Something easy you can do for lung cancer!

6 Recommendations

From the Change.gov website, for President-Elect Obama, they have a "briefing book." It is described below...

"Share your ideas on any issue facing the new administration, then rate or comment on other ideas. The best rated ideas will rise to the top -- and be gathered into a Citizen's Briefing Book to be delivered to President Obama after he is sworn in."

I couldn't find anything in the briefings about lung cancer (you can search for it), so I wrote a piece, along with excerpts from the LCA letter for the President-Elect. Now we need YOU to go to this site and vote for it. Copy and paste this note and email all your friends to vote for it. They have to be the best rated to make it in the book that he receives.

Keep in mind, people can also vote it down, so we need to get plenty of affirmative votes. You may also vote down those that may be lower priorities for you, giving you "double" power to help this one surface...Can you help? It's easy...our briefing is at:
http://citizensbriefingbook.change.gov/ideas/viewIdea.apexp?id=087800000004 m0H

I'm tryin', guys...please help.

Thanks! Have a great week!
