----- Original Message ----- From: <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 9:53 PM Subject: Stem Cell Research Needs Your Vote On November 5th Senate Candidates Who Strongly Support Stem Cell Research Need Your Help! To those of us who suffer from illnesses such as juvenile diabetes, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, spinal cord injury, and to our families and friends, Each of the following candidates for the U.S. Senate: Senator Jean Carnahan in Missouri Senator Tom Harkin in Iowa Senator Tim Johnson in South Dakota Governor Jeanne Shaheen in New Hampshire strongly supports humane embryonic stem cell research, which has the potential to save millions of lives. Their opponents in these close Senatorial races oppose this research, and favor the imposition of criminal punishments upon scientists and patients who seek cures for these illnesses that affect our loved ones or ourselves. Jean Carnahan, Tom Harkin, Tim Johnson, and Jeanne Shaheen advocate that embryonic stem cell research be allowed to proceed under vigilant ethical safeguards. If their four Senate seats are lost in November, we may also lose the slim Senate majority that has advanced the cause of embryonic stem cell research. Without the votes on November 5th of all those who care and depend on the hope of this research, we may wake up on November 6th to see scientific progress in our country halted or even rolled back. We all need to get the word out that these four candidates will be effective advocates in the U.S. Senate on behalf of patients and their families. Please inform everyone you know who lives in Missouri, Iowa, South Dakota, or New Hampshire that voting for these candidates will help to protect and advance humane, life-saving biomedical research.
