Senators what were you thinking?

The U.S Senate voted to eliminated DOD Medical Research on September 14, 2017.

Not only does this vote effect prostate cancer research something that we have been fighting for! It effects many other cancer research as well. I will keep fighting for prostate cancer research! 

Ray was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer with no known family history. The only possible connection is that he was a Firefighter in the Military and possible contact with Agent Orange. 

Senators voting to eliminate Medical Researchb is so disheartening to know that you want to stop all funding for finding cures for diseases! These disease may not have effected you but if they ever do! Would your vote have been different?

Alcohol and Substance Abuse
Alzheimer's
