NEW YORK - Actor Michael J. Fox is returning to TV — in a commercial praising Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry for his stance on stem cell research.
“John Kerry strongly supports stem cell research. George Bush is putting limits on it,” Fox says in an ad Kerry’s campaign unveiled Thursday. “Stem cell research can help millions of Americans whose lives have been touched by devastating illnesses. George Bush says we can wait. I say lives are at stake and it’s time for leadership. That’s why I support John Kerry for president.”
Fox, who has Parkinson’s disease, campaigned with Kerry in New Hampshire on Monday and filmed the ad after the event.
The Bush campaign called the ad false. “George Bush is the first president
to allow for the federal funding of embryonic stem cell research and has
provided hundreds of millions of federal dollars for stem cell research,”
said Brian Jones, a Bush spokesman.

His body visibly wracked by tremors, actor Michael J. Fox speaks
out for Missouri Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill in a television
ad that promotes her support for embryonic stem-cell research.
"As you might know I care deeply about stem-cell research," says the 45-year-old actor, who has struggled with Parkinson's disease for more than a decade. "In Missouri you can elect Claire McCaskill, who shares my hope for cures."
A native of Canada, Fox became an American citizen in 2000 and has been politically active for Democratic causes. He campaigned for John Kerry in the 2004 presidential race and lobbied Congress to lift President Bush's restrictions on funding for stem cell research, which holds promise in the search to cure diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
