From Americans for Cures Foundation
Please make one phone call, to protect Texas stem cell research-- it doesn't matter where you live.
Texas has the possibility of funding genuinely vast amounts of research, with a budgeted three billion dollars for cancer alone. We dare not lose the enormous contributions of this vital state.
What to do? First, if you live in Texas : Click on this link http://www.americansforcuresfoundation.org/lists/lt.php?id=cUVXVAEEUQEZDQIYCwIFVFs= and enter your home address under "who represents me" to find your senator's phone number.
CALL OR FAX YOUR STATE SENATOR WITH THIS MESSAGE:
"Stem cell research is important to me, to my family, and to millions of Texans; it is unacceptable for the Texas Legislature to pass any bill or rider which restricts embryonic stem cell research done under National Academy of Science ethical guidelines. I want Senator _____________ to make sure that neither SB 1's prohibitive rider nor SB 1695 become part of Texas law."
Don't live in Texas? Call anyway: here is the key person we want to reach, David Dewhurst, President of the Senate and Lt. Governor:
512 463-0001
Tell him (or whoever answers) that you oppose the anti-embryonic stem cell research rider on the Texas budget this year. Tell him that you oppose SB 1695.
The problem? Senator Steve Ogden (R-Bryan) inserted a provision banning state funds for any form of embryonic stem cell research-- into the Texas budget (SB 1).
Senator Ogden's accompanying bill, SB 1695, would "...end all embryonic stem cell research...in any of the laboratories of our state. Even private institutions like Baylor College of Medicine would be affected because they receive state funding".-- Dr. Ralph Dittman, of Texans for the Advancement of Medical Research (TAMR).
STAND TALL FOR TEXAS TODAY--HELP PROTECT STEM CELL RESEA RCH!
Thanks so much,
