1. That was excellent and simple.

No special effects needed. Wonderful. Is this being aired on television?

[fasttense]

2. Wow, that will tear your heart out. For those of us who remember

Michael when he was just a kid this is such a devastating add. You know when polio was killing and crippling American children there was no stone left unturned to find a cure. Yet today, we turn away from very promising medical research because it gets votes and keeps the repukes in power. May God forgive them for they know not what they do.

3. god will not for give because they do know what they are doing

if they or their loved one were stricken with a disease that could be cured by stem cells would they withhold the treatment or would they be the first in line?

5. Michael J Fox, has got to take the Bull by the horns..

continue to work for Stem cell research....BUT get himself
Stem cell treatment overseas. He can't wait any longer. He
must do this for himself and the people he is fighting for.

[Warren Stupidity]

9. Uh - there is no stem cell treatment yet.

There is research, much of it overseas where religious idiocy has not taken control yet, but currently there is no treatment. There are some promising projects, such as http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2005-01/joci-tom122904.php,
but a treatment is not yet in sight.

12. hmm...

I thought I heard rumblings going on about some new scientific research in the UK.

They were using more advanced stem cells, perhaps they were embryonic stem cells..

Experimentation on willing volunteers seem like a good bet though..

4. kick and nom and yes not all politics is local

and this ad says it best...

[Clark2008]

6. Oh my.

I didn't realized he'd regressed so badly.

:cry:

Bless his heart.

7. Wisconsin is a leader

in stem-cell research, and I am proud that our Governor sees the importance of this research.

Compelling video, thanks for sharing.

8. Excellent. Michael J Fox is the best advocate the issue has right now.

Articulate even in the face of the disease that is slowly devastating him and those he loves and love him.

There's no reason Americans like him and I should have to wait for intensive research anymore.

God bless you, Mr. Fox. We may go down, you and I, but it will be fighting every step of the way.
