>Sean Tipton, president, Coalition for the Advancement of Medical
>Research:
>
>"Michael J. Fox has appeared in political ads in support of
>candidates who are in favor of embryonic stem cell research and the
>promise it holds for the millions of American patients with
>Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, cancer, diabetes, spinal cord injuries, and
>other diseases and disorders. Those of us in the medical and
>scientific community who work in this field, as well as those who are
>afflicted with diseases and disorders that stem cell research can
>have an impact on, are grateful for Michael's generous offer to be
>the voice for the millions whose voices go unheard.
>
>"For Rush Limbaugh to claim that Michael was exaggerating his
>symptoms, or "acting," during the taping of the video for sympathy is
>appalling and, quite frankly, a desperate political cry for help.
>Unfortunately, this callous disregard for millions of patients and
>their families is characteristic of opponents of stem cell research.
>As Americans, we must pull together and support those who are
>suffering, and find ways to offer hope for better treatments and
>cures. Politically motivated, uneducated and medically inaccurate
>comments like Mr. Limbaugh's only serve to tear at the very fabric of
>what this nation was founded upon. We at CAMR, along with the rest of
>America, await a national public apology from Mr. Limbaugh, and hope
>that voters will let their voices be heard on this issue in November."
>
>The Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research (CAMR) is the
>nation's leading pro-cures coalition. It is comprised of nationally-
>recognized patient organizations, universities, scientific societies,
>and foundations advocating for the advancement of breakthrough
>research and technologies in regenerative medicine - including stem
>cell research and somatic cell nuclear transfer - in order to cure
>disease and alleviate suffering for individuals with life-threatening
>illnesses and disorders.
