There is now legislation in both the House and the Senate in support of
stem cell research funding. A summary and the co-sponsors of both are
below. If your rep. and Senator are not listed -- it's time to contact
them. Phone calls and snail mail letters seem to have more impact than
emails.
New Yorkers -- Sen. Clinton is a already co-sponsor of the Senate bill.
We should ask Sen. Schumer to cosponsor as well.
