filkertomIf you haven't already heard, the Susan G. Komen For The Cure foundation has cut ties to Planned Parenthood.
Their stated excuse is that they don't want to be associated with an organization under Congressional investigation. Of course, the reason Planned Parenthood is under Congressional investigation is that Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-FL) wants to stop funding to Planned Parenthood. For more info, click this diary at dKos.

It’s rare when you see such a high profile organization shit the bed so spectacularly particularly in the case where people can not only refuse to donate to the Komen Foundation, but also boycott all the products that carry the Komen Pink Ribbon of Caring logo, for which the Komen people are paid handsomely.TBogg also recommends making an Honorary Donation to Planned Parenthood and requesting a thank-you card be sent to:
