Under your approach, as I understand it, individual breast cancer survivors (and others interested in federal support for treatment and cure research) can individually contact members of congress and say "fund cancer research". But if they form an organization (like the the Susan Komen Fund or the National Breast Cancer Coalition) and come up with a coordinated strategy where they send in a representative to meet with members of congress to propose a specific funding plan, providing arguments in support thereof (facts,figures why the money would be well spent and how it would be accounted for etc), they should be thrown out of the representative's office and told to never ever come back.
