From our friends at Curesearch:
Restoring National Cancer Institute funding to 2010 levels for fiscal year 2012 is a top priority for CureSearch for Children's Cancer. The appropriations process on Capitol Hill is underway, and the Labor -Health and Human Services -Education bill (through which NIH and NCI receive funding) will be discussed soon. Senators Bob Casey (D-PA) and Richard Burr (R-NC) are working hard to ensure the National Cancer Institute continues to receive the funding necessary to support ongoing research and discovery. To that end, they sent a letter to their colleagues asking them to sign onto the letter of support. As of today, Senators John Kerry (D-MA) Pat Leahy (D-VT) and Ron Wyden (D-OR) are also supporting this endeavor. Call your senators TODAY and ask that they also sign onto the letter from Senators Bob Casey (D-PA) and Richard Burr (R-NC) in support of NIH funding.
The deadline for senators to contact Senator Casey’s office is TOMORROW, June 9, so CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW!
