Will Our Next President Help End Breast Cancer Forever?
Susan G. Komen for the Cure Advocacy Alliance is leading the I Vote for the Cure™ campaign (www.ivoteforthecure.org) to urge candidates to make breast cancer a priority by developing specific policies for increasing funding for breast cancer research and improving access to screening and treatment for all Americans. To date, tens of thousands have signed a petition asking all candidates to work towards ending breast cancer forever.

America's next president could save lives-but only if you ask
By taking a moment to sign the I Vote for the Cure™ petition, which outlines three critical goals in the fight to end breast cancer, you can let our next leader know that you expect him or her to make breast cancer a national priority-in their platforms and for our country.

One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. Women are dying every day, and common-sense policies could ensure every woman in America - regardless of her income - has access to life-saving early detection. Take this easy step to make sure our next president hears from as many Americans as possible: we want a plan to end breast cancer forever!

Voters speak up about breast cancer
More than 90 percent of voters want the federal government to pay more attention to breast cancer research, screening and early detection and access to quality care for all. A majority of voters, 62 percent, believe breast cancer is the most critical health problem facing women today. This is also true among low-income, minority and underserved populations surveyed.
