Re: Michael J Fox Fdn - message about stem cell research

["Marjorie L. Moorefield" <minx32@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mike,
Thanks for this GREAT news on such a bad day!!!
I thought Connie Mack was with us, as I said in one
email, but I couldn't prove it, because as a librarian
I have to have proof!!
I'll send him an email this time and thank him for
his support!!

You are in a position to know, is there anyway we can get
these 14 amendments rescinded?

Rest assured, I become discouraged sometimes, but I'm
through licking my wounds now, and about ready to come out
fighting again!!

just me,
Marjorie
