Surgeon General’s Office meets the Salem Witch Hunts

As you’ve probably read by now, Bush has nominated Dr. James Holsinger to be the next Surgeon General. Holsinger’s biggest claim to fame is that he thinks homosexuality is a choice. Why, of course. As we speak, millions of young people who are just reaching puberty are thinking to themselves: “Hmmm, do I want to be gay or straight? Let me weigh the pros and cons. Gay people are constantly being called names, ostracized, threatened, beaten up, and sometimes even disowned by their families. Wow, that sounds neat. That’s my choice — I'm going to be gay.”

On July 12th there will be a Senate hearing on Holsinger’s nomination. If you think the Surgeon General of the United States should NOT be some clueless Biblewipe who thinks homosexuality is a choice — please click here and ask your Senators not to confirm Holsinger. The position of Surgeon General is too important to be filled with yet another unqualified Bush crony.
