Boycott Everyone?

It is getting increasingly difficult to know where to shop these days given the bad decisions by corporate executives when it comes to donations to politicians and organizations. In reality, there probably aren't many companies that do not contribute funds to organizations or politicians of which loyal Catholics would approve.

However, some organizations are a bit stealth when it comes to their ties to objectionable organizations, and The Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation is one of them.

I picked up a brochure for that organization's "Race for the Cure" that is to be held on Sunday, September 25 and recalled seeing a piece at Roman Catholic Blog linking that organization to Planned Parenthood.

The oddest supporter of this race is FM radio channel 95.9, "The Fish," which I thought was a solidly Christian (and anti-abortion) station. The entire list can be found at the Komen website. One has to think that many of these organizations are clueless about Komen's link to Planned Parenthood. I hesitate to advocate a boycott, but I do think that Catholic organizations that sell script should drop any companies found on that list.
