Thanks to Lorraine Jeffe and Marjorie Moorefield working together, we were able to get the article by Hearst Columnist Marjorie Means into PIED. I think it's so important that I'm putting it out to my mailing list of political activists and also to my friends and relatives. (Wish I could write as good as she does.) If you get the article twice, my apologies. If you are not on my politically active list of PWP (& caregivers) and want to get on it, drop me a line. [log in to unmask] P.S. If you missed the article and want a copy -- I'll gladly send you one. PPS The Presidential Candidate's stated position on stem cell research is Gore=For Bush=Against. If you are against stem cell research, by all means vote for Bush. Just how important to you is the most promising tool to come on the horizon for us and millions of other suffering citizens of presently incurable ailments? Your vote counts. (If you don't vote -- that counts too!) Sid
