| May 12, 2009 Dear John, A few weeks ago, President Obama signed an executive order authorizing the use of federal funds, your tax dollars, to be used for human embryonic stem cell research. This executive order also commissioned the National Institute of Health (NIH) to publish new guidelines for funding research on embryonic stem cells. By law, the Obama Administration must publish these new regulations for public comment until May 26th. Your comments on these new regulations must be read by law! Be sure to submit your comment by clicking here. This is your chance to raise your voice and tell the Obama Administration not to fund stem cell research that destroys human life! While composing your comments please consider making the following points: -I am opposed to your draft guidelines for embryonic stem cell research, which force me as a taxpayer to subsidize research requiring the destruction of innocent human life. Support should be directed to stem cell research and treatments that do not destroy human life and are already proven successful. There is no case under which government support should be extended to human cloning or the creation of human embryos for research purposes. -Embryo-destructive stem cell research has shown to be ineffective and even dangerous, forming uncontrollable tumors and causing rejection problems. Adult stem cells are non-controversial, ethical, and most importantly, effective in treating patients. We should not fund controversial research that destroys human life when we have other options that do not destroy human life. -The proposed regulations do not prevent future funding for embryonic stem cell research that could lead to the creation of clones and human-animal hybrids. This loophole must be closed immediately. Please take this opportunity to stand up to President Obama's order that allows more of your tax dollars to be spent on the destruction of human life. Be sure to submit your comments today. We must have our voices heard on this issue! For Life, Marjorie Dannenfelser P.S. Thank you for caring enough to get involved. Would you please consider giving a small gift to the Susan B. Anthony List to support our Stop the Abortion Bailout campaign? With your help, we can make a difference for Life!
