X-Message-Number: 24430 Date: Sun, 25 Jul 2004 00:16:13 -0400 From: "Kevin Q. Brown" <> Subject: Fundraising for Political Support of Cryonics in Arizona [ I am forwarding the following announcement since it is timely and hasn't yet made it to CryoNet. - Kevin Q. Brown ] Support Cryonics Rights! In early 2004 cryonicists in Arizona narrowly averted hasty legislation harmful to cryonics: http://www.alcor.org/Library/html/legislation.html Positive changes to the bill, and the eventual realization that withdrawal of the bill would be best for all concerned, only happened because certain Arizona legislators were able to see through hostile rhetoric and allegations against cryonics. They were able to see cryonics as a matter of personal choice, and that the nature and scope of the proposed cryonics legislation was not justified. The hundreds of letters legislators received from people inside and outside Arizona helped demonstrate that cryonics has a real constituency. In an election year, supporting candidates responsive to your concerns is an even more effective demonstration of the political clout of cryonicists. A list of candidates who took the time to listen and respond to the concerns of cryonicists is at: http://www.merkle.com/cryo/contributions.html Please financially support these candidates who support individuals' rights to make their own decisions about their own lives, including cryonics. They can accept contributions from citizens residing anywhere in the U.S. Please choose one or more of these candidates, particularly ones in tight races, and make your support known. For the cost of your Internet access (or less), you can make a difference in what kind of legislative precedent Arizona may set for cryonics during the next session for years to come.
