Time's Up - Hold a Vote on Stem Cell Research!
Target: Senator Bill Frist, Senate Majority LeaderSponsored by: Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee
On May 24th 2005, a bipartisan majority of the House took an important step to helping extend or save the lives of millions of Americans by passing H.R. 810, the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act. Leading the Democrats on this bill is Diana DeGette from Colorado's 1st district. Rep. DeGette began working to expand federal support for stem cell research in 2001, before President Bush imposed strict limitations on stem cell lines eligible for funding.
It's now been one year - ONE YEAR - since Senate Republican Leader Bill Frist said he had changed his mind and would support expanding stem cell research beyond President Bush's stifling limitations. That was a moment when millions of Americans suffering from Parkinson's and Alzheimer's Disease, spinal cord injury, diabetes, and other tragic illnesses found renewed hope for a cure - if not for them, for generations to come.
All Senator Frist had to do was schedule a vote on expanding stem cell research. Nobody demanded that he do anything more. One simple vote on the bill that had already passed easily through the House, and it would be placed on President Bush's desk to test his veto threat.
Senator Frist may think that we've forgotten his promise - we need to make clear that we have not. The radical right wing cannot be allowed to trump the will of the vast majority of Americans again. This is far too important.
Tell Senator Frist: Time's Up, Hold the Vote on Stem Cell Research!

There is an old saying that you are either part of the problem or part of the solution. I pray that you will become part of the solution to advancements in our health care by voting for federal support of stem cell research. This is another opportunity for you to be a leader in a technological advancement that will aid American business economically while aiding humanity as a whole. A win win solution.

It's time to vote!! And it's time to vote to support your constituents' wishes. Stem cell research could help many, many people. If you were in that situation, you would want stem cell research. Think about the people who need and could benefit from this research and vote yes! NOW!

Stem Cell Research is necessary to save lives. The time has long past when this matter should be decided taken care. The United States needs to be apart of this important research field.

Stem cell research is needed in order to cure many diseases that plague us today. It has nothing to do with killing embryos and using embryos is only a small portion of stem cell research. Please vote on this, and pass stem cell research, so everyone can benefit!

My mother was a victim of Parkinson's...and she was also a victim of her own right wing religious and political views. Stem cell research might have saved her or prolonged her life, but she and my father had been sold a bill of goods by their church and religious associations, that stem cell research was the same as abortion. Nothing could be further from the truth, and nothing could be more beneficial and hopeful than the progress that is being made in other countries...and that was being made in this country until bias and prejudice overruled our good sense and good science. We are way behind now and we need to catch up...and if you can't understand any other reason, then how about a profit motive? The countries where this research is ongoing are going to reap a monetary reward that we won't when the breakthrough comes. But the real rewards will be in lives saved and diseases cured...and an increased health and quality of life for us all. We must resume this essential research in an uninhibited way immediately!
