Last year Roman Reed and his supporters were able to pass legislation for paralysis cure funding through two Assembly committees, the full Assembly, two Senate committees, and finally the whole Senate. It would have added $1 to traffic tickets in order to restore funding to this important programme. In the end, Governor Jerry Brown vetoed the bill stating that funding should come from the general fund.Roman Reed and his team took this advice to heart and this year introduced AB714 for one million in paralysis cure funding which will come from the general fund.
They've now passed the Assembly Health and Appropriations Committees, the full Assembly 69 to 3, and most recently the Senate Health Committee nine to nil.
While Roman works to make sure the bill gets through the Senate Appropriations Committee and the full Senate, we are working on a giant "CureParalysis" card for the Governor to let him know that we'll be with him when he signs the bill into law.
Over 400 hundred have already signed our card and stand in solidarity for paralysis cure. We still have time before this bill gets to the Governor's desk and hope that you'll stand shoulder to shoulder with us.
Sign the card and send your comments to Governor Jerry Brown.
This campaign has now ended. Thanks for all your support.
Wise,
ReplyDeleteI understand you are upset as the Keck Center gets significant founding from the NJ SCI commisson.
All I want is a cure for chronic SCI, so rather than be so upset, could you point out what progress has been made to cure chronic SCI with the almost $40 millions spent by the commission?

Paolo,
Unfortunately, you don't understand anything. Please mind your own business. You just want to destroy other people's work.
Wise.
Wise don't want nobody messing with his cash cow
Unfortunately, you don't understand anything either Bob. This isn't your carecure response forum. You just want to destroy Dennis's work on the Roman Reed SCi research funding bill. Please STFU.
DeleteBoob, you bitched on the carecure forum for years demanding embryonic stem cell research...Dennis has posted an advocacy project that supports stem cell research and you can't mutter a single word of support about his effort. You're not interested in sci research. You're just wanting to play "THE GODFATHER MAFIA" against the carecure guy. Go suck eggs somewhere else.
DeleteI was once a member of the Commission but had to resign because the stringent rules of conflict in New Jersey not only requires that I step out of the room whenever any application comes from Rutgers (>50% of applications) but does not allow my group or any group in New Jersey who collaborate with me to apply to the Commission for funding.

Oh so thats why Jimmy Mack is on the board
You demanded that Rutgers give your kid a handicapped basketball team, now that they have a chance to fund it for you then you bitch even more!! Guess you're not demanding NJ taxpayer money for your kid to play basketball since he went to a different out of state college huh? This is why nobody wanted YOU on the board!!!!!!!!!!!!
DeleteBoob is running his campaign to get himself on the NJ SCI Commission. VOTE NO FOR BOOB. He doesn't know shit about sci research.
DeleteWise to Dennis:
ReplyDeleteUnbelievably, you thank him for bringing this matter to the community and then opined that it does no harm. You are wrong. He is doing harm and he is continuing to harm the cause that he professes to support. Let's take the rest of the discussion off-line.
Wise.

Wow Dennis be careful you might wake up with a horse's head in your bed
Bob, this comment section is not your personal carecure #2. Go post with wise at his forum. This comment section is about Gov. Jerry Brown and the funding of Roman Reed's spinal cord injury research efforts. You're a troll and ruining the efforts here on AB714. Go make your own troll website. We'll call it drunk troll on the loose.
ReplyDeleteAsk Jimmy Mack if he approved any funding for the Keck Center?
ReplyDeleteWould be a conflict of interest
@ Troll Bob: The conflict of interest here is yours. This blog post is about Roman Reed and funding in California for sci research. If your interest is in Keck Center, then go to Dr. Young and help him. Your brain is what is conflicted.
DeleteGo ask him yourself troll. Jimmy Mack runs concession stands and sells hot diggity dogs in Chinatown. On the other hand, Gov. Jerry Brown is in California and we're working on funding the Roman Reed spinal cord injury labs with chronic research funding. Get the picture drunk lazy butt?
ReplyDeleteBoob thinks NJ is in California. A dweeb at large.
ReplyDeleteRoman Reed funds research at the Reeve Irvine Research Center since Boob can't figure out what the AB714 is for.
Maybe you could post the AB714 information at this new forum for everyone?

I hope we get money secured for sci research in California. They have lots of great scientists that work out there.
YOU AND ROMAN REED ARE AWESOME!!! THE AB714 HAS PASSED. WE NOW HAVE $1,000,000.OO FOR SPINAL CORD INJURY RESEARCH. THANK YOU DENNIS FOR KEEPING YOUR EYE ON THE BALL AND HELPING ROMAN TO GET THIS DONE IN CALIFORNIA. YOU DO FANTASTIC ADVOCACY WORK. BLESS YOUR HEART!
ReplyDeleteON TO THE SENATE NOW! THIS WILL SURELY BE A REALITY SOON. YOU GUYS MADE IT PAST THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE, IF THE SENATE SIGNS ON, I HOPE THE GOVENOR WILL THEN SIGN IT INTO LAW. A WIN OF 9-0 IN APPROPRIATIONS WAS SUPERB! GO DENNIS AND ROMAN.
