Cancer Don't Care

	E-Mail sent from the American Cancer Society's Cancer Action Network -- PLEASE SHARE This is outrageous. Last night, the White House doubled down on its plan to cut cancer research funding. Not only do they want to cut $1 billion in cancer research funding in next year’s budget, now they want to cut medical research an additional $1 billion from this year’s budget, too. The impact of such cuts are huge. Breakthrough cures derailed. Lifesaving ways to prevent cancer put on hold. I know this seems like a big ask, but it will take you less than a minute. I need you to call your U.S. Representative right now. I promise that your lawmaker won’t get on the phone and that their staff will not ask you questions other than your name and hometown. It’s as simple as leaving the message we’ve provided below. Step 1: Call your elected representatives in Congress .
