Just delivered to 25,000 Coloradoans:We are on the brink of history. Will you help?
More than one year ago, the House of Representatives passed the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act (H.R. 810). This bill would override President Bush's 2001 decision to limit federal funding of embryonic stem cell research and take the first step toward providing potential cures for many debilitating diseases including Parkinson's and diabetes. As author of the legislation and the mother or a diabetic daughter, the passage of H.R. 810 was one of my proudest moments.
The U.S. Senate is poised to pass this landmark legislation this week and send it to the President's desk for his signature. Unfortunately, despite the support of 72% of Americans and overwhelming bipartisan support in Congress, President Bush is threatening to use the first veto of his presidency on this life saving research.
Please click on the petition below and urge President Bush to reconsider his veto threat:
http://progressnowaction.org/stemcellsupportOn Friday, the President is coming to Denver for a fundraiser for Rick O'Donnell, the right wing candidate running for the open seat in the seventh district. O'Donnell is opposed to embryonic stem cell research and out of touch with mainstream Colorado. I will confront President Bush on Friday with your petition and show him that we care about this life saving research and that he should too.
Thank you. With your continued support we will expand this ground breaking research.
Sincerely,
Rep. Diana DeGette
