We would call upon the opposition to Prop. 71 to now respect the voters' mandate and drop the appeal. Any delay at this point is inexcusable.
Given the strength of this (trial) court decision, the opponents to Proposition 71 should demonstrate their respect for the voters of California who overwhelmingly approved this initiative, and patient families who suffer every day with the advance of chronic disease, by dropping their intent to appeal.
We're heartened by the fact that (the state Supreme Court) agreed to take another look at the rationale for the decision.
I wrote my book 'The Amorous Busboy Of Decatur Avenue' completely like a writer does, writing it down, re-writing everything. But in my stand-up, I improvise initially, never questioning it too closely.
Stem cell research in California has officially begun. We will win in this fight against a small and politically motivated minority, step by step. They will not keep medical research from improving the lives of millions of people. We owe it to the voters, we owe it to patients, we owe it to the families of California.
I still think the Legislature has to do the right thing (about the disputed revenue sources).
We have other products, oil changes, car washes. It's not necessarily a loss on gasoline, but we are willing to work at lower margins,
I applaud Senator Feinstein and Governor Schwarzenegger who are part of the growing bipartisan coalition of leaders determined to give hope to patients and families suffering from chronic disease and injury. However, the Brownback bill in the United States Senate would prohibit a technique that allows critical patient-specific stem cell research. If passed, this would have overwhelming and devastating consequences to the advancement of medical science here in California and around the world, severely harming our research funding program in California and undermining the basic right of families in this country to gain access to ethical therapies to help their loved ones. We owe it to the future of California and the nation to follow the vision of hope for patients.
This is a historic step for the state of California in moving forward with the funding requirements of Proposition 71 and getting funds out to researchers.
The court decision upheld Proposition 71 in its entirety. We have a victory across the board on every issue presented.
The city has been helpful. There have been no hold-ups, but the design process has taken a long time.
[T]he Super Bowl, the quintessential American creation. A dizzying mélange of brilliant entrepreneurship in an atmosphere of intense competition. It is the perfect show for the most intensely competitive culture in this solar system.
