We need your help. Please contact Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, and
ask him to veto the Creationism Bill passed by the Legislature this
week, SB 733. Faxes may be best, but telephone calls, snail mail, and
e-mail can also be effective.

Folks who are out of state, we need your help too. Part of the message
the Governor should hear is what a bad image of Louisiana this
legislation will present to the rest of the country.

Contact information to send your message to the Governor, and more
information about SB 733 can be found here:
http://lasciencecoalition.org/ . To see what others are saying, go to
Google News and search –Louisiana evolution–.

Time is very short. The bill could literally be signed at any moment.
The Governor has until July 8, 2008 to sign or to veto. Unless he
affirmatively vetoes by July 8, the bill will become law, with or
without the Governor’s signature.

Please forward this message to all recipients you think appropriate. As

a courtesy, please put all e-mail addresses in the “bcc” field, to
protect others from viruses and spam.

Thank you for your help.

I remember in my 9th grade Biology class we were told that we had to skip the chapter on Darwinian evolution, but we could be told by our teacher that there was some interesting stuff in that chapter. I’m pretty sure we talked about the Lamarkian evolutionary theory in class, though.
