Grammy-Nominated Performer Jewel Joins Lifetime, 12 Million Viewers and Bipartisan Political Leaders on Capitol Hill to Urge End of "Drive-Through" Mastectomies

In September, as part of the network's award-winning Stop Breast Cancer for Life campaign, Lifetime Television and Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Jewel delivered more than 12 million petition signatures to Capitol Hill, urging Congress to pass the bipartisan Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act of 2005 (S 910/HR1849). The bill would allow a woman and her doctor to decide whether she should recuperate for at least 48 hours in the hospital or whether she has enough support to get quality care at home following this emotionally and physically difficult surgery. The bill was reintroduced in 2007 with the support of 14 million signatures from Lifetime's online petition. (Get an more information on this act.)

Could someone sticky this please? If we're going to sticky threads to help dogs (and you all know how much I love dogs!) I think we should definitely sticky one like this.

Nice post, Mainebear. My mom had breast cancer on more than one occasion, lost both of her breasts and went through chemo and radiation for 18 months or so. Im happy to do anything I can for the cause. Im the only man I know who wears a pink ribbon during awareness month.
