Their decision to stop funding to any group that is working with stem cells is also troubling to me. They certainly have the right to stop funding any group they want. And people have the right to stop giving them money if they don't like the decisions. The decision itself is different than I wo

And they use a HUGE amount of those donations to pay their legal fees, business fees, salaries, etc. All in the name of the "cause". Not that they don't do any good, but I wonder how much MORE good they could do if they didn't waste resources. Which is why I'd always rather donate directly to a p

I've been uneasy about the Komen foundation for awhile. I know they are trying to do something worthwhile but it's gotten a real big business feel to it as it has grown. They sue people for using "for the cure" in any way, they seem to have a veritable monopoly on the color pink...just because som

The Decemberists (whose keyboardist, Jennie Conley has recently undergone chemo for breast cancer) announced yesterday that they are redirecting all the money from their breast cancer fundraising efforts to Planned Parenthood. Probably lots more that we don't know about and it all adds up. Judah

I wonder how many big donors to Komen more than likely called up and pulled their future donations, telling them they'd send it to Planned Parenthood instead. Would love to have been a fly on the wall in their offices these past few days... On Fri, Feb 3, 2012 at 11:52 AM, William Bowen wrote:
