Cause it’s more than just the presidential election…

While it’s easy to get caught up in the brouhaha of the presidential election, it’s amazingly important that we don’t forget about remaining active locally.

For those of you in California, make sure you’re paying attention to Proposition 71, the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative.

According to a release by NARAL Pro-Choice California, Prop 71 will “support stem cell research at California hospitals, medical schools and universities, to develop life-saving therapies and cures for diseases that could save the lives of millions of California children and adults, reduce state health care costs and provide a boost to regional economies and the state at large.”

Prop 71 would allocate $300 million per year over ten years for stem cell research. As we’ve reported before, this amount of money is pretty much what is being spent now by the federal government on embryonic stem cell research.

So get to it, CA!
