CALL, WRITE, E-MAIL, WATER COOLER, please...--Stem Cell funding bill in Senate

[blondeatlast]

From StemPAC:

Does Your Senator Think You're a Moron?

Dear (blondeatlast) :

More than 5 long years into President Bush's short-sighted, cruel policy restricting stem cell research, America once again has the chance to reverse it -- and strike a blow for hope.

Several weeks ago, the House of Representatives passed a bill to overturn President Bush's restrictions. The Senate is expected to vote on this bill, Senate Bill 5, this week.

Write your Senators now, and tell them to support Senate Bill 5

Although stem cell research has bipartisan support, "pro-death" activists are working hard to torpedo this bill, and take hope away from millions of Americans. Some Senators have even put up another bill, S 30, called the "The Hope Offered through Principled, Ethically-Sound Stem Cell Research Act." The problem is -- it actually imposes additional restrictions on stem cell research. In short, it's a crock. But some senators apparently think their constituents are so stupid that they'll fall for a warm fuzzy title. In short, they think you're a moron.

Senate Bill 5 is the real deal. Senate Bill 5 is the stem cell bill supported by doctors, researchers, and patient advocates across the nation. Please write your Senators today. Tell them to support Senate Bill 5. And tell them -- you are not a moron.

Write your Senators now, and tell them to support Senate Bill 5

Keep fighting -- the lives of millions of Americans depend on it.

The StemPAC Team

I want to see at least one deadly, debilitating disease overcome in my lifetime. I have insulin dependent diabetes, but if it's something else, I don't care.

From the millions of us who cling to hope each and every day, thank you, DUers.

1. My ReThug Senator knows

I think he's a moron. I've told him so (John Cornyn, R-TX) on at least one occasion using this handy little a capella animation (turn up your speakers). I'll have to check to see if he's evolved enough yet to support Senate Bill 5. I really doubt it.

2. My Sens are McCain and Kyl. I know it's useless, but on some matters they need to know

that we are paying attention and this is one of those matters.

3. All I can say to the idiots that vote against this is

that when they or their loved one needs a treatment that involves stem cells that they won't be able to get it.

And leave the rest of us alone!!
