Embryonic stem cell research is supported by more than 500 organizations, including the American Medical Association, AARP, Association of American Medical Colleges, Parkinson's Action Network, American Diabetes Association, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and Paralyzed Veterans of America.

The House passed legislation promoting research last week, and the Senate is expected to do so soon. As Rep. Holt said, "The only one standing in the way of progress on this issue is President Bush, and we're all here today to say plainly: put down your veto pen."
