The short explanation of this alert was:
Senate Set to Consider Stem Cell Legislation Following House Passage of Bill; Please Contact Your Senator Now!
The new congressional leadership has made consideration of the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act one of the first acts of the 110th Congress. The Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act (H.R. 3/S. 5) was introduced in both the House and Senate in early January and the House approved H.R. 3 on January 11 by a 253 to 174 vote. The Senate is set to consider the legislation in February. It is critical that all members of the Senate hear from constituents about the importance of passing this legislation.

We encourage you to customize the message to your Member of Congress as much as possible, emphasizing (1) your positive feelings about embryonic stem cell research, and (2) how expanding this research beyond the number of currently approved lines will benefit patients. We also encourage you to forward this message to colleagues and friends to increase participation.
