Colorectal cancer research and screening are being threatened by a lack of robust, timely, and consistent federal funding.

Tell your Member of Congress to finish their work on the FY20 spending bills so that progress continues towards preventing, treating, and curing colorectal cancer!

We just need a few pieces of information to connect you to your policymakers.

Subject: Support the Colorectal Cancer Community in the FY20 Spending Bills

Message:

I am your constituent and a member of the colorectal cancer community. I urge you to complete work on the FY20 spending bills--lifesaving medical research and screening efforts depend on it.

Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of death for men and women combined. This is unacceptable and medical research at the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Defense is critical to changing that statistic.

Colorectal cancer is preventable if caught early. Efforts to increase access to colorectal cancer screening such as the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s Colorectal Cancer Control Program help catch this terrible disease early before it progresses into a devastating and deadly illness.

These programs are making a meaningful difference in the lives of colorectal cancer patients, their caregivers, and loved ones. Don’t stand in the way of progress. Stand up for the colorectal cancer community and complete work on the FY20 spending bills.

In a final agreement, please include:
$42 billion, an increase of $3 billion, for the National Institutes of Health
$100 million for the Department of Defense’s Peer-Reviewed Cancer Research Program and ensure colorectal cancer continues to remain eligible
$45 million for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s Colorectal Cancer Control Program

Thank you for your consideration. These efforts can’t wait. I hope to count you as a champion for the colorectal cancer community. If you have any questions about these efforts or would like to learn more, please contact Molly McDonnell, Fight Colorectal Cancer’s Director of Advocacy, at advocate@fightcrc.org. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Remaining:

Sorry, but we are not targeting your Members of Congress right now.

Thank You!
