Our Work Is Never Over

December 5, 2011

ACS CAN launched its second-ever national TV commercial in November calling on Congress to make fighting cancer a national priority.

The ad ran while the congressional Š—“super committeeŠ— was debating ways to reduce the federal deficit, and we are renewing the effort this week at an equally important time. The ad will run again nationally on CNN, FOX and MSNBC and on several major news sites through Dec. 16, as Congress continues to debate federal spending priorities for Fiscal Year 2012 and beyond. Our work to protect vital cancer funding is ongoing, as are our efforts in support of strong tobacco control measures, policies that improve access to health care and improve patientsŠ—' quality of life and lifesaving prevention and early detection programs. Now is the time to contact your members of Congress and ask them to make fighting cancer a national priority.
