One of the options in the message form lets you select the reason for your contact. In that list is a good option for your message: "Report Improper Conduct."

I wrote that I consider their ending support for a breast examination program by Planned Parenthood to be "improper conduct of the highest order." Then I said that I would withhold all support for their organization until they corrected this misconduct.

4. I let them know that I have contacted every woman I know with this

from the Huffington Post:

Komen's new vice president, Karen Handel, had run for governor of Georgia in 2010 on an aggressively anti-abortion and anti-Planned Parenthood platform and was endorsed by Sarah Palin because of her opposition to reproductive choice. Handel wrote in her campaign blog that she "do[es] not support the mission of Planned Parenthood."

Daughters, granddaughters, sisters, aunts, nieces, and all women friends!!

5. Brinker loves money, this new VP won't be there long. This is really bad PR

for the race and as the warmer weather has a lot of upcoming races, lower participants will be noticeable. Hope she gets the message.

6. Thanks...I notiecd that...

You don't have to give your contact info if you choose that option...you can send them SEVERAL messages that way.

7. I always give my contact information, though.

If I care enough to send a message, I want that message to be from me, not someone anonymous. Everyone has different ideas about that, though.
