Now Here This...Support HR 810 and Stem Cell Research

In an effort to help get the word out about important stem cell research legislation (HR 810), I bring you the following, which comes from John Hlinko, a friend of my dear friend Chris Abraham. Please read the following, spread the word, and GET INVOLVED!!

Here's the pitch... in the next two weeks (possibly as early as Tuesday), the Senate will be voting on whether to approve HR 810, in support of stem cell research (what passed in the House). If it doesn't pass (or is amended with poison pills), we will lose at least another year on the stem cell front. If it passes, it goes to the President. If he signs it, great! But even if he vetoes it, at least we have the chance to massively increase voter awareness and anger -- and channel it accordingly bottom line -- we need to do whatever we can to turn out emails, calls, faxes, and visits to the Senate in the next two weeks. StemPAC.com is already highest trafficked site in support of stem cell research (according to Alexa). But we are still nowhere near sites like, "Focus on the Family," which last week urged its members to come out against HR 810. For this reason, over the next two weeks, we will be putting ALL of our money into blog ads, list buys, and whatever else we can do to channel as much grassroots firepower as possible. We don't have time for viral passaround -- this needs to be pushed big time, and pushed now. So... we need as much help as possible, and we need it now:1) If you can make a donation, do it right now, at http://www.stempac.com/donate/ We are spending money out of our own pockets, but we're not rich -- we need help;2) Tell as many friends, family, friends of family, etc., to go to http://www.StemPAC.com/ and send a letter to the Senate3) Go back to 1 -- lather, rinse, repeat.We can win this! OR we can get our butts kicked, big time. It's up to YOU.
