FW: Remind your Senators: We expect a vote on the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act, HR 810, this Spring!

 

 

 March  2006

 
 


Remind Your Senators
:

Vote YES on H.R. 810,
No Amendments, No Alternatives!


As members of Congress return to Washington and work gets underway, it is time to remind the U.S. Senate that we are expecting a vote on the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act, H.R. 810.  We look to U.S. Senate Majority Leader, Senator Bill Frist, to honor his committment from last year and bring H.R. 810 to the floor for a vote this Spring.

Many Senators, both Republican and Democrat, strongly support this bill in the Senate, and we're confident that

It is the will of over 100 million Americans who suffer from debilitating diseases and their families to see H.R. 810
become law.

H.R. 810 has a great shot at passing.  But, we still have an uphill climb -- opponents of this bill are determined to defeat it.  Their position is in contrast to the vast majority of Americans, who see the phenomenal potential of embryonic stem cells to help millions.


Make 2 Calls Today
to
 Help Pass the
Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act,
H.R. 810

CALL #1: 
Please call your Senators  and ask them to support a vote on H.R. 810 this Spring! 

  • Ask your Senators to Vote YES on H.R. 810 with no amendments, no alternatives.
  • Remind your Senators that H.R. 810 passed the U.S. House of Representatives last Spring with the support of both Democrats and Republicans, and make it clear that you are counting on them to do the same in the Senate.
  • Let them know that this bill will allow stem cell research to move forward and not be held up in the United States. 
  • Again, tell them it is not a partisan issue - this is an issue of seizing the promise and taking advantage of the opportunity to provide cures for millions of Americans.
  • Tell your Senators that now is the time to expand embryonic stem cell research by passing H.R.810!

CALL #2:
Call the office of Senator Bill Frist at 202-224-3344.

  • Thank him for his support of stem cell research and H.R. 810.
  • Remind him that he promised a vote on H.R. 810 this Spring and you are holding him to his committment to do so.
  • Make it clear, a vote for H.R. 810 is the vote for which you and your family will be watching.
  • Let him know that only one bill makes sense for patients, and they are waiting for the Senate to pass H.R.810, with no amendments and no alternatives!


Please forward this email to any friends or family members who care about this issue and whom you think would be interesting in joining the Christopher Reeve Action Network.
