This wasn't my idea, I am stealing if from a few other DUers. First, Are Grist Groceries wrote about her letter to the foundation sent through their website at http://ww5.komen.org/Contact.aspx .

Heres a solution to their stupidity:
You can make a donation to Planned Parenthood and request a thank you card be sent to:
Karen Handel
Senior VP of Fail
c/o Susan G. Komen Foundation
P.O. Box 650309
Dallas, TX 75265-0309
USE YOUR VOICE, DUers! Contact the SGK Foundation and tell them what you think of their allowing Karen Handel to throw poor women under the bus to satisfy her own political agenda!

(14,040 posts)After your decision to defund Planned Parenthood on the basis of their being investigated, I'd like to know when you are going to defund Penn State? Surely, a real investigation such as the Penn State scandal, rather than the made up investigation into Planned Parenthood is more worthy of being defunded. And it would allow you to give that $7 million grant to a university more deserving, right?
I will no longer support your organization and I won't support your corporate sponsors because you've proven with this action that you don't really care about women or breast cancer; instead you are more concerned about politics than saving lives.
