Forwarded from PAN: VICTORY in the Senate! Call the WHITE HOUSE NOW!! H.R. 810, the Stem Cell Research Act, was passed by a strong bipartisan vote of 63-37 in the Senate today. All of your hard work has been recognized by the majority of our senators. This is a great move forward in this crucial research. Unfortunately, our work is not done. President Bush has recently released a statement reaffirming his stance on vetoing the bill. If a veto happens, we anticipate it happening Wednesday afternoon. Between now and tomorrow afternoon, we must send a clear signal to the president that a veto against this bill is a veto against the potential of finding a life-saving cure for Parkinson’s and other diseases. We need your help! Please call the White House and ask that the president reconsider his position on stem cell research. (202-456- 1414). Mr. President, As a [Parkinson’s patient/caregiver/family member] I strongly support the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act (H.R. 810) and ask that you sign the bill into law. A veto against H.R. 810 is a veto against the possibility of finding a cure for the more than one million patients living with Parkinson’s disease. I urge you to re-think your position and sign the bill into law. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
