Janet, I have in fact signed and encouraged many of my friends and relatives to sign. I just think the Bush Administration has its mind made up already. All we hear from those connected to him is that there are adult sources of stem cell tissue. That is what worries me. Thirteen thousand won't change their mind. We need to make a public statement that puts pressure on the administration to follow through with embryonic stem cell research. I was just throwing out an idea to not only suggest something that might do a better job of informing the public, but also may stir some other ideas other than letter writing. Letters are only successful in huge numbers. Please don't throw this idea away without consideration. I have emailed MJ Fox to see if he can organize or thinks it is worthy of organizing. I will follow through with writing to the organization Linda supplied information on. I hope we can do it. I can't think of a better way to bond different organizations through the same effort at doing and calling for the right thing. Your cyberbro, Gregory E.
