Head Of LA County’s Susan G. Komen Chapter Tells CBS2 She’s Resigning
http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2012/02/02/head-of-la-countys-susan-g-komen-chapter-tells-cbs2-shes-resigning/LOS ANGELES (CBS) The executive director of the Susan G. Komen For The Cures Los Angeles County chapter has confirmed to CBS2 that she is resigning from her post.
Deb Anthony, who will become executive director of the Toberman Neighborhood Center, says recent changes have prompted her to leave.
I felt blessed to support the cause of breast cancer and will always be grateful to all the fabulous women I met, she wrote in an e-mail. There are several decisions that Komen has made in the past year that have led me to decide that my skills and talents no longer fit their model. I wish them the best. I have offered to assist the local organization for a few hours a week to support the staff and their efforts on the annual race for the cure.

(39,961 posts)I know I won't be running again for them. You get taken over by rabid right wingers, and charity dries up. That's because everybody knows right wingers don't have a charitable bone in their bodies - they are only in anything for themselves.
I ran for two years, and I won't be now. I'll do it for local causes, and SGK can fuck off, excusing my language.

I'll bet Planned Parenthood would have a slot for someone with those sorts of, er, characteristics.
