thank you Senator Specter!
I heard on the news yesterday (either MSNBC or CNN) that the reason they were able to hang on to the NIH funding was because Sen. Arlen Specter (R; PA) demanded that it be kept as part of his pledge to support the stimulus as one of only three Republicans.
Senator Specter is a long time supporter of medical research. Congratulations to all the advocates who called - but we are lucky to have Specter on our side in a supreme place of influence!
