OK... apparently sending thousands of emails to your representatives actually works! Here's the lastest message from the LAF regarding the bills to be put to vote on November 6, 2007 here in Texas:
quote
TEXAS VICTORY
What a proud moment for Texas. And we have YOU to thank for it. During the past weeks the citizens of Texas sent a loud and clear message to their elected officials prompting the Texas Cancer Initiative (House Joint Resolution 90 and its companion bill, House Bill 14) to pass through the Texas House and Senate.
While I am proud of what we have accomplished thus far, we must now set our sights on the public vote. Over the course of the next 6 months we will have a tremendous opportunity to unite the citizens of the Lone Star state to make Texas a worldwide leader in the fight against cancer. The November 6th vote will offer Texans an opportunity to approve $3 billion in general obligation bonds that would provide $300 million a year for cancer research and programs.
If passed by the voters, the money will go to the newly established Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas which would fund research to prevent, detect and treat cancer, while also expanding important cancer prevention, early detection and control programs funded by the Texas Cancer Council.
To stay updated on this effort and take the fight to the national stage, join the LIVESTRONG Army today.
LIVESTRONG,
Lance Armstrong
