ACT NOW: Frist may spring a stem cell vote today!!!!!!

ALERT: Vote on HR 810 Today

Dear XXX:

We just got word from the JDRF that Senator Frist may be springing a surprise vote TODAY on HR 810, the single most critical 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.

On behalf of millions of people living with parkinsons, alzheimers, spinal cord injuries, and innumerable other conditions that could potentially be helped by stem cell research, we are begging you:

PLEASE EMAIL YOUR SENATORS TODAY, AND ASK THEM TO VOTE "YES" ON HR 810 -- WITH NO AMENDMENTS:

If you can, call them too:

http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

This vote is being offered as part of a unanimous consent agreement --- meaning even one Senator could potentially block it. We must keep up the pressure -- and we must do it today.

Stay tuned for more. The fight isn't over -- it's just begun.

I won't see this cure my IDD, but it will cure someone and that's all that matters.

3. One or more of these pea-brained Senators will oppose it:

John Cornyn
Jeff Sessions
Tom Coburn
Jim DeMint
Jim Bunning (how ironic)

I'm getting whiplash from trying to keep up with Dr. Jeckyl.

Will call them and bitch for all the good it'll do.
