Review for AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY CANCER ACTION NETWORK INC, Washington, DC, USA
The original American Cancer Society was a great private charity dedicated to the fight against cancer. Many of us have lost someone we care about to cancer or at the very least seen someone we love struggle to battle it. I've personally donated substantially to the ACS to help find a cure and help those currently struggling. I've also coordinated and funded direct support to families in need impacted by cancer and will continue to do so in the future.
The American Cancer Society Cancer Action network, though affiliated with the ACS is a very different organization than the ACS. It is a political action network with a stated purpose to expand coercive taking of money and limit personal freedom. For some, this violence based approach is justified since the goal of helping cancer patients and their families is in itself a worthy cause. However, for those of us that abhor violence and the threat of violence, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action network is an organization that should be strongly opposed.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Abolish it and redouble efforts under the umbrella of the original ACS to educate the public and provide funding for promising research and help families impacted by cancer.
