SANTA MONICA, Calif., Nov. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Cord Blood America, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CBAI), the umbilical cord blood stem cell preservation company (http://www.cordblood-america.com) focused on bringing the life saving potential of stem cells to families nationwide and internationally, said today that a letter to shareholders from CEO Matthew Schissler has been posted on the Company's website. The letter explains some of the positive scientific and economic implications of the potential enhanced stem cell research initiatives proposed by the new Obama Administration.
On Sunday, November 9, 2008, John Podesta, who is leading President Elect Barack Obama's transition team, told Fox News (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,449164,00.html):
