Hi Caitlin, I have also raised stink! from India against Promise Me. Now I wish to know which are the products of Indian versions of International brands that have toxic and carcinogenic ingredients. I am a two-time breast cancer survivor for 13 years and also a writer, journalist and cancer activist in New Delhi.

I’m glad your co-worker brought you back to reality, we don’t need another Susan Komen going around suing tiny Ma and Pa charities because they used “for a cure” or “for the cure” because they claim it is their copywrite. They spend way too much money on lawyers when they could be giving it to “Research for the cure.” The cure is more important than squabbling over legal actions that do nothing but leave anger and a bad taste in everyones mouth.

I think it’s silly that you are trying to prove a point and charging to do so. Although you may have a point, I don’t think you will ever get enough support to get anything done because you are no better than they. I would never pay ten dollars to find out a conspiracy theory which is what this feels like. Spread the accurate word because you care about the people, don’t charge them for it.

I have been forced into retirement due to brain cancer. I do, and have always supported raising money and awareness for breat cancer research. Maternal grandmother was a survivor.
I too have limited means for monetarily supporting such organizations. While I would be happy to send a $10 check to support these efforts, I would not be willing to give out my credit card info. Were I contacted by email and given the necessary info I would attend to it today. Carl

P.S. I would add your requirement that all quoting your message must provide a direct link to your website. It will increase traffic and expand presence. I want everyone to know what ‘Think Before You Pink’ is all about.

I think you SHOULD contact those who are using your copyrighted slogans & website content. Clearly state on your website your willingness to share content and links, but insist that Breast Cancer Action is credited. Alot of hard work has gone into establishing internet presence & following. It’s great that others are paying attention, however, by not protecting your content, at some point it is likely to become distorted. Yes, we want people to wake up & ‘think before they pink’ but please insist that your copyrights are respected. It will give you back control over your messages while allowing responsible groups to help spread the word. You own it but most importantly you are the custodians who should be overseeing who else is posting your words.

I am behind you all the way, but unfortunately I am struggling too much financially right now to be able to donate any money. However, I will continue to get the word out here in New Bedford, MA, whenever I can. I commend you all for pioneering the fight for accurate information about what is really going on in the breast cancer world. Goddess only knows how little of that info is known here in my city. Congratulations to you and keep up the good work. Sharon DeMedeiros, 1 year survivor.
