Please call your United States Senators TODAY and tell them to “SUPPORT the SPECTER-HARKIN-KENNEDY AMENDMENT TO THE 2007 BUDGET RESOLUTION.” CALL YOUR U.S. SENATORS TODAY TO SUPPORT FUNDING INCREASES TO CANCER RESEARCH AND PROGRAMS! This week (the week of March 13th), the Senate is scheduled to vote on the Senate Budget Resolution, which sets the overall funding allocations for all federal spending for Fiscal Year 2007 (FY 07). As currently drafted, the Senate Budget Resolution CUTS funding for medical research and public health programs. While this is very serious situation, there is a glimmer of hope. Sometime THIS WEEK – and possibly as soon as MARCH 14th – the Senate will vote on the SPECTER-HARKIN-KENNEDY amendment to increase funding for all health and education programs by $7 billion. The only way to GUARANTEE that cancer research and programs are not only saved from cuts – but also receive necessary increases in FY 2007 – is for the Senate to pass the SPECTER-HARKIN-KENNEDY Ame

“How My Cat Taught Me About A Higher Power” By Cindy Persico Like most of us I struggle with the concept of “Higher Power” or H.P. and my understanding has grown thankfully over the years that on most days I can feel centered and well-cared for by this Higher Power thanks to Alanon. That isn’t always the case. In 2003 my brother-in-law was killed in a car accident.

She shivered, and shook, and cried, certain this couldn’t possibly be what should be happening at all. I reassured her as best I could; yet again had a flash that this is exactly how life feels sometimes. I’m sure that whatever is happening is all wrong
