For this past supporter, the Komen organization is dead to me.
“For this past supporter, the Komen organization is dead to me.”
My sister is a breast cancer survivor. I will gladly give to EVERYOTHER breast cancer research group. Komen will never see one dime from me! They lost their focus long ago! -more about politics than cancer research. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out about large salaries for their top execs.
Not one dime!
In response to questions Wednesday about the controversy, Komen spokeswoman Andrea Rader said ‘‘I think Liz (Thompson) made clear in her statement that we feel that we've moved past that.’’
This is just an organizational ploy to give the unsuspecting donor some false sense that Komen is actually doing something about their egregious support for PP. These two women aren't going anywhere, and, by the tone of this "we've moved past that" statement, they haven't learned one bit except that their donations have suffered.
The foundation has invested $1.3 billion in community programs over 30 years to pay for screenings, education, and financial and psychological support for those fighting breast cancer, according to Komen’s statement.
How much of this did Planned Parenthood get? What did PP spend it on? I don't know any women who went there but I'd guess that likely very few of them got a mammogram. Komen shows by its actions, its tricks and its silence on present PP support it is just an organization that is rife with liberal ideological dogma. They only did this to continue the money stream.. Not buying that line here.
I have also donated to Komen in the past. Never again.
In that 3 days when I thought Komen had seen the light, I signed up to walk a third time. So I get the emails and I’ve done most of the training but I haven’t raised a dime. I’m pretty comfortable with that.
