I Vote for the Cure

From the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Advocacy Alliance:

With the primaries just getting under way, thousands of people have already taken a stand and told the 2008 presidential candidates: I Vote for the Cure.

It's all part of Komen's new campaign to put breast cancer at the center of the national debate this election season. From coast to coast, we're raising the cry: I Vote for the Cure.

Are you with us?

Sign the petition now! Help us hit our goal of 100,000 signatures!

It couldn't be easier to tell America's next president that you want breast cancer to be a national priority.

Komen's I Vote for the Cure campaign challenges the candidates to tell us how they'll address three common-sense objectives:

More funding for research. How will our next leader ensure that we don't lose momentum - and that critical advances in the laboratory reach patients?

Screening for all. Will our next leader provide every low-income, uninsured, and underinsured woman in America access to early detection?

Access to quality treatment. Which candidates will promise to make sure that all women diagnosed with breast cancer - regardless of income or skin color - have access to high quality treatment?

This is one of the biggest, boldest campaigns we have ever launched, and we're off to a great start. But it would be even better if you were on board!

Ready? Sign the I Vote for the Cure Petition today and let our next president know where you stand.

We're sending a message the candidates - and the media - won't be able to overlook. I hope you'll join the excitement as we move forward.

Thank you for all that you do in the fight against breast cancer.

Sincerely,

Diane Balma
