Mini what should we do about it?  We have know idea who's reading us-----could be lot's of people producing stuff. I agree absolutely that Komen screwed up with Planned Parenthood.  tHAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE BEST THING THAT HAPPENED TO BC sorry only briefly about caps, hit inadvertantly. But it is a point. Komen screwed up bigtime----heard a NPR thingy I think discussion.-whoe is me if I'm wrong. That it showed how far to the right the organization was and that they did not understand all the services offered to women and that their stance on womens issues was revealed once Brinker(sic) left. So, and well How often do I use those words-----hmmmm .............Well they kept everything  under the radar. Blew it when B left b/c the person below her didn't comprhend what she was doing, And had no comprhesion of Suffrage. The things they don't teach in school and the things people don't know that are in a power position. Had the idiot that replaced B , had a clue about womens issues, she would not have screwed up the Komen outfit. BUT it was to all of our advantage. Yeah, b/c we found out and every one did that the supposed biggest organization supporting women -WASN'T

Barbie I get your response Re: makeup the problem is if you go  to the sites that I have on the arhcive thread ---makes a story for non use of makeup. I have only routinely started to use make up b/c after one round of chemo I went totally gray---many colors of gray and it continues changing----but without makeup I look washed out. Do I care? Only in certain situations. But for anyone else--I care---if they make a choice about a product and don't know that it can harm them---that's wrong. BTW glad to see you back---sassy

Cottontail--Glad to see your back--- you saw my response to Barbie-----yes I agree with you, but each individual has to make a choice. Your statement absolutely suppoirts what I preceive as the goal of the List thread that is linked in the thread header. THE FOUR QUESTIONs RAISED  by Breast Cancer Action Are a critical analysis of what to know---not just foundations---but whomever is doing research or whomever wants to know what kind of research is being done and or if funds are available to individuals to pay bills. The thread is still in the evolving phase. Read what I wrote to Wren. I learned allot in doing those three posts that I had no clue about and putting the thread header together , other than the the four critiacal questions developed by BCA. I have added and changed the header. I will continue to do so..........I see this header as very important, to produce factual information about organisations. That's not easy. It takes research and ability to talk to the leaders of orgs. to say is this corrrect information. But I have learned in this pursuit that sticking to and answering the questions is a major task and resposnsability. 

To me this is a very necessary undertaking to identify organizations that fund BC research and or supply nfunds to BC people. Can't do that by fly by the wind links. Cotton need help as I expressed to Wren. I'll do the work till the header is right or you do and organization and see where the flaws are in the header. Charity navigator does NOT supply the answers to the four questions.---------Getting tired of being serious---want to go play.

Sas, I posted about Love on some thread, but can't find it now. I don't know what the 4 questions are.

Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation funds research directly, including research to find the cause as well as the cure. Her website states that 85 cents of every dollar goes to research. She has some sort of partnership with Avon (which I find ironic). She also has the 'Army of Women' who have signed up to be informed of research projects which need subjects. She sends an e-mail with descriptions and contacts. She is also involved with the 'Health of women' study (how.org). This study is done on-line with plans to follow women for 20 years. This study needs every woman possible: every age, ethnicity, income level, world wide. They are also enrolling high risk men.

Please feel free to copy and past wherever you wish.
