    When it comes to clapping at #SOTU, @RepTomPrice is resolute: one of the few who did not applaud the idea of curing cancer.

        exactly, every dollar taken by NPR is a dollar that could cure cancer. I guess they don't care.

        Thankfully @RepTomPrice doesn't believe that all that's stopping a cure for cancer is a dimwitted President with a pen & a phone
