They obviously respond to money. Let them know first hand that no more of yours will go their way.
Don't just talk about it, tell them first hand.

They rescinded the lawsuit after a public outcry. There is real hope here as long as we ALL act and vote with our wallets.
This is what is called "Throwing the baby out with the bathwater" Your actions will result in a tenfold decrease in breast cancer prevention funding. Pat your shortsighted self on the back

Is a half million fewer dollars worth it?

I just heard a story similar to this on NPR. They don't have a link up yet:

Komen reverses, says it will keep funding Planned Parenthood | Newswatch | a Chron.com blog

I don't want money going to a group that wipes out this country's most precious resource - which is its people. We would never let an enemy country do what we pay PP to do to ourselves.

Similar to the left's temper tantrums of the past 2 days?

This move just proves:
1) The Almight Dollar wins out once again
and
2) Bullying is A-OK when it is done by the left!

Komen originally stated it was because PP was being investigated but then said that it was because they didn't give Mammograms.
This article goes back to PP being investigated and they are changing their policy about that. What happened to the Mammogram issue.

The tantrum was thrown by the left, who can't let organizations run themselves.
