FWD. FROM PAN: From: "Laura Jane Cohen" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 18 May 2004 16:52:33 -0400 Subject: Senate Stem Cell Action-new targets! Here is an update with new signers and targeted Senators. See if your Senator is one of them! Urgent Stem Cell Action Alert! Call/E-mail/Fax your Senators ASAP! Ask your Senators to sign on to the Specter-Harkin Stem Cell Letter 52 down, 48 to go! Action Needed: Please call/e-mail/fax your Senators ASAP requesting that they sign on to the Dear Colleague letter being circulated by Senators Arlen Specter (R-PA) and Tom Harkin (D-IA) asking the President to relax restrictions on stem cell research. This letter is similar to the Castle-DeGette-Cunningham-Dooley Dear Colleague letter in the House, which garnered 206 signatures. We can’t let up now even though your hard work has already resulted in more than half the Senate, 52 Senators, signing the letter!
