Lance Armstron is not the only one to lose patience with legislators

Lance Armstrong has been doing a series of articles on CNN and today's centered on his growing disapproval of legislators ducking the cancer issue. I also am a cancer survivor, pancreatic cancer to be exact. Pancreatic cancer kills 31,000 people each year. Each day 1500 Americans die of cancer. Still no word from our political leaders. They don't even recognize it as a problem. They again cut the cancer research budget this year. Hilary Clinton gets headlines for proposing health care changes but so far all she does is rob Peter to pay Paul, meaning she takes from physician's incomes and gives to the insurers. Another victory for the insurance lobby. If it's not the insurance industry, then it's the trial lawyers association, or the industrialists who get the votes. We have lost perhaps 3000 Americans and wounded some 30,000 or more in Iraq. We lose more than that every few weeks to cancer. If the American public will not demand money for cancer research, will not demand the right to pursuit of happiness, nothing will change. Lance Armstrong is incredibly brave and convincing. Americans must support him at the ballot box.
