Here's my e-mail:
I will not donate 1 cent of money to Susan B. Komen for the Cure. Furthermore, I will GO OUT OF MY WAY to avoid purchasing "pink" products were some of the profits go to Susan B. Komen for the Cure and will write to the companies that participate in that promotion during NBCAM whose products I normally purchase and explain to them why I am boycotting their products during that period. I will not sponsor anyone who participates in a Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure. In short, I will do everything in my power to ensure that not a single penny of my money ever comes anywhere near Susan B. Komen for the Cure. Instead every penny of money which might have possibly made it into your coffers, I will donate to Planned Parenthood.
I am disgusted and horrified by your hypocritical, anti-women's-health decision not to renew your grants to Planned Parenthood. Clearly the personal ideology of your vice president trumps the needs of thousands of low income women who rely on Planned Parenthood for their breast cancer screenings. Your actions indicate that you are clearly anti-women and you are not actually interested in curing breast cancer but are, instead, primarily interested in promoting reactionary policies which are dangerous to women's health.
I will fight you with every breath in my body.
