Is somebody going to let us know what the new bill bill number is going to
become? If so, I will start contacting my Representative and Senators.

Dear CAMR Members:
First, let me wish you and your family a joyful holiday season and a Happy
New Year. Now is the time to look back on the incredible progress that has been
made and ready ourselves for important stem cell work in 2007. We all will need
to roll up our sleeves in January and get right to work because we have a lot
to accomplish in a very short timeframe next year.
In January, the 110th Congress will be sworn into office. The Stem Cell
Research Enhancement Act (what we knew as HR 810 for the past two years) will
be reintroduced by our Congressional champions in January with identical
language and a new bill number.
Getting this bipartisan bill passed and enacted has been identified as a top
priority by the new leadership in both the Senate and the House of
Representatives. A vote on the bill is expected in both chambers in January.
That means we need to reach out to everyone we can as soon as possible.
Now is the time for you to use your local contacts and reach out to your new
Representatives and Senators before they are even sworn in. Before they come to
Washington, DC they need to know that you expect them to vote in favor of the
Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act. You will need to be creative, as these new
Members might be difficult to locate before January. Perhaps they will be
attending local events in your community or opening up a district office. Use
every resource you can think of to track them down.
You should also use this time to contact returning Representatives and
Senators who may have voted no in the past to convince them now is the time to
vote in favor of federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.
The message for all Members of Congress is this:
"Now is the time to pass and enact meaningful stem cell legislation! The Stem
Cell Research Enhancement Act will be one of the first bills presented to you
for a vote in the 110th Congress and I urge you to vote yes."
You will hear from us as soon as the bill is reintroduced and we will be
asking for a huge push in early January to get the word out on the Stem Cell
Research Enhancement Act before the votes.
Thank you,
Sean Tipton
President
