KEITH THE CANDIDATE ROTHFUS! DID YOU EVER HEAR OF THE FRIENDS OF CANCER RESEARCH? YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE A CONGRESSMAN OR A MEMBER OF THE BELTWAY ELITE TO JOIN THIS WONDERFUL ADOVACY GROUP! KEITH ROTHFUS, WHY HAVE YOU BEEN MIA IN THE BATTLE TO SUPPORT CANCER RESEARCH? OUR AREA EMPLOYS MANY IN WORLD-CLASS CANCER RESEARCH, PARTIALLY FUNDED BY GOVERNMENT GRANTS! IS YOUR TOTAL LACK OF INTEREST IN CANCER RESEARCH BECAUSE PAUL RYAN AND YOUR TEA PARTY FRIENDS WANT TO GUT THE NIH’S BUDGET? WE HAVE REACHED OUT MICHAEL DOUGLAS. WE HOPE HE IS AS APPALLED AS WE ARE IN YOUR CAMPAIGN’S EFFORTS TO PLAY THE CANCER CARD AND EXPLOIT CANCER SURVIVORSHIP FOR PURELY PARTISAN POLITICAL PURPOSES WHICH CUTS CANCER RESEARCH AND DENIES ACCESS TO THE POOR! MR. DOUGLAS MAY BE SOON GRACING THE BURGH WITH A VISIT! WHEN MICHAEL DOUGLAS COMES TO TOWN MR. ROTHFUS, YOU WILL HAVE NOTHING TO BLAME BUT THE HYPOCRICY AND DESPARATION OF YOUR OWN CRUSADE TO RETURN TO THE BELTWAY!

WE CITIZEN JOURNALISTS WANT TO SUMMARIZE SOME POINTS WE MADE EARLIER IN THE WEEK! 1. WE SALUTE ALL CANCER SURVIVORS INCLUDING KEITH THE CANDIDATE ROTHFUS. WE ADMIRE THE COURAGE OF ANYONE WHO HAS HAD TO FACE THIS MALADY. 2. WE ARE APPALLED THAT KEITH THE CANDIDATE ROTHFUS HAS CHOSEN TO EXPLOIT HIS CANCER SURVIVOR STATUS FOR PARTISAN POLITICAL PURPOSES. 3. THE ROTHFUS CAMPAIGN’S DECISION TO PLAY THE CANCER CARD IS EVEN MORE GALLING WHEN MR. ROTHFUS HAS BEEN MIA IN THE FIGHT LOCALLY FOR BETTER CANCER CARE, SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH TO FIGHT CANCER, AND CANCER PREVENTION. LEADING UP TO THE TAMPA RNC CONVENTION AND MR. ROTHFUS’S BRIEF ADDRESS, WE CITIZEN JOURNALISTS INTEND TO EDUCATE THE FORMER EMPLOYEE OF PAT ROBERTSON ON OPPORTUNITIES TO JOIN IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER. LET’S START WITH UPCI THE AFFILIATE OF UPMC, OUR LARGEST EMPLOYER IN THE REGION AND A WORLD-CLASS MEDICAL SYSTEM. MR. ROTHFUS YOUR ETERNAL CRUSADE TO RETURN TO THE BELTWAY HAS NOT IMPROVED THE LIFE OF ONE CANCER VICTIM!
