CONGRESS CONSIDERING $100 MILLION CUT IN CANCER RESEARCH FUNDING
Act Now to Tell Them No!
The U.S. House of Representatives is considering a proposal that would cut cancer research funding by nearly $100 million.
A $100 million cut to cancer research funding would have a devastating effect on the future of cancer care. It would mean delays in new cancer drugs, new cancer screenings and life-saving cancer treatments.
This would be the first time in more than a decade the federal government has actually reduced its support for cancer research, and it comes at a time when the opportunity for new cancer breakthroughs has never been greater.
We cannot let this happen. You cannot let this happen.
Please take two minutes to send an email to your lawmakers by clicking here. (http://capwiz.com/acs-national/mail/oneclick_compose/?alertid=8166056)
Our only chance at avoiding massive cuts is if thousands of volunteers just like you email their Representatives and let them know it is unacceptable to cut cancer research funding by nearly $100 million.
While our lawmakers are deciding how the federal budget – our tax dollars – should be spent, they need to hear from us. Some in Congress say we can’t afford to spend more on cancer research. We say we can’t afford NOT to.
Just last month, 92 U.S. Senators and 275 U.S. Representatives signed a letter in support of the Bush Administration’s goal to eliminate suffering and death due to cancer by the year 2015. However, this goal will only become a reality if lawmakers take the right steps. Cutting cancer research funding is a step in the wrong direction.
While the House is considering a cut, the U.S. Senate has proposed a $1 billion increase in medical research funding that will lead to increased cancer research. We support this proposal as a step in the right direction. The House of Representatives should take note.
Tell your Representative we want to move forward, not backward. Click here to send a quick email insisting that your U.S. Representative oppose cuts to cancer research funding. (http://capwiz.com/acs-national/mail/oneclick_compose/?alertid=8166056)
