To: Pennsylvania State Senator John R. Gordner We, the undersigned, support Presumptive Cancer Legislative Pennsylvania HouseBill 1768. We believe this bill should be brought out of committee and put onto the floor for a vote by the Pennsylvania State Senate in September 2008. We believe holding this bill in committee is an injustice to all Pennsylvania Fire Fighters, both career and volunteer. By signing this petition, we are expressing our deep concern over this matter.

Seeing one hundred people put their name behind this bill hits home because I know firsthand how much our firefighters risk every single shift. Thank you for helping me push for the recognition these heroes deserve.

These guys run into burning buildings while everyone else is running out. The least we can do is give them proper health coverage.

Stop dragging your feet. Its a shame they have to fight for this when they are already fighting cancer.

My husband has been a volunteer for 15 years. This shouldn't even be a question. Pass the bill already.
