I will second that motion. Let's use our God given resources to end the suffering. Those with
greed stand aside and let the human spirit prevail. Vote for those in favor of moving forward.

I was diagnosed with PD in March 1995 at the age of 46. I have been a member of
the listserv since 1997, but have not posted anything in many years. Below is a
Letter to the Editor I had published in today's edition of the Rochester
Democrat and Chronicle.
Overturn modern Sabbath law
It was unlawful for Jesus to perform healing on the Sabbath due to the law of
that time that was enacted in God's name to maintain order and privilege.
Modern healers are prevented from doing their duties to the fullest extent
because they don't have all the needed tools. Scientists can't provide
them with these tools due to a modern-day version of the Sabbath law that was
declared in God's name It is the federal restriction on funding for
embryonic stem cell research declared by President Bush in 2001.
As Jesus grieved at the hardness of heart of the Pharisees (Mark 3:5), we who
suffer from incurable diseases grieve at the hardness of heart of the members of
Congress who twice failed to override a presidential veto of a bill that would
have restored funding. In the upcoming election, we must support congressional
candidates who are in favor of ending the federal restrictions. In the
presidential race, Sen. John McCain has vacillated on this issue. Sen. Barack
Obama has consistently supported ending the federal restriction on funding. He
is the only choice for president.
