Candace recently did an ad for "No on One," which is an attempt by the manufacturers of beer, soda and wine to repeal a beverage tax that helps fund the Dirigo Health Program. Sis was able to afford health care thanks to Dirigo (she joined a month before being diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma).
The beverage industry has been pumping millions into "Yes on One" with the simple slogan "Are you tired of taxes? Vote Yes on one." Nowhere do they state that this tax will fund such an important health care program.
You can see Candace's ad here. Her ad is the second one on the page. It's so cool to see her in it!
She is sort of like the poster child for the program because without it, she couldn't have received the care she did and she may not have won her battle with cancer. She's been very active in meeting with her local representative and fighting to keep the program alive.
It's a frightening prospect to think that the health care program could lose its funding, so I HOPE HOPE HOPE Mainers vote No tomorrow!

Candace Kuchinski
Dennis and I wanted to share a little about the amazing person battling this scary disease:
Candace lives in South Thomaston, ME with Dennis and their black lab Sadie. We moved around a lot, so she experienced life in various parts of northern and southern California as well as Rhode Island before the family finally settled in Maine.
Candace attended the University of New Hampshire where she majored in Zoology. An elective class in photography her Senior year revealed her true passion, so Candace continued her photographic studies in Maine.
Along with photography, she is an avid snow boarder and sailor and has a deep love of all things canine. So much so, that she started her own dog walking, pet sitting business in 2005.
Candace has always had a great attitude and exuberance for living. She loves the outdoors and being with friends and family. She also loves a good laugh and is not afraid to be a goofball.
As a sister, she has been such a support throughout the years and the many moves. We never fought growing up and always looked out for each other. I feel so privileged to have such a wonderful person in my life – and you should, too!
Dennis has told me that my sister is “the most beautiful woman in the world” and he always asks me if I know how much he loves my sister. To see them together is a real treat because you can see the absolute joy they get from each other. I am glad sis has such a strong and loving person in her life.
