(got this from researchamerica.org) House to Vote on Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act January 11 Contact Congress Immediately The House of Representatives is expected to vote on the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act (H.R. 3/S.5) on January 11. It is critical for you to contact your Representative now and urge him or her to vote YES on H.R. 3, the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act. Take action! Reps. Diana DeGette (CO) and Mike Castle (DE) and Sens. Tom Harkin (IA) and Arlen Specter (PA) are reintroducing the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act with the bill numbers of H.R. 3 in the House and S. 5 in the Senate. The Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005 (H.R. 810) passed with strong bipartisan majorities in the House and Senate, but President Bush used his first and only veto when the bill reached his desk in July 2006. The House was 51 votes short when they tried to override the veto. Our goal is to secure veto-proof votes in the House and Senate. Please contact your Representative and Senators now.
