Private donors give $100 million to stem cell research
Nearly three years ago California voters approved a $3 billion bond for embryonic stem cell research. Yet state dollars are tied up in lawsuits bolstered by the religious right (more on the lawsuits and other states' efforts to fund research on new stem cell lines here).
Today the Wall Street Journal reports that private donors have contributed more than $100 million to the state's new stem-cell research agency, the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, as well as to research programs at state universities.
Donors include Ray Dolby, of Dolby Laboratories Inc., who has given $21 million and Eli Broad, real estate magnate and philanthropist, who has given at least $27 million. Venture capitalist John Doerr, bond-fund manager Bill Gross, and Qualcomm Inc. founder Irwin Jacobs have also been major contributors.

EVERYBODY Knows that if the GOVERNMENT doesn't fund vital Research, then it will NEVER get Funded!!
EVERYONE Knows that millionaires are GREEDY, and if they're allowed to keep all that money they'll only tuck it away so that ONLY THEY will benefit!!

Teresa, here, from the above article, are the list of names you need:
Ray Dolby, Eli Broad, John Doerr, Bill Gross, and Irwin Jacobs.
(Soliciting donations on MojoBlog is probably a violation of their T.O.S., you know?)
