I have told these offending senators staff people that it really hurts to have PD and hear them say it is being cured by ASCs. How disgusting! They have no shame.

Forwarded from PAN Pro-Patient Calls Needed! Senate Debates H.R. 810 TODAY Take Action! Last chance to call your Senators As you know, H.R. 810, the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act, is being considered on the Senate floor starting today, July 17 and will continue until the vote is held on Tuesday, July 18. Between now and the time of the vote, we need your help! Regardless of where you live and even if you have contacted your Senators previously, please call your senators and ask them to vote in favor of H.R. 810. Keep the Senate phones ringing with pro- patient messages and ask that your Senators vote YES on H.R. 810. We need the strongest Senate vote possible to send a clear message to the White House that the majority of Americans support medical research and this important legislation. Already during the debate, several senators have stated that adult stem cells have cured Parkinson's disease. This is absolutely false. If there were a therapy to halt the progression of this unrelenting disease, the millions of Parkinson's patients, caregivers and their physicians would be pursuing that treatment right now. Sadly, the facts show that we have NOT found a cure, or adequate treatments for Parkinson's, using adult stem cells or otherwise. H.R. 810 Debate Schedule: Monday, July 17: The Senate debate will continue until 9 p.m. (Eastern Time) Tuesday, July 18: Debate from 10 a.m. until 3:45 (with an hour break for lunch around noon.)Immediately following debate, the Senate will vote on the 3 bills in the package individually, with the last vote being H.R. 810. H.R. 810 vote is expected at approximately 5:15 p.m. Call your senators and tell them that H.R. 810 is the ONLY pro- patient bill that offers hope to millions of Americans, including people fighting Parkinson's disease and their families.
