Thanks Linda for the important legislative information on stem cell research.I don't have a copy of the congressional bill.I assume it is similar to S723.Right now,of course, is Spring break,so letters would probably be best now.I'll do both------call later. Being from Michigan I wonder why Fred Upton isn't on the list?Does anyone know will try and find an answer. This legislation could prove to be really important,so I hope we will really be heard.
