Desperate Housewives" star Marcia Cross joined Lifetime, Senator Landrieu (D-LA) and Representatives DeLauro (D-CT) and Moran (R-KS), at a Capitol Hill press conference on Wednesday, January 23, to give voice to the 20 million signatures collected on myLifetime.com urging Congress to end the practice of “drive-through” mastectomies, when women are forced to leave the hospital following their physically and emotionally difficult breast cancer surgeries before they and their doctors may feel they are ready to go home. Senator Landrieu and Representatives DeLauro and Moran are championing the bipartisan Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act of 2007 (S.459/H.R 758), which includes no mandates but allows a woman and her doctor to decide if she is best off going home or staying in the hospital for at least 48 hours after having a mastectomy.

Re: PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION...AND
Fri, March 7, 2008 - 7:57 AMAlways happy to sign a petition in a good cause, though I remain sceptical as to how much anyone will pay attention in the halls of power. I believe, however, that the people at large are beginning to lose patience with policies, laws, programs,politicians and corporations that diss the people they are supposed to help and will eventually refuse to put up with any more. At some point, the fat cats will HAVE to respond, if only for their own protection.
What if someone just started a program of assassinations aimed at those who callously ignore the welfare of people in their "care?"
