REQUEST from Our Friend Jane Hamscher at FireDogLake

This is an issue I feel passionately about. I have always directed a good deal of our donations to benefit this worthy cause. However, not only will I not contribute another dime directly, I will also not indirectly contribute by actively boycotting all that gimmicky "buy pink" products that flood the market in October until Mrs. LIEberman is disassociated with your organization, and I will actively encourage others to do so as well. ...@LLPrater

Here ya go.....
Thanks so much for signing our petition asking the Susan G. Komen foundation to remove Hadassah Lieberman as a "global ambassador" for the organization.

Forward the email below to your friends and family and ask them to do the same. 

Thanks!

Hi,

Are you aware that the wife of Joe Lieberman - the man who once campaigned to eliminate the filibuster but is now threatening to use it against a public option - is a compensated "Global Ambassador" for Susan G. Komen for the cure?

As the world's biggest breast cancer charity, Susan G. Komen for the cure has thrown considerable weight behind ensuring that any reform bill that comes out of Congress serves to improve the lives of their dependents.  So why is Susan G. Komen for the cure using donations to pay the salary of Hadassah Lieberman, wife of Joe Lieberman, who pledged to kill any bill including a public option? 

Will you sign our letter to Susan G. Komen for the cure, asking for Mrs. Lieberman to step down as a compensated "Global Ambassador?"

Sign our letter to Susan G. Komen for the cure today:

"Mrs. Lieberman's relationship with Susan G. Komen for the cure is unethical and misleading.  Important and often very personal donations made to Susan G. Komen for the cure to benefit the sick and dying are essentially undermining their intended use.  And as Hadassah travels the globe under the banner of Susan G. Komen for the cure, decrying the inadequecies of our health care system and the desperate need to reform it, her husband is at home to kill the reform efforts we so desperately need.

I call for Susan G. Komen for the cure to ask Hadassah Lieberman to step down as a "Global Ambassador" for the organization in light of the inherent conflict of interest her continued presence brings."

Join us in calling on Susan G. Komen for the cure to remove Mrs. Lieberman as a compensated "Global Ambassador."
