This is the email I sent in protest to Susan G. Komen:
"Yesterday, I found out that my grandmother has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Since several other women in my family have also suffered from breast cancer, and since it has been over a year since my last breast exam, I contacted my usual provider to schedule one.
Today, I read an article on NPR that indicated your charity is cutting off grants to Planned Parenthood. I URGE you to reconsider. For most of the past ten years, I have been without insurance. During this time, I depended on the services provided by Planned Parenthood. I am shocked and dismayed that a charity that claims to support women's fight against breast cancer would stop funding one of the best outlets that low-income and uninsured women have for early detection. This decision goes against everything your organization claims to be about. Until and unless you reverse this decision, I will channel my donations and volunteer activities toward Planned Parenthood. They are the organization that demonstrates time and again that women's health comes first."
Digital Cameras and Pictures!
The best gifts of all are the ones that boomerang back … and the pictures in your photo journal are an awesome gift! My being thrilled was one wonderful thing … your grandma was sooooooooo delighted! Especially the pix with foxy … especially so many birds so little time!
Whew! I am soooooooo glad the camera works so well. Maveca does have a great digital camera reputation.
