Hi marco, Yesterday Senator Joe Lieberman pledged to vote against the current health care bill. This should surprise no one; his intent has been to kill the bill from day one. What should surprise you is that donations to find a cure for cancer are paying the salary of Hadassah Lieberman, wife of Joe and former employee of the insurance and pharmaceutical lobbying complex. We're calling on Susan G. Komen for the Cure and its celebrity endorsers to remove Hadassah Lieberman as a compensated "Global Ambassador." Will you join us? Hadassah Lieberman's relationship with Susan G. Komen for the Cure is unethical and misleading. Important and often very personal donations made to Susan G. Komen for the Cure to benefit the sick and dying are essentially undermining their intended use. Hadassah Lieberman has worked for the insurance-pharmaceutical-lobbying complex, making her role with with Susan G. Komen for the Cure already questionable. And as Hadassah travels the globe under the banner of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, decrying the inadequecies of our health care system and the need to reform it, her husband is at home to kill the reform efforts we so desperately need. People who are racing for the cure wouldn't be racing to pay Hadassah Lieberman money, especially if they knew her ties to the same corporations that are blocking women's health reforms currently being debated in Congress. Join our call to Susan G. Komen for the Cure to remove Hadassah Lieberman as a compensated "Global Ambassador" because of her inherent conflicts of interest. Thanks for all you do.
