Actor Fox Films Campaign Ad for Kerry

LIZ SIDOTI

Associated Press

NEW YORK - Actor Michael J. Fox is returning to TV - in a commercial praising Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry for his stance on stem cell research.

"John Kerry strongly supports stem cell research. George Bush is putting limits on it," Fox says in an ad Kerry's campaign unveiled Thursday. "Stem cell research can help millions of Americans whose lives have been touched by devastating illnesses. George Bush says we can wait. I say lives are at stake and it's time for leadership. That's why I support John Kerry for president."

The campaign said the ad would run in local media markets in states considered battlegrounds.

Fox, who has Parkinson's disease, campaigned with Kerry in New Hampshire on Monday and filmed the ad after the event.

The Bush campaign called the ad false. "George Bush is the first president to allow for the federal funding of embryonic stem cell research and has provided hundreds of millions of federal dollars for stem cell research," said Brian Jones, a Bush spokesman.

WATCH AD HERE

When will Kerry wipe the floor with Bush on this issue? He's started, but the death-blow must be on the way...

OF COURSE Bush is the first president to allow for federal funding of stem cell research, HE'S THE ONLY PRESIDENT TO PRESIDE OVER THE ISSUE!!!

I mean, what do those bush campaign idiots think, if Gore were in office Stem Cell Reasearch wouldn't have been funded? Come on.

I like Foxs line. He said it's like Bush gave them a car, with no gas, and then congratulates himself for giving them the car.

1. This is HUGE
Michael J. Fox is loved by MILLIONS. I'd say he carries even more clout than Ron Reagan, Jr.
