A Year is Too Long; contact Sen. Majority Leader Frist for a Vote on H.R.810

Thousands of you took action when we contacted you last week about the "unhappy anniversary" of the passage of H.R.810, the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act, in the House of Representatives. Thank you, as always, for the tremendous effort!

Tomorrow is May 24th, making it one full year since the House passed this important legislation with a strong bi-partisan showing. Unfortunately, the Senate still has not acted. If you have not contacted your Senators, please do so now.

And now we're going right to the top. After you have contacted your own Senators, we are asking you to contact Senate Majority Leader Frist (R-TN) to urge him to not waste another day in bringing H.R. 810 to the floor for vote. Senator Frist voiced his support of H.R.810 last July. It's past time for the Senator to demonstrate that support. Tell him to schedule a vote for H.R.810 -- for life-saving research -- today.

Mark your calendar for the Conquer Diabetes Call-In, June 8th 2006!

A phone call to Senator Frist would have the most impact. Call the Senator in Washington, DC at 202-224-3344. Thank him for his support of H.R.810 last July and ask when this important research bill will get a vote in the full Senate. After you make contact, shoot us an email at makingnoise@diabetes.org and let us know how it went!
