I will bet that most Americans are not aware of the difference between Embryonic and Adult Stem Cell Research.

The media portrays the Bush administration as being against ALL "Stem Cell" Research while neglecting to mention that it is only against the federal FUNDING of "Embryonic" stem cell research. The Media does not differentiate between the two and is attempting to portray this EVIL administration as against ALL so called "Stem Cell" research and denying all Americans of the cure from everything from cancer to AIDS.

Since this seems to be a thorny point of contention with a lot of voters, I thing we will need to do a little educating of the public about the differences and that this administration is only against the FUNDING of "Embryonic" stem cell research and not against the funding "Adult" stem cell research. And that the private sector would still be welcome to fund the "Embryonic" research without the aid of taxpayers money.

I know of people who are not going to vote because of this issue and I am sure that there are many others out there are are misunderstanding this issue. We must get this info out there even if it is only to win a few more votes. Considering the outcome of the last election this could mean the difference between win or lose folks.
