Join ACS CAN at the Capitol on February 9th, 2010.

Lobby Day gives ordinary people extraordinary power to fight back against cancer! Be a part of an exciting and critical time in Colorado.

Meet with your elected officials and be the voice that makes the change for people touched by cancer. We will be meeting with our legislators to lobby them on many bills surrounding cancer issues this year. They need to hear from you, their constituent, so they can understand how important it is to keep cancer in mind when deciding how to vote on bills.

We will also hear directly from Governor Bill Ritter.  He will speak about the Colorado budget situation and plans for priority programs.  We will ask for a cease to cuts from cancer-fighting programs such as the Colorado Quitline and the Colorectal Cancer Screening Program.  In the past year, Colorado lawmakers have cut millions of dollars from these life-saving programs.

For more information, contact Carlos Estrada by phone, 720.524.5409 or email, carlos.estrada@cancer.org Lunch is provided and there is no cost to attend, but advance registration is required.
