Thank you, Michael J. Fox
Thanks for getting out there and supporting democrats this year. Most Americans want expanded stem cell research. You're speaking for an awful lot of us. Thanks for persevering through a grueling schedule with an illness that takes an enormous toll. Thanks for suffering the ugly attacks that the republicans have launched.

You've demonstrated courage and determination. And it is appreciated.

4. Definitely a hero for ALL Americans -
Eventually, even Republicans will appreciate what Fox is doing for them and their families, too.

9. He is so well-spoken. What a champ. And he has come through the
"trials" with clarity and compassion for his detractors.

14. Hear! Hear!
His message is simple and understandable - no wonder the hate mongers were afraid of his message.

16. I agree ...Salute M.J. Fox... however...
He wasn't just supporting Democrats... he supports ANY politician that supports stem cell research. It just happens that most Democrats do.

K&R

17. My letter to the editor about Michael J. Fox
Edited on Sat Nov-04-06 08:15 PM by Quixote1818

I grew up watching Michael J. Fox on TV and have seen a number of his movies, but only recently have I seen what a beautiful rare person he is. He has been kind, smart, fair, diplomatic, charismatic and shown incredible heart and determination when trying to promote his cause. He has not taken the bait and attacked back when others have attacked him personally, but instead he has reached out and respected both sides with incredible grace! He is showing us a civility that is rare and beautiful! He is an amazing, dynamic person, and I believe he will go down in history as a true American hero who turned the tide on stem cell research. I also believe his efforts which will eventually lead to the betterment of millions of lives and thus change the course of human history and the future of medical research!



Please feel free to send this letter to your newspaper and sign your name to it. I have only sent it to the Albuquerque Journal.

Thanks

20. I really appreciate M J F talking about this
For putting a face to stem-cell research.

We must "get back to the future" as he says.
