---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research www.camradvocacy.org Dear CAMR Members, A vote is scheduled this week in the U.S. House of Representatives on S. 5, the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act! Debate on the bill will begin on June 6th and the vote is expected on that day or on June 7th. CAMR has been working closely with House leadership since the passage of the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act (S. 5) in the Senate on April 11, 2007. As you know, S.5 is slightly different than the bill passed by the House in January (H.R. 3) and requires approval by the House before it can be sent to the President. We need your help to ensure that this bill passes the House by a strong majority. There may be one obstacle in our path to success. Those who oppose the bill may attempt to use a procedural measure called a “motion to recommit” to send the bill back to committee in the House and prevent it from passing. CAMR will view any motion to recommit as an attempt to block the bill. Now is the time for you and all of your family and friends to begin calling your representatives. Your message is simply this: “I urge you to support and vote in favor of S.5, the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act. Please vote against any motions to recommit or other efforts to block this bill.” Call the Capitol switchboard at (202)-224-3121 and ask to be connected to your representative. Sincerely, Sean Tipton, CAMR President www.camradvocacy.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
