One vote upholds the President's veto!

The Senate yesterday passed the Reid-Harkin Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act (S. 5) 63-34.  The 34 Senate votes are enough to uphold the President’s promised veto.

Senator Brownback applauded the many dedicated citizens who called their Senators urging them not to support federal tax dollars to sanction the destruction of nascent human life.

Hope Act passes

Not to be lost is the overwhelming passage of the Coleman-Isakson HOPE Act (S.30) 70-28. The HOPE Act seeks to intensify research to derive adult stem cell lines. It is both an ethical and clinically superior alternative to using taxpayer dollars to fund the human embryonic stem cell research.  Thank you again for answering our call to action for the unborn. Yesterday, Ron De Jong called several Senate offices and they confirmed that many of the calls they received were from Grassfire team members!
