What do these people want? The package to be black with a skull and bones on it with a label saying "Cancer"?

How do you boycott the American Cancer Society? Lace your home with asbestos and put UV lamps in all your light fixtures?

It's too bad no one's focusing on the real scandal in this story: the fact that a private organization has to clear it with the government before launching any kind of message campaign, if it might somehow influence the outcome of legislation.
The total-staters have definitely figured out the best way to get conservatives on board with their agenda: Make liberals their first victims. They know how well it worked with Martha Stewart.

I have not donated to them since they started diverting massive funds for political activism as opposed to cancer research.
Fraud is the word that comes to mind...lobbying paid for out of donations for research, and presented as "public education".

"We know people lose their lives to secondhand smoke and we see it as our obligation to protect those people from getting sick or dying," said Karen Becker, spokeswoman for the American Cancer Society of New York and New Jersey, which supports New Jersey's proposed indoor smoking ban.And they wonder why we're pissed off at them.

Back in the late 70's my mother eventually died from bone cancer. While she was in her last year of life, my stepfather asked for assistance from the ACS due to the fact they could not afford the $300 per week chemo therapy she needed. They got no response but hey, thats the way it goes......
Just like all these other alleged do-good foundations, the folks at the top are rolling in dough while the folks the fund was intended to help are still dying and exhausting their life savings.........
In my opinion, the American Cancer Society is the most over rated non-profit org in existence today..........
