WE CONTINUE TO BE STOPPED IN OUR PROGRESS BECAUSE OF LACK OF FUNDING

IN THE UNITED STATES THE SCARCITY OF FUNDING HAS BECOME A HINDRANCE TO THE CURE PROMPTING THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY TO LAUNCH A TELEVISION CAMPAIGN  ASKING PEOPLE TO TAKE THIS CAUSE BACK TO THE STREET.  THE AMERICAN CONGRESS IS SHACKLED IN DIVISIONS THAT HAVE NOW BECOME VISCERAL AND NONSENSICAL.  AMERICA HAS LOST ITS DREAMERS AND THEREFORE ITS INSPIRING IDEALS.  UNDER THE PRETENSE OF FINANCIAL PRUDENCE, DREAMS ARE ALLOWED TO DIE, CURE LET TO ESCAPE ONE MORE DAY, AND CANCER VICTIMS ARE LET TO DIE IN THE PROCESS!  (WE NEED LINCOLN BACK!)
"LET'S GET LOUD" THE CANCER AGENCY ADVOCATES, AND THE CRBCM SUPPORTS THE MOVEMENT!
ANOTHER COMPONENT TO THE PROBLEM, WITH SCARCITY COME MORE POLITICAL FAVORS, MORE DISCRIMINATION AND DISPARITY IN GRANT ALLOCATIONS.  THE CRBCM DOES NOT EXPECT ANYTHING AT PRESENT.  THE IRS IS STILL FIGHTING US BY SHACKLING OUR 501 STATUS.  SUPPRESSION OF MINORITY RESEARCH POTENTIAL COMES IN ALL UGLY FORMS!  WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN UNTIL THEIR PLAY BECOME IRRELEVANT TO THE COURSE OF HISTORY!  CPRIT HAS PLAYED FAVORITISM, LOOK WHERE THEY ARE...DO THE RIGHT THING PEOPLE, NO ONE HAS REACHED THE MOON BY FAULTY MATH BECAUSE NATURE IS WATCHING!  AT THE CRBCM, THE FIGHT IS ON, WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE AND STAY IN
THE GAME UNTIL OUR VOICE IS HEARD, UNTIL OUR ENEMIES BECOME IRRELEVANT AND UNTIL WE ARE ALLOWED TO RISE!

"I say to you today, my friends that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream"

Christmas Reflections at CRBCM!

"I say to you today, my friends that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream" and with this dream we will rise again to fight another day because we have understood that as long as we live another day, a door may be opened again, another chance may come along, we got to stay prepared and keep looking forward for an opportunity.  There are in life many pits, but all have a bottom here on earth, and even in the darkness of those pits, as long as we live, our imagination will help us rise again.  It is our call, the cause is too important to quit.
Those who came before us have left these words because they lived the horrors of life, went through them and came out the other side still whole.  They left these words so that we do not give up, but instead keep strategizing even when faced by a wall of negative forces.  We need to keep on advancing because only positive steps can generate new consequences.  Not doing a thing is to lose control of the outcome.  So at CRBCM we believe in new steps until life is irreversibly taken from us.  So in these Christmas days, let celebrate persistence and resolve.  What we fight against will not go away until we stand up to it!  Merry Christmas to all.

IT IS A CIVIL RIGHT ISSUE, CURE OF CANCER FOR VULNERABLE POPULATION.

We have found an El Paso Chapter of the NAACP.  We at CRBCM have understood that the field is not leveled given the limited funds available.  Larger organizations will crush us and lead us to oblivion.  But we will fight until the enemies relent!  They have built futile barriers and discriminatory processes to shield us away from participation, they have put propaganda to cast doubt in the community while they are ripping the goods!  What they are afraid of is the competition in this race for the cure!  What they don't know  is that they cannot deny the facts that some people are more vulnerable to cancers, and that huge institutions gobbling up all the resources do not necessarily you in mind as a priority.  Do not believe that someone else will think of you as a priority.  The proof is in the pudding!  EL PASO HAS BEEN FORGOTTEN.  CPRIT SENT LESS THEN 1 PERCENT OF CLOSE TO A BILLION DOLLARS TO EL PASO WHICH IS THE 6TH LARGEST CITY IN TEXAS! AND IT IS NOT BECAUSE EL PASO DID NOT ASK FOR THE MONEY.   GRANT APPLICATIONS ARE BEING SYSTEMATICALLY REJECTED AT THE HEST OF SO-CALLED REVIEWERS WHO ARE UNIVERSITY BIASED REPRESENTATIVES!  OTHER APPLICATIONS ARE "ADMINISTRATIVELY WITHDRAWN" WITHOUT ANY REVIEW!  They call a party, but El Paso is not allowed to dance and show how good it is really.  Not even a chance to be reviewed!

