Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit C3: Colorectal Cancer Coalition.The short explanation of this alert was: Research gives us answers to questions about how to screen, diagnose and treat colorectal cancer. Those answers lead to better outcomes for all of us. Budget cuts have started to slow this process down. Educate Congress. Tell them that this is no time to slow down, let alone go backwards. President Bush has proposed a cut in funding for the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in his budget for Fiscal Year 2007. We need you to ask your Member of Congress to oppose these cuts and instead work for an increase in cancer program and research funding. At a time when we are reaping the return on our sustained investments in the fight against cancer with continuing decline in death rates, we should be accelerating our investments and progress, not retreating from our commitment. Increased funding will put our nation back on track to accomplishing this Administration's stated goal to eliminate the suffering and death due to cancer by 2015. We can't get there without sustained investment in cancer research and programs. Send a message to Congress today and let them know that you want more funds for lifesaving programs and research.
