URGENT! IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED!

CALL THE WHITE HOUSE IMMEDIATELY; Presidential Decision on Stem Cell
Research Expected AS EARLY AS FRIDAY AFTERNOON!

The Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research (CAMR) has learned
that the Bush Administration may announce as early as Friday, June 8 or
Monday, June 11 a decision on whether federal funding will be available
for research on stem cells that are derived from fertilized eggs.  We do
not know what the details of this announcement may be, but we believe
that the decision may be negative.

Many of you have already called the White House on this issue, but we
need you to take action again.  We need EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU to call
the White House AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to register your support for research
on stem cells that come from fertilized eggs.

Following are talking points for your calls:

1.      Call the White House Office of Public Liaison at 202-456-2380.
2.      Explain (or leave a message) that you support research involving stem
cells that are derived from fertilized eggs.
3.      State that you have learned that President Bush is considering banning
this research and that you want to urge him to support it because it
could be critical to curing diseases and conditions like Parkinson's,
Alzheimer's, spinal cord injury, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, ALS,
and many others.
4.      Explain that 70-percent of all Americans support this research,
including a majority of Catholics, Fundamentalist Christians, and
pro-life individuals.
5.      Be sure to leave your name and address.

PLEASE TAKE ACTION AND MAKE THIS PHONE CALL.  WE NEED TO DO EVERYTHING
POSSIBLE TO EXPLAIN TO THE PRESIDENT WHY IT IS SO CRITICAL THAT THIS
RESEARCH MOVE FORWARD.

Thanks for your immediate help on this very important matter, and please
forward this message to your friends and loved ones.
