This is a follow-up to my diary yesterday entitled, Embryo farming?" It's called STEM CELL RESEARCH.

Yesterday there was also a great diary from Hlinko asking, Why are Progressives AWOL on Stem Cells?

It's time to make a difference. It's time to let the Senate know that we support HR 810, the single most important piece of stem cell legislation before Congress.

This is the one that would rescind President Bush's draconian restrictions on stem cell research. This is the one that has (miraculously) already passed the House. If it is passed in the Senate, it either will become law -- or force President Bush to issue his first veto.

Here's a video on the bill and some more info from StemPAC.com. (The transcript of the video is below the fold, as well as links to call your Senator to urge their support...

This is hope for millions of Americans who suffer from terrible diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, ALS and cancer.
It's called Stem Cell Research and it may be the most promising medical breakthrough of our lifetimes.
So why is Senator Bill Frist holding up a bipartisan stem cell research bill?
Why is he preventing us from being the world leader in stem cell research?
Every day, we're outsourcing stem cell jobs to nations like China and South Korea. Every day our best and brightest scientists are fleeing overseas to conduct their research. Worst of all, we're slowing the race for cures.
Visit StemPac.com and tell Senator Frist to support HR 810. Tell him we don't support outsourcing American jobs and exporting our leading scientists.
Support stem cell research and the promise it holds for millions of suffering people.

You can make a difference. Call your Senator (hell, call Sen. Frist) and urge them to support HR 810. It's easy:

Visit this page.
Look up your Senator's phone number, fax, and/or email address.
Contact them today, and tell them this: "I strongly urge you to support HR 810 and support the funding of stem cell research."

It's that simple. Please do it NOW, before you get another email, or read another post, or get another cup of coffee.

Please do it NOW, before it's too late and we lose this crucial vote in the Senate.

Please support stem cell research and the promise it holds for millions of suffering people.

Thanks.
