Ok still no news on the baby front, other than we are STILL anxiously awaiting the arrival of little Marshall. Mandy has been fighting off a cold, which I feel really bad about because she cannot take anything to help relieve symptoms! So if everyone can chant with me "Marshall, Marshall, Marshall" LOL.
With less than 60 days to go before the general election, we want to encourage everyone to GET OUT AND VOTE this year! Regardless of your political views, and regardless which side you are for, I think it is safe enough to say, this year your vote matters. Here in Ohio, you have until October 6th to get registered. In Franklin County you can register or check your registration by going here (http://vote.franklincountyohio.gov/voter-services/), in Delaware County - (http://www.co.delaware.oh.us/boe/voter.asp). Please check with your state or local municipality about registering to vote (if you are not already).
Also, be certain to tune into the Presidential and VP debates. They are
Presidential Debates
Jim Lehrer, Sept. 26, at Ole Miss.
Tom Brokaw, Oct. 7, in Nashville
Bob Schieffer, Oct. 15, at Hofstra.
Vice Presidential Debate
Gwen Ifill, Oct. 2, at Wash. U in St. Louis
My biggest interest in this election is more about Health care and Education. Mandy's may be different as we all have our own personal agenda's when selecting our leaders. As was mentioned on the Stand up 2 cancer program, insurance only pays for 3% of clinical trials (fortunately my clinical trial fell within that 3%). Ask any oncologist, lab tech, doctor, or nurse and they will tell you this about cancer -- a clinical trial is your best bet to be cured! For this very reason, I eagerly want to hear how each candidate will "CHANGE" the insurance industry to meet this. I am hoping since both candidates have been impacted by cancer in their lives, they are going to push through some ground breaking legislation to remedy this.
Lastly -- The big game is this weekend (OSU vs USC) and without Beanie in the line up for the first time in a long time I don't feel hopeful about our chances. But of course I will still be cheering for them like a mad man... GO BUCKS!

Hey Dave.
The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Advocacy Committee is their political arm. They're involved in a bunch of issues, ranging from raising awareness by trying to get states to declare September as official blood cancer awareness month, to letter writing campaigns to support a bill that will force insurance companies to cover clinical trials. I'm hoping both of the "change candidates" will support it. The LLS advicacy page is at:

Hope all you readers will check it out.
Keep up the good work, guys.
