A Cure Within Our Lifetime: Hillary unveils her plan to find a cure for breast cancer within our lifetime on The Ellen DeGeneres Show today. Hillary’s plan would provide $300 million a year in increased funding for breast cancer research at the National Institutes of Health, the National Cancer Institute, and the Department of Defense Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program.
And this cannot come too soon. The numbers are quickly increasing all over the world, even in countries in Asia where traditionally they had the lowest incidence of Breast Cancer, they are seeing increases. Still not anywhere as close as in the United States, where even Asian women who move to the United States increases their chance of getting Breast Cancer by 80 percent. In our country, moving from 1-8 women to 1-7 to develop the disease. We need to find a cure for this disease as soon as possible.
Thought you might be interested in hearing about a conference call with some of Hillary's supporters - all flag officers and high-ranking generals who're backing her in her run for the White House. I was fortunate enough to hear about this call and listened in for a while and what impressed me the most in listening to these men and women, is how confident they are that Hillary will look after them and won't deploy them needlessly. I'd imagine that's of main concern to two of the men on today's call - one has a son currently serving in Iraq, and the other has a son in Afghanistan. Many have served under many presidents (one said he's served under 8) and to a person - they've said that Hillary is the most qualified and the most ready to lead our nation, and do right by our troops - both active and veterans.
Take a look at what Hillary had to say on Friday, on a stage with a lot of these top generals and flag officers in Texas regarding her readiness to lead.
