missouri Cures without Cloning:

I know many of you have questions as we shift our focus longer term and I hope this email will answer those questions.

First, as noted by one liberal blog, our commitment to protecting our state from becoming a haven for human cloning experiments continues to discourage cloners from setting up shop in Missouri. While our movement to close the human cloning loophole in our constitution builds, our coalition partners work hard to protect taxpayer dollars from this unethical, unnecessary and unproven research. All of us working together will be victorious because Missourians do not support human cloning experiments.

Many of you have asked about the logistics and timeline for the next phase of the campaign.

This summer and fall we will hold informational meetings across the state. These meetings will provide an opportunity for us to share ideas and plans. We will also continue to expose the deceptions about human cloning and share the truth about the scientific breakthroughs that provide real cures and treatments.

In addition to the Presidential race, many critical Missouri leaders will be elected this November. I encourage you to actively support candidates who stand with us in opposition to human cloning.

This November, we will submit our initiative petition for the 2010 general election to the Secretary of State. We are prepared for the possibility that Robin Carnahan will still hold the office and will be as devious and misleading as she has been during this term. However, even if we have to proceed through another court challenge, we should have ample time to collect signatures. We could be collecting signatures a year from now!

Thank you all for your time, talent and financial support of this critical effort to protect human dignity. I look forward to meeting with you over the next few months as together we continue to build our extensive grassroots movement toward victory in 2010.
