New Jersey: Take Action!
If you're a voter in New Jersey, you need to take action right now.
A proposal to invest $150 million in stem cell research in the state was on the verge of success -- but is now being blocked in the Assembly. And with just days left before the summer recess -- New Jersey voters need to speak out right now.
Stem Cell Bill May Hit a Wall:
Assemblyman threatens to bar proposal to fund research hubTuesday, June 21, 2005Star-Ledger StaffBY TOM HESTERA proposal to invest $150 million in state funds to build a stem cell research institute -- planned as a hallmark of acting Gov. Richard Codey's 17-month term -- faces a roadblock in the Assembly and may not be considered there before the summer recess in nine days.
Deputy Majority Leader Neil Cohen (D-Union), the primary supporter of stem cell research in the Assembly, said yesterday he will block the legislation if it reaches the lower house in its present form because it would pay for construction but not for research.
"Right now I do not support the bill. Spending $150 million for bricks, mortar and glass is obscene. No money would be used to attract researchers," Cohen said. "I do not believe in constructing a facility for academic ego. I think that is a big mistake."

It's no surprise with President Bush virtually ordering Baptist churches to open public schools. Bush will murder another million or so kids by making them hostages to such a fool hearty impractical educational experience. There's going to be a disease out break among young people today the likes of which have never been seen before. Education is bigger than you (Mr I'm Saved), bigger than any banks or community, and yes bigger than any country. President Bush has done it over and over throughout their adminstrations short changing Americans in every imaginable way. Still a handful of idiots show off their automatic weapons or mote surrounded homes as another fine example of Bush politics. That ain't much when you consider the millions crippled and killed both here and abroad due to Bush politics.
