Lance Armstrong Visits Houston Tomorrow

Attention Lance Lovers! Texas' most famous cancer survivor will be visiting Houston tomorrow to lobby in support of Proposition 15. You can click here to read it in its entirety, but it's not any kind of Engrish that we recognize. The short story is that Prop 15, if passed, would result in a constitutional ammendment allowing for obligation bonds to raise money and establishing the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas.

Lance explained the rationale for the tour at his October 2nd press conference.

"We're going to hit the road to urge Texans to vote for Proposition 15 and make an investment in their own lives and the lives of their loved ones," said Armstrong. "Cancer has touched the life of every single Texan and it's the number one killer of people under the age of 85. But in recent years, federal funds to fight cancer are on the decline and it doesn't look like that's going to change. We can't wait for Washington. With Prop 15, Texas is going to lead the charge in the fight against cancer."

Fighting a killer seems to be a pretty solid reason to support the bill. Still not sold? Show up tomorrow and hear what the man's got to say.
