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 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.

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