Never again!

I’ll just hang up the phone an toss the mailer when these guys come asking for donations!

[freespirited]

No doubt in my mind that the ACS is doing this because there is something in it for them.

[stubernx98]

Yup, they are off my list.

I tell them to get their donations from Obama - quit calling me.

FWIW, Cancer will never be cured. There is too much money being made on it now. The research over the years must have cost in the several Trillion range.

NEVER

GOING

The American Cancer Society has been more political lobbyist than anything else for a very long time. If they actually did find a cure for cancer, the entire organization would have no reason to exist.

[The4thHorseman]

Yep, when I heard about this, I told my husband I wouldn’t give them another penny (and I’ve been a pretty good donor to them over the years).

All Freepers should be educating themselves about what exactly these “non-profits” are— they are political entities with HUGE investments in DC and what goes on in government. IN MANY CASES, they are even government contractors! They are NOT charities, they are NOT research organizations. They are non-profit associations which have fancy BUILDINGS, STAFF, and political ties they must constantly maintain. THey have HUGE budgets, many bigger than corporate entities of comparable size that are involved in production. This is a huge NON-Producing sector of the DC area economy and it needs a big AXE. Your tax dollars are paying for total nonsense delivered by these entities. This goes for American Medical Association, AARP, and almost any outfit with “American” in its title, unfortunately. Look, the rest of the country cannot even imagine how Washington really works, and if you all discovered it, you would be so mad, you wouldn’t be here FReeping. But make no mistake — these “non-profits” are in MANY cases, arms of political activity and money-laundering for grants and federal monies. Capital Research Center does good research on these entities.

We need a list of all the organizations that sold out to Obamacare.

Snippet of email I received (because I sponsored someone in a Breast Cancer Walk):

I’ve got great news. On Saturday, the House of Representatives passed the Affordable Health Care for America Act -- a critical step for helping cancer patients receive affordable health care.
Now the bad news -- your member of Congress didn’t support his monumental piece of legislation. Will you send your representative a quick note and let him or her know how disappointed you are?
www.acscan.org/voted-no
The House of Representatives will still need to vote one more time on a final health care bill before it reaches the President’s desk. Encouraging your representative to switch his or her vote now will help make sure we win that last vote.
We couldn’t have gotten this far without you. Thanks for being a part of our team.

I say click that link to the "NO" votes and send as many as you can a supportive email. ACS does not get another dime from me.

[randita]

Is there another cancer organization that isn’t as political?

[mort56]

They will never get another dime from me.

[Adder]

Get your donations from Zero and the insane clown posse.

I won’t be able to afford to make any anymore because I have to pay for my healthcare and several others, too.

[Da Coyote]

Didn’t know they endorsed ObamaloonCare.

Thanks for the update, my contributions to them have now ceased.

Forever.