They claim we have been removed from the competition because the Coalition did not have a product to be produced!  What is services to our community?  Under the survivorship program well detailed in our plan, most of the services are reimbursed by the federal government. This will assure survival and revenues for El Paso.  No, in their mind, services are not a product. They prefer gambling away money in research that will yield less 10-20% possible return in 10-15 years.  At the pace of progress,  most of these research RESULTS will be old by then.  Changes need to be implemented today to yield results in the near future.  Lifestyle need modifications today for a better Texas tomorrow.   If we agree that close to 3000 African women are dying yearly  from a breast cancer that could be prevented, when do you prefer having a solution? Now or in 10 years?  At CRBCM we believe that denying people participation in a race for the cure, is a civil right issue.  We call to the senses of our leaders to take positive steps to reduce politics!

Greed has entered the fray. Universities are shaping and packaging their products to fit funding requirements.
Since the old CPRIT was avidly gobbling up companies located outside Texas, old patents/research products developed in Texas, are quickly being sold to outside Companies so that CPRIT money is relocating these old patents to Texas!  and believe this, this has been funded reportedly! And funded 5 times the millions it was originally sold by the TEXAS university!  Do not tease me because I have the facts!  CPRIT now has been renovated, the new CPRIT will not let itself untangled in politics, at least we believe and hope!

We will continue our planned talk with the local chapter of the NAACP, because it is a CIVIL RIGHTS' issue to protect women from a disease they could be saved from today!

Reflections at the CRBCM

Doing the right thing no matter what because you have a conscience to live with, and because the joy of winning through politics are generally short lived, the truth will catch up with you soon enough.  You will have to cave in.  Acting in the wrong direction because you can, you will have a day of reckoning because you will not know when to stop.   You will cross the line one day and get burned. When you win because you can is not enough, you will continue to believe the wrong is right until you hit the wall, and you will end up backtracking and have to apologize or disappear in disgrace.  If your aim is to profiteer no matter what, do realize that if you choose a cynical way of winning, you lose control of the nature of the outcome and its consequences.  That is when the truth will come to claim its place, you may end up in a harder place than when you first started gambling.  Remember real life is not to be lived like a poker game where you have to win no matter what, life is to be lived with as much closeness to the truth as possible because you have a conscience, and because we all have to account soon or later!

Reminder as needs still huge: Border Women Strike for Visibility

By Ambreen Ali Nov. 16, 2010 – 10:46 a.m.

The Obamas had visitors waiting for them when they returned from their Asia trip this week.
Eight women from El Paso, Texas, have been holding daily vigils outside the White House since Nov. 8 in an effort to get government funding for their community.
They have also been on a hunger strike since that date, relying on water and a mixture of water, sugar and salt to restore electrolytes.
It’s a drastic step for what they say is a desperate situation — unemployment and poverty levels that are among the highest in the country.

“We’re basically invisible,” Lorena Andrade, one of the activists. “We had to come here to make ourselves visible.”
The group called La Mujer Obrera, or The Working Woman, wants Congress and the White House to fund a commission that would direct development funds to the border community.
One model could be the Appalachian Regional Commission, set up by President John F. Kennedy in 1964. The women hope President Barack Obama or the first lady will consider a trip to the region such as the one that inspired Kennedy to create the panel.
They delivered a letter to Michelle Obama on Monday, appealing to her woman to woman.
“We are not victims,” they wrote. “We are rebuilding our communities with dignified courage. As women, we know we have and are exercising, the right to determine our own destiny.”
El Paso’s Rep. Silvestre Reyes, a Democrat, helped set up a government commission for the region’s development, but it remains unfunded.
La Mujer Obrera has three demands: for the government to organize a summit of federal agencies to discuss border needs, set aside money for the border commission, and promise to include local women in the decision making.
They have already laid out those demands in meetings with the Departments of Agriculture, Treasury, and Housing and Urban Development. They expect to meet with the State Department later this week.
The women say they want to be home for Thanksgiving, but they are willing to stay if their demands are not met.
“We get a lot of support and acknowledgment but we want something in writing,” Rubi Orozco, a spokeswoman for the group, said. “We have left before with that kind of pat on the head, and it doesn’t materialize into anything.”
Orozco said there was an irony in border residents having such few resources when so much money is spent on border security.
“The region gets loads of money but it goes to the fence and security,” she said, adding that the jobs for those projects rarely go to locals.
Many of the women active with the group are former garment workers who lost their jobs when the factories in their area moved to Mexico.
Today, they have refurbished those factories into day care centers and shops to sell imported artisan handiwork from Mexico.
“This is another definition to border security,” Cindy Alford, also with the group, said. “Genuine border security has to include sustainable communities.”http://www.congress.org/news/border-women-strike-for-visibility/
