LIVESTRONG Action has submitted an Idea to Change.org’s Ideas for Change in America competition, asking the Obama administration to send the Tobacco Treaty to the Senate for ratification. Ideas for Change In America is a nation-wide campaign that encourages people and organizations to submit innovative ideas for solving our country’s most pressing problems. The Top 10 Ideas will be presented to representatives of the media, nonprofit organizations, and relevant officials in the Obama administration.
If the Senate ratifies the Treaty, the US will join 168 committed countries in sending a powerful message to the tobacco industry: We will not stand by and watch as lung cancer statistics rise around the world. 40% of cancer is preventable, and tobacco control is one of the first and simplest steps we can take to reduce diagnoses and make cancer a national priority.
Round 1 finishes at 5 today! With your help, we can make the Tobacco Treaty a national priority.

We were excited to see him deliver a clear message to Congress saying, "I will not walk away from these Americans and neither should the people in this chamber...Let's get it done."
Despite those strong words, the reality is that we are in serious danger of losing a once-in-a-generation chance to achieve real health care reform. The situation couldn't be more urgent, and we need your help to send a strong message to Congress: Do not give up on health care reform. Will you join us and send your elected officials a clear message to keep up the fight?
