Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) raises $ for groundbreaking cancer research. This is where the end of cancer begins. Donate now at http://www.su2c.org/donate http://www.standup2cancer.org

Our scientific partners, the AACR, have brought an emergency situation to our attention. We need the help of the Stand Up To Cancer army to stop a grave government budget cut that will reduce government funding for cancer research and new treatment options for patients.

Pressure is mounting on Capitol Hill. By Friday, lawmakers must negotiate a final compromise on spending priorities for the remainder of the fiscal year or face a government shutdown.

Biomedical research has been targeted for severe spending cuts-and unless you act now, the NIH could be cut by as much as $1.6 billion.

Congress needs to hear the message loud and clear that cuts to NIH research will slow progress and squander scientific potential to the detriment of our nation’s health, our fragile economy, and our global competitiveness. Join your colleagues in calling or e-mailing Congress today. Your voice can make a difference at this crucial time.

CONTACT CONGRESS NOW!
