Yeah Bush !!!!!
Veto that thing and veto it hard.
You may think I am being hard on "all those poor people who need this research", but I am NOT. What the news agencies are NOT telling you is that this ONLY applies to "Embryonic" research and NOT ADULT stem cell research. The media keeps hyping embryonic as the last possible hope for Parkinson's and numerous other bad things. And yet,,, More hope has come out of adult stem cell research than ANY embryonic stem cell research. The ONLY reason there is such a push for embryonic is because it is patentable. The big drug companies (the very companies that are sooo bad at lowering drug prices) are pushing the embryonic so the can patent the cure and make BIG MONEY off the poor Parkinson's (and others) people. The people who are voting and pushing for this to happen are either extremely deluded by the hype OR are on the take from the Big Money Drug companies.
Next time you read a news article, check the fine print and notice he hasd vetoed "Embryonic" stem cell research and NOT adult stem cell research.
BTW: Adult stem cell research has led to many breakthroughs and has help thousands of people where Embryonic stems cells have not produced any clinical successes. Ask yourself WHY the push for something that looks like a dead end? Money!

Yes.. Granholm is trying to recruit some outside factories to come to Michigan. Unfortunately she is cauing more to leave with her wasteful spending and anti small business tactics. She INSISTS on "replacing" the small business tax and therefore burdening the poor small business owner with the taxes we as Michigan citizens already removed. Too many times we vote for lower taxes and more personal responsibility and Democrats apparently think we are stupid and come in and put them right back in place.
Yes, Toyota has some nice paybacks to the cities it occupies, but GUESS WHAT... so would other cities if our small businesses were not taxed so bad. Trickle down man trickle down. Small businesses help the communities, big government only takes away money.
People forget that in a true FREE society, government is only there to protect me and my stuff, not take it away and give it to other people. Michigan is currently stealing money from me to pay for other peoples food , other people housing, other peoples kids rides to school , other peoples college tuition, and on and on. Yes it is a nice thing but it is not really MY responsibility to send someone else's kid to school, or feed them. I work hard to do that for my own kids.
If all you have to worry about is WiFi and cool places to go then I envy you... envy you a lot.
And when has Michigan had a Republican base? If it does why is SHE in charge?
