One year ago last week, a bipartisan majority of the House took an important step to help extend or save the lives of millions of Americans by passing H.R. 810, the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act.

Take action to support stem cell research!

It's now been one year since Senate Republican Leader Bill Frist said he had changed his mind and would support expanding stem cell research beyond President Bush's stifling limitations.

That was a moment when millions of Americans suffering from Parkinson's and Alzheimer's Disease, spinal cord injury, diabetes, and other tragic illnesses found renewed hope for a cure - if not for them, for generations to come. But the vote still hasn't happened.

The vast majority of Americans - 72% in a recent poll - support stem cell research. And under pressure last week from members of Congress and the public, Senator Frist said he would bring the issue to a vote, but still has not scheduled a date or announced which specific measures would be discussed.

Senator Frist may think that we've forgotten his original promise - we need to make clear that we have not. The radical right wing cannot be allowed to trump the will of the vast majority of Americans again. This is far too important. Tell Senator Frist: Time's Up, Hold the Vote on Stem Cell Research!

Thanks for taking action today!
