Disappointed
I’ve been out at Discovery Team Camp for the last week getting to know all the new riders and catching up with old friends. During some downtime today I picked up a copy of USA Today and was disappointed to see that President Bush has proposed to cut funding to the National Cancer Institute for a second consecutive year. In the article - White House spokesman Tony Fratto says, “We’re proud of the significant investment that we have made in cancer research. We’re also proud of the results showing that researchers are delivering on that investment.”
While I think we all can agree that we are proud of the results researchers are delivering, that success is reason to REDOUBLE our efforts, not keep the STATUS QUO.
1400 people will die of cancer today and tomorrow and the next day - are we comfortable as a nation telling them the status quo is the best we could do?
LIVESTRONG,

I have been really disallusioned with the Republican Party. They are so out of touch with Americans, other than a very conservative faith based percent of the American population but I am no longer , it comes from fear and division. It also comes from a arrogant belief that Christianity is the only way and it is a distortion of Christ’s teachings that revolve around fear, sin, and separation. Any president I vote for will accept every religion, every advance in medical miracles that will help humanity. If the president does not focus on curing disease within their own population which will inturn help the rest of the world then I cannot support that candidate.
