I've been on vacation and returned Thurs. The next day my husband was hospitalized. Happy to say he was released yesterday. In probably a last ditch effort I called NBC News to suggest Tom Brokaw raise the issue of stem cell research. The person I spoke with promised me she would see that this would be discussed.The number is 212-664-4444.Mentioned that this important issue had not been really discussed by the candidates. Perhaps others would like to call. I'm going to try and reach CNN also. E-mail is probably too late.,as you don't know when they are read. Lorraine Jeffe
