FW: Susan G Komen backs down on Planned Parenthood

We've donated to planned parenthood before without any spam or email issues. The time a donation did result in a lot spam was when we made one to the Smithsonian. That said we made a $50 donation to Planned Parenthood yesterday. Given that themKomen foundation's board is mostly made up of former Bushies and current radical rethuglicans, we have never made a donation. Given this recent debacle they never will see anything from us. > > Curious, we've donated money and also donated time doing mailings and > whatnot and haven't had a problem with political junk mail.
