In late May, the House of Representatives voted 238-194 in bipartisan support of the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005, a bill that would revoke restrictions placed on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research by President Bush in 2001. A companion bill, S. 471, was introduced in the Senate by Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA). President Bush has vowed to veto the bill. Embryonic stem cell research could alleviate pain and suffering for the millions of people who struggle with spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, Alzeimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and other illnesses. Contact your senators and urge them to support the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2005.
