re: #442 Gus

I’ll post this again: lung cancer rates for the USA.

See the pattern?

I just sent this e-mail to Collins. I know I’m not in his district and it makes no difference, but I lost my mom to breast cancer.

I cannot, for the life of me, understand why conservatives prize ignorance so much.

Dear Mr. Collins:

You’re obviously ignorant to the threat breast and colon cancer presents to the US public. From www.cancer.gov:

Estimated new cases and deaths from breast cancer in the United States in 2012:

New cases: 226,870 (female); 2,190 (male)
Deaths: 39,510 (female); 410 (male)

Estimated new cases and deaths from prostate cancer in the United States in 2012:

New cases: 241,740
Deaths: 28,170

If you’re going to run for Congress by opposing Obama’s HCR, fine. Just do your research before opening your mouth and looking like a fool.

I would imagine the people of NY 27 want a representative who is actually informed, rather than a hack who makes thing up.
