I’ll be attending the Town Hall. Is there a way that I can record this from my home while I am away?

I’m so sad that I’m not at the Summit but I can’t thank you all enough for streaming the Presidential Town Hall. I am really proud to be working with an organization that isn’t afraid to hold our Presidential candidates accountable for their plans to help in this fight. I look forward to hearing from Sen. Obama in the near future.
LIVESTRONG!

I attended the event last night and as a Survivor - there is still alot of work to do but with Doug and Lance leading the charge the presidential candidates cannot ignore this issue.
Thank you to all Livestrong supporters and volunteers!

As a daughter of a father who lived bravely with cancer, I was distressed to see the politicization of the event by Senator John McCain. I’m sympathic with his story but believe it intolerable for him to use the event and the event to be used for political jabs. Shame on all who allowed this to occur.

As a two time cancer survivor at the age of 49 I believe that Senator John McCain is the only candidate that “gets it”.
I hope we all can get behind him and make a difference in beating this disease.

Reposting my comments from another string since it applies here as well. Sad that some people interpret McCain’s support of our cause as our support for him as president:
—————————–
As a political Independent who tends to lean towards the liberal side, I was disappointed that Sen. Obama CHOSE NOT TO ATTEND the Summit and Town Hall - CHOOSING instead to appear in Europe. This was his decision - he was invited and declined.
For anyone to criticize the LAF for this or for anything McCain may have said or not said is absolutely ludicrous. I felt everyone involved from the LAF’s standpoint did an outstanding job being non-partisan (despite what the media mis-reported). Obviously Sen. McCain is going to advocate for himself at every opportunity - this is his job.
I am not a McCain supporter, nor was I “blown away” by any of his comments, but I think it’s commendable for him to show up to this event and support the cause. As a survivor and a Summit attendee, our goal is/was to make cancer a national priority. A Presidential candidate can appear wherever they want and have many organizations pulling them in every direction. McCain, at the very least, made a statement that this is an issue of importance to him and a cause that he supports.
If you are an Obama supporter and/or avid Democrat then blame your candidate and his campaign for him not being there (and communicate this to THEM - as I have already done). Don’t criticize the candidate who DID show up or the fine people that produced this fine event. Shame on you… your negative comments make me resent your candidate even more.
