access applaud basic bill bipartisan california cell chronic coalition consequences country critical determined disease ethical families follow funding future gain governor growing help hope leaders leaders-and-leadership loved medical nation owe patients program prohibit research science senate senator states stem suffering technique therapies united vision
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.

There are certain families who absolutely incorporate their nanny as part of the family, and there are other people, and there are codes for this, when they call in, they say, 'I am really not looking for a friend.' It is clear they will not be members of the family.
When I started, there was no comedy community, no comedy industry; there were comedians.
