HR 810

i never would have thought these words would come from my fingers BUT: Go Arlen!!!

"Senator Arlen Specter, Republican of Pennsylvania and the chief backer of the Senate bill, said that if the bill did not come up for a vote, he would attach it to a measure appropriating money to the National Institutes of Health, a measure whose fate he controls because he is chairman of the subcommittee that governs the institutes' spending."

how incredibly infuriating it is to see something that has widespread bipartisan support and that could save so very many lives get bogged down in the Fire Swamp that is Bush's agenda. please take this opportunity to write your senators again and encourage them to remain united against this ridiculous attempt to undermine stem cell research.

and hey! any of you in Tennessee, make sure you do your part to flood Frist's office (SEE BELOW) with complaints. granted, it is unlikely to have any effect as this is the same 'doctor' that refuted all scientific analysis of Schiavo's true condition before recanting after her necropsy. if nothing else, you can be a small thorn in his shoe.
