Dear CAMR Friends, Below is an email alert sent to CAMR members in Georgia. Please share this call to action with your Georgia contacts. Thank you, Kim Love CAMR Legislative Consultant Dear Friends of Stem Cell Research, We have learned that a bill just passed a committee in the Georgia State Senate that contains scientifically inaccurate claims that could hinder the progress of embryonic stem cell research in that state. The bill is called the Saving the Cure Act (SB 148). The bill's purpose is to promote cord blood research in Georgia, but the preamble section of the bill, also called the "findings," suggests that embryonic stem cell research is failing to lead to cures and can even lead to cancer in patients. While the findings section does not carry the full weight of the law, these false claims are serious enough for CAMR to oppose the legislation unless and until those findings are changed. Any effort to disseminate negative and incorrect information about embryonic stem cell research throws unnecessary obstacles in the path of progress and research. Please contact your Georgia legislators to oppose the Saving the Cure Act (SB 148). They need to hear from you immediately. Your message should be: "I am calling to urge you to oppose SB 148, the Saving the Cure Act and ask that you vote against this legislation." Sincerely, Sean Tipton CAMR President www.camradvocacy.org _______________________________________________ CAMR.friends mailing list ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
