[Guest guest]

Dear Group Members:

The following article from the NY Times underscores the vital need for

government funding of embryonic stem cell research. Please send this article to

your representatives requesting support for this vital research.

If they oppose this funding, vote them out!

It's a matter of life and death for so many of us!

Best regards,

Carl
