Supporting Planned Parenthood is great, but it isn't enough.
When the Susan G. Komen Foundation decided to defund PP ostensibly over a right-wing "investigation" that originated with the anti-choice forces in the Republican House of Representatives, we knew it was politics, even before we knew that SGK hired a new Senior VP a few months ago, a failed Republican gubernatorial candidate from Georgia named Karen Handel, whose platform had included defunding Planned Parenthood.
We want the Susan G. Komen Foundation to understand exactly how bad their error of judgment has been.
Tools for this endeavor are provided after the jump.
So here's the play.
Make a donation to Planned Parenthood in memory of Susan G. Komen, using this page:

That link will take you to a page that looks like this.

Fill out the left side of the form as pictured, then select or fill in the amount you wish to give, your personal information, and your credit card information.
Planned Parenthood then processes your gift in memory of Susan Komen, and sends a tasteful acknowledgment to Karen Handel. I want the Postal Service to he hauling sacks and sacks of those acknowledgments to her door.
Don't you?
Here's that link again.
You know what to do. Even if you've already given to PP in the last 48 hours in response to this outrage, please consider slipping them a few more bucks, so one more acknowledgment will land on Karen Handel.
Thanks!
