Reply #16: She gave a RNC speech in 2004,

[CGowen]

where she talked about breast cancer, her mother died of it and maybe she thinks G.W. Bush will help by giving money for research.

I don't know what happened since 2004.

In a distant land, heroic men and women are risking their lives fighting for our freedom, our families, and our future -- and I deeply thank them, and their families, for their service.

On American soil, heroic women are fighting a different battle - a silent campaign for their freedom, their families, and their future. It is the fight against breast cancer.

.....

Perform self-breast-examinations, get clinical tests and annual mammograms. Donate to research, run in a race for the cure, join a three-day walk, or sponsor someone who does.

Most importantly, help me re-elect a leader in the fight against breast cancer who does not simply wish this disease away -- he wills it away through action.

If she isn't a shill, she should reconsider her admiration for Bush

Funding for the National Cancer Institute had been going up steadily for a decade, but now President Bush wants to cut the funding for the second year in a row — this time by $40 million.
