The Issue All Candidates Should Be Running Against

From the Lance Armstrong Foundation website:
Since President Richard Nixon declared war on cancer in 1971, the disease has never drawn any significant political attention or opposition. Until now.

In August, the Lance Armstrong Foundation invited all of the presidential candidates to address the cancer burden in our country. At the LIVESTRONG Presidential Cancer Forum, six candidates pledged to renew the war on cancer and to make cancer a national priority.

The LIVESTRONG Presidential Cancer Forum made cancer a ballot box issue for the 2008 presidential elections. Our next president must be focused on the cancer issue. He or she must be committed to our health and well-being and have the political will to do something about it.

Cancer must remain part of the national dialogue, and you can help. Learn about candidates' commitments to the war on cancer and spread the word to your friends and family that cancer is an important issue for our nation.

Soon you will have the opportunity to cast your vote. The millions of people affected by cancer across the country are counting on you.
