I realized that Murray posted on this but this just came in my box today as you can see.. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Bell [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 11:53 AM To: Bill Bell, Executive Director Subject: URGENT: WASHINGTON STATE STEM CELL LEGISLATION - A CALL TO ACTION (My apologies to those outside of Washington State that receive this message) Greetings This evening there will be a Public Hearing concerning the future of stem cell research here in Washington State. As you may know, both New Jersey and California have both passed legislation that allows, supports and promotes cutting edge stem cell research in their respective states. Stem cell research could hold the key to the cure for Parkinson's and many other diseases. We have the opportunity to attract the top researchers in this field and open the door to a timely and needed cure for Parkinson's. I need you to put your weight behind the push for this legislation. Copies of the proposed bills are listed below as well the email and phone numbers for the legislators that represent you. Please take a moment and call your representative and let them know how important this line of research is to you. It would also help to forward this message on to everyone you can. The more the better. For those that are able, please consider attending the meeting this evening at 6:00PM and let your opinions be heard. Here's a chance to make a difference in our future. Thank you in advance for all your help Bill www.hopeforparkinsons.org <http://www.hopeforparkinson's.org/> ____________________________ Bill Bell Executive Director Northwest Parkinson's Foundation 1-877-980-7500 <mailto:[log in to unmask]> [log in to unmask], <http://www.nwpf.org/> www.nwpf.org <http://www.parkinsonseducator.org/> www.parkinsonseducator.org HELP IS NEEDED NOW IN WASHINGTON STATE TO SUPPORT STEM CELL LEGISLATION Wednesday, 1/21/04 The Health Care Committee will hold a Public Hearing for the following two bills: 1.
