On March 16th, I sent this email letter to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, but I have yet to hear back from them. I’m hoping my letter was received.

I made a call today to one of their PR people, Rebecca Gibson, and left a message inquiring if my letter was received. The Susan G. Komen Foundation has done such amazing work educating and unifying women in the fight against breast cancer, I believe they will be sincerely concerned to learn that 3.5 million Californian women are going to be exposed to a xenochemical in the LBAM aerial spray substance which causes breast cancer. It’s an unbelievable risk for all of we women.

I am sure that this foundation must have so many supporters and members in California. If it seems good to you, why not give their PR rep a call yourself, at 1 (972)855-4319 and share with them what is happening to us here in California? Publicity and protest are so needed here and this foundation has done such praiseworthy work in the past. You might like to mention that the Breast Cancer Fund has already come out in strong opposition to the spraying.

One of the things that has been so hard for me to face in this crisis has been the dismissal of whole groups of society as apparently unworthy of consideration. Children…the elderly…people with illnesses….women, all of whom are susceptible to breast cancer - these are not ’small minorities’ who might be adversely affected by pesticide exposure. These people are our society, and it is the hallmark of any good civilization that the most at-risk groups receive the most protection, not the least. It is so hurtful to listen to CDFA write off all of these millions of people as expendable. They must be told that this is completely uncivilized.

Hopefully, I will hear back from Rebecca Gibson soon, and I’ll surely post about the outcome of that.
