    someone who cares deeply about these issues, we hope you share the message below with your contacts

    to help us knock out America's leading killer.

    President Bush is currently working on his proposal for the 2005 budget for the National Institutes
    of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Go to
    researchsaveslives.orgbudget and send a message urging the President to significantly
    increase funding for America's heart and stroke research and prevention programs.

    Sending the letter only takes a few minutes, costs nothing, and will help save untold
    thousands of lives.

    Your message to forward to your contacts is below. Please let me know if you have any questions and

    EMAIL THIS POST FOR HEART AND STROKE FUNDING
    ============================================

    Do you want to make a difference that could save someone's life -- maybe a family member or friend.
    Help increase federal funding for heart disease and stroke research and prevention programs? It will
    only take two minutes of your time and doesn't cost anything. However, if you want to help you'll
    need to act fast. Go to researchsaveslives.orgbudget now to take action.

    President Bush is working right now on drafting the 2005 budget for the National Institutes of
    Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention He needs to hear from people who live
    with, or have been touched by, heart disease and stroke on the importance of funding for
    cardiovascular research and prevention programs. That's why we are asking you to go to
    researchsaveslives.orgbudget and send a message to the White House on this
    important issue.

    Heart disease, alone, is America's No. 1 killer; and stroke is our No. 3 killer. One out of every
    five Americans lives with the effects of cardiovascular diseases, and many are permanently disabled.
    Only additional biomedical research and more prevention programs can change these tragic statistics.

    At the American Heart Association, we've seen the impact your letters make in Washington; just a few
    minutes of your time could lead to a significant investment in the fight against our nation's
    leading killers. Please go to researchsaveslives.orgbudget to contact President Bush
    and ask him to advance the battle against heart disease and stroke. Please also forward this appeal
    to colleagues, friends and family members, and ask them to e-mail the President as well.

    Thank you for your activism on this important issue.

  2. This is one subject that touches me deeply. I've put a lot of thought towards it because I work
    keypunching donations sent in for ADA.

    Why is it that people want to eat, drink, and smoke like their immortal then complain they have
    heart disease, high blood pressure, etc?

    I will admit there are people who have these problems and it is independent of their lifestyle
    habits, however most of these illnesses are self-inflicted through routine and vulgar abuse of
    their body.

    The government shouldn't fund anything more than public awareness as to how these illnesses can be
    avoided by not living an unhealthy lifestyle.

    btw, to reduce the number of flames I get. I'd like to say that I have seen the error of my ways and
    have lost 35 lbs (and I'm still going) and reduced my blood pressure and colesterol level.

    My two cents
