OhioKat Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 The Lung Cancer Alliance website has a petition posted to try and get lung cancer made a national public health priority. You can fill it out online or download a printable version and mail it in. As of this posting only 1475 people have signed it. I think that number is frighteningly low. I hope everyone here puts their name to it and asks their family and friends to do the same thing! http://www.lungcanceralliance.org/involved/sign_the_petition.php Quote
Andrea Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Done for me, my husband, my dad, and my mom. Thought about doing Buddy the dog, but instead, I am going to include the link in one of the mass e-mails I send to friends/family about my mom as updates. I will do it this week Quote
OhioKat Posted November 3, 2005 Author Posted November 3, 2005 Done! WOW that is low. Yes it is, I'm hoping that the wonderful people on this site can help to change that! Quote
Connie B Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 Yes it is low, however this petition has been going around for abuot 6 years now that I know of and we have even had it posted on this board about 3 + times. There is a post about 4 months ago that asked everyone to sign this. A lot of our members did so. As much as I wish these petitions worked, in most cases they don't. I remember bringing this petition from ALCASE (ALC) to my support groups and to our Cancer Events here in MN and having people sign them. I sent them back to ALCASE but never heard what ever happened to them. Wish they would post an update or something about the outcome of this long running petition. Quote
Jyoung20 Posted November 3, 2005 Posted November 3, 2005 I just sent a link to my whole address book. Hope they sign. GO GOD!!! Jamie Quote
