I fully agree with the above statement. There are a great many components in evaluating a candidate for any office. Support for the conquest of any disease or type of disease does certainly not by itself provide sufficient merit to any candidate. In my mind a good candidate should have a record of honesty and integrity and should champion my values in the performance of his duties. My values are very personal and does include a strong interest in preserving good health and clean environment in and out of the home. Being good to your mother and loving apple pie does not cut it here. Michel
