New Name, Same Purple Power

Great news! An amended version of the Pancreatic Cancer Research & Education Act was marked-up and reported out of the Health Subcommittee of the House Energy & Commerce Committee of Congress on Tuesday. The House version is now called Recalcitrant Cancers Research Act (the bill number, H.R. 733, remains the same). Some terminology may be different, and some items have been omitted from the current version, most importantly, the bill still accomplishes our goal to create a long-term, comprehensive plan, or scientific framework, for pancreatic cancer.

You can take action now. Let your Members of Congress know how important this bill is in the fight against pancreatic cancer and that you want to see this legislation passed this year. To write to your member of Congress, go to www.pancan.org/takeaction.

Purple Power works, y'all!
