Email Address: none 70 Congressmen wrote letters to Secy of Health & Human Services Donna Shalala protesting funding of stem cell research on the basis of "ethics." These same congressmen vote to fund military research (that kills & maims) (without ethical" qualms) but they have "ethical" problems with funding research to help the sick & suffering! Is your congresman 1 of the 70? Nationaal Institutes of Health Director Harold Varmus stated, "stem cell research has the potential of revolutionizing the practice of medicine." ALL AMERICANS HAVE A STAKE IN THIS RESEARCH! STEM CELL RESEARCH HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR CURING PARKINSON'S DISEASE. CAN WE AFFORD TO MISS THIS CHANCE FOR A CURE? U.S. congressmen & senators are paid with our tax dollars -- they work for us! Their shortsightedness not only costs America in caring for disabled Parkinsons patients but consider the cost in human suffering! CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND LET THEM KNOW YOU WANT YOUR TAX DOLLARS TO BE SPENT ON STEM CELL RESEARCH!
