Republicans don't care about sick people. They certainly dont care about children with cancer as they steipped several childhood cancer out of the spending bill last December so they could please Elon Musk.

When I was in law school, one professor used to say something like "if you can't discriminate against minorities, who can you discriminate against?"

I'm not sure everyone picked up on his true social commentary.

Thank you for reposting that. The Give Kids a Chance Act is a great bill/resolution with virtually no cost associated with it. The Kids v Cancer website has a lot of history and information on the Act.

Would you be willing to repost this: kidsvcancer.org#/14/

It goes to a form people can use to contact their senators and representatives and express support for the Give Kids a Chance Act. This Act includes childhood cancer measures that republicans stripped out of the spending bill in Dec 2024.

Is this also how the gop justifies removing childhood cancer measures from the spending bill in December 2024? Is this how they justify cutting NIH funding? As long as the richest people get tax breaks, it's okay to let children and poor people die.

Would you be willing to repost the link below? In 12/24, the gop stripped childhood cancer measures out of the spending bill. Supporting children with cancer should be bipartisan.

We can support children with cancer by taking 2 minutes to contact our Congressmen.

Can you do anything about HR1262? It's been in committee for over 3 months and includes childhood cancer measures that Musk and republicans stripped out of the spending bill last year.

A group of 300+ went to DC in February to advocate for childhood cancer bills. Rep. Barry Loudermilk's office canceled the meeting with us. It looks like he may have met with one of his largest donors instead.
May 5, 2025 at 6:02 PM
This topic is personal to me, Republicans chose to disregard children with cancer when they kowtowed to Musk and removed several childhood cancer measures from the spending bill in December 2024.
May 5, 2025 at 6:02 PM
I've been posting this a lot lately, but republicans don't care if children die. They stripped childhood cancer measures out of the spending bill in December. One measure passed once Rand Paul finally lifted his objection. Others are still in limbo. Please send a message.

I believe her district is next to Rep Loudermilk's district. Loudermilk's staff canceled a meeting with a group of us advocating for childhood cancer bills, and it looks like that was done so they could meet instead with one of their biggest contributors.
April 6, 2025 at 6:39 PM
I don't know what else to conclude at this point. On Facebook, I explained how Musk and republicans took away funding for childhood cancer measures and removed other measures that don't even require funding. People tried to imply it wasn't Musk's fault, and/or it was Biden's fault.
April 6, 2025 at 4:32 PM
... a meeting with people advocating for childhood cancer measures apparently because a significant donor was meeting with Loudermilk at that time.

How do you make people care about children with cancer or measles? How do you make people care about children in general or about people in general?
April 6, 2025 at 3:14 PM
Unfortunately, too many republicans don't care about dying children. Elon Musk had a few childhood cancer measures removed from the spending bill in December. One childhood cancer bill only passed because Rand Paul finally lifted his objection.

Representative Barry Loudermilk's staff canceled...
April 6, 2025 at 3:14 PM
We were supposed to meet with someone from Representative Loudermilk's office, but they did not have time for us, so we don't know whether Congressman Loudermilk opposes childhood cancer research and helping young cancer patients or whether his staff simply had a scheduling issue.
