Stem Cell Legislation Alert

From the Center for Inquiry:

Greetings,

The House Majority Leader, Congressman Steny Hoyer, has scheduled a vote for January 11 on the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act. Reps. Diana DeGette (CO) and Mike Castle (DE) are reintroducing the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act (#H.R. 3) in the House, and Sens. Tom Harkin (IA) and Arlen Specter (PA) are bringing it to the Senate (#S. 5.). The bill is the same bill that President Bush vetoed last year.

Please contact your representative immediately and urge her or him to vote YES on H.R. 3, the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act. If you live in a district with a new representative, it would be extremely helpful for you to call the office directly and tell the staff how important it is for the representative to vote YES. We recommend you call their Washington offices as soon as possible.

Unless you're one of those deluded 'save the blatocysts' types who believes that a cluster of several cells that was going to end up in the garbage anyway (why aren't they protesting the disposal?) has a soul, it would be a good idea to let your legislators know the importance of passing this legislation. You can take action here.
