During the debate today on a constitutional amendment re same-sex marriage Sen. Harry Reid pointed out that there are so many important issues which the majority leader is NOT allowing to be addressed by the senate, particularly stem cell research. Sen Frist responded by saying he's working on a compromise. This may be the compromise proposed by Sen Rick Santorum who opposes ESCR and to which Sen Arlen Spector said he would go with, if HR 810 is not acceptable, even though he prefers HR 810. The Santorum compromise which was reported in the Philadelphia Inquirer during the past 2 weeks is a smoke screen and not what the Parkinson community is looking for. Please phone Senators Frist and Spector and tell them no delays, no amendments - Bring HR 810 to the senate for a yes or no vote. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
