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.
