Here is a sample email that you can copy and paste into an email to all of your practice email contacts.

Dear Friend of Cancer Care:

Please join me in signing a petition to ask our elected officials to Stop Cancer Care Cuts. We have the best cancer care in the world but it is now endangered by continuous government cuts to cancer care payments to cancer clinics. Health care reform needs to address the cancer care crisis.

I have joined other Americans in signing a petition that will be sent to policymakers. Please read the Stop Cancer Care Cuts Petition at http://www.communityoncology.org/coa-petition/ and add your name to show your support for the future of cancer care in our country.

Please forward this email to EVERYONE you know. There is a lot of junk email landing in our inboxes that people ask to forward. This is one, however, that every American should see and judge for themselves.

Thank you!
