Here we go again!

The House of Representatives passed H.R. 3 (Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act) by a wide margin, but unfortunately, it will not be enough to override our misguided President’s likely veto. Follow this link to see the vote breakdown:

Please pay particular attention to your Representative who did not vote to relieve your suffering. The vote breakdown list also contains email addresses for every Congress-Person. If you want to ensure a wider margin when this bill comes up again—you should let your feelings be known to those lawmakers who wore their personal religious beliefs on their sleeves instead of funding research, which could one day cure a list of maladies affecting every interest group in this country. Of additional interest, you should know there were lawmakers voting yesterday who were also members of the clergy who favored additional funding. They came to Washington to represent a greater interest than the Religious Right—The General Welfare of the United States of America.
