have supported this campaign.
“Whether we like it or not, can-
cer is a political issue. Cancer can
strike anyone, man, woman, child,
young, old. It has no boundaries
and it is very prevalent in our so-
ciety,” said Joanne Rinewalt, Cam-
paign Against Cancer Coordinator
for Bosque County.
Rinewalt, a cancer survivor her-
self, said that because cancer had
struck and killed several members
of her family, she wanted to voters
to “think about who you are going
to support at the polls and support
the American Cancer Society any-
way you can.”
The primary goals of this con-
tinuing campaign is to educate
candidates and the public on pro-
grams that affect cancer patients
and their families, to get politi-
cians “on the record” with their
stances, and to hold them account-
able for their votes, said Gary.
Charlotte Carpenter, Congres-
sional District 17 Campaign for
Cancer Coordinator, said that both
District 17 candidates answered
the ACS’s questionnaire and in-
vited the group to take home the
answers in the voter’s guide.
“I’m happy to say both candi-
dates are very supportive of some
of our issues and concerns. And
you as a voter must tell them why
you are concerned. The little
voices in the community makes
the difference,” Carpenter said.
She added that the people who
are diagnosed with cancer each
year in District 17 would fill 54
buses and encouraged others to
lobby the winners once they elec-
tion is decided.
The next phase of the Campaign
Against Cancer will begin once the
winner of District 17 is in office and
votes on cancer-related bills. The
American Cancer Society is a non-
partisan organization.
A number of constituents at the
Clifton stop signed the banner on
the tour bus, signed up for the
American Cancer Society’s Can-
cer Action Network, and partici-
pated in the “Picture a Cure for
Cancer” program to send to their
elected officials.
Clarence Fields, GWHF Presi-
dent/CEO, said that the issues
raised by the American Cancer
Society are important, thanked the
ACS volunteers, and welcomed the
campaign into the area.
“We know people who have fam-
ily members who are survivors
and who might possibly have can-
cer in the future. It is a big issue,”
he said. “We will work with you to
make that a priority as you move
forward in the weeks ahead.”
