I have to give him props – since being a sworn enemy of frozen embryo Americans is the one little bit of common ground I have with Congressman Useless.
I love speaking with JDRF children and families. Like many of my colleagues, I realized the importance of federal funding for diabetes research after meeting with young JDRF advocates from my state, and I was moved to get involved. I am honored to serve as co-chair of the Diabetes Caucus in the House, and I have worked closely with Representative Diana DeGette (D-CO-1) to lead the fight to expand federal funding for type 1 diabetes research, and particularly embryonic stem cell research.
