Dear Ray et al,
I agree that funding is important but I also want to bring up the point of
criminalization of valid medical research. As reported in USA Today "Since
Jan. 1, legislators in 22 states and both houses of Congress have introduced
at least 48 measures aimed at banning or otherwise regulating the cloning of
human embryos to produce children or to advance research."
So this is to let any Texans who may have missed our Call To Action an
opportunity to make a difference. Just drop me an e-mail and I'll get right
back to you with all the details.
Thank you,
Terry Bowers
