Susan G. Komen Listened. Have You Responded?
Yesterday, the Susan G. Komen Foundation announced it would stop giving money to Planned Parenthood. Conservatives have been pushing on this issue for a while.
As a result of the announcement, the left has gone on the attack. It is important that you who wanted Komen to do this say thank you. You can email them at news@Komen.org.
More importantly, you can donate to them. If you are not willing to support an organization that takes a stand you want when they come under attack, you cannot be surprised when less organizations listen to you.
Great point

paint_it_red (Diary) Tuesday, January 31st at 11:42PM EST (link)I was overjoyed at seeing the news on this one, both because it is great news in and of itself, and because to me at least, it came as such a welcome surprise.
I had not thought to write them or donate though until I read your post. I have now done so.
Now let’s just get the abortionists tentacles out of Amnesty International, Girl Scouts, the public fisc, and most importantly – the law.
