Vote Thompson for a Cure
Seriously … I just read that Republican presidential candidate, Tommy Thompson, announced he’d put “vast resources” towards finding a cure for breast cancer by 2015.
Thompson’s wife, mother-in-law and daughter all had breast cancer. That’s heartbreaking. “I pledge to all women here to come up with a cure to breast cancer,” said Thompson on Monday at a restaurant in Iowa. While I was prepared to get all ‘who the heck can promise that’ and be all uppity about it, I read his personal connection towards the disease and my heart went out to him. His passion for our plight is sincere, I’m sure of that, if nothing else.
Then I visited his campaign site and found two fantastic links:
His My Space page with video and Google maps. LOVE it..
His flickr account with all kinds of photos. Hysterical that this guy uses flickr.
Let’s watch this guy, and see how he does, shall we?
