Does anyone here know how to create a petition that can be emailed around? If so would someone create one that can be sent to the president and every member of congress. I think that most of us believe that Embryonic stem cells hold the key to dozens of conditions including S.C.I. The petition should state that we the undersighned demand Federal funding for Embryonic stem cell research to include all Embryos that will be thrown away. If we send it to all our family and friends maybe something will happen.

I believe that there's a site called "Petitions Online" where you can start your own petition. I don't really know what's involved in getting one set up, but it shouldn't be that difficult. (?)

You really need to file a petition through an interest group and then they will get their lobbyist to get it through to congress. You would never get congress to look at anything that is brought forward by a group of individuals that aren't in an interest group.
