WyWatch attacks Frontier Days and Susan G Komen Foundation.

Here is an email and attachments sent out by WyWatch. I am outraged and I hope you are too! This is very lengthy but worth a read. I really want to thank my friends, that are in the loop, and were able to secure this for me!

Dear WyWatch Family and Friends,

We are forwarding along some important information that we feel our members should be aware of.  The WyWatch Board of Directors would like to take the opportunity to encourage each of you to take the time to read the attachments and to take action.

The WyWatch leadership understands full well the desire for Christians to want to support organizations that are researching a disease that kills thousands of loved ones and is very personal for many….even on our board of directors.

But in the name of LIFE we ask that you carefully examine the attached documents and ask the organizations who research these studies to also stand for protecting our precious unborn.

We thank Margaret and Richard Wall for their hard work on this issue and their well written explanation of the facts.  We felt no need to alter what they provided us to pass on to the pro-life community.

We hope you will take the time to read the attachments and to take action.

WyWatch takes the following position on the life issue and hope you will share these principles with your family and friends and then pass on this e-mail to those you know are like-minded.
 

LIFE

 Principle #1 of the Judeo-Christian Ethic
—The Dignity of Human Life
 

 “The Scriptures emphatically teach the great importance of the respect and preservation of human life.  In the Declaration of Independence our nation’s Founding Fathers wrote that everyone has ‘unalienable rights,’ and that among these rights are ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.’  We Americans not only believe this for our land, but also we send our brave military men and women around the world to defend the rights of those who are threatened.

If people and nations do not grant ultimate respect and protection to both the born and the unborn, all other professed morals and values are meaningless.  The dignity of human life is not just a principle of the Bible—it is the first principle of any civilizedsociety.”---The American Patriot’s Bible
 

• No one should be able to decide that an innocent life is worthless.
   
•   Taking one human life because you think it might improve another human life is never justified.
   
•   Women need to know all the facts about abortion, but the abortion industry has been actively covering up the truth about abortion for decades.
   
•   In death-penalty cases, “reasonable doubt” goes to the accused because we must not risk an innocent’s life if there is uncertainty. This logic goes out the window when it comes to abortion.
   
•  According to the Declaration of Independence, a Creator made human life. Such life, being made with design or purpose, was therefore distinct from and more important than other forms of life.
   
• Because those favoring abortion have downplayed this uniqueness of human life since the 1930’s, some in our society have come to accept the lie that killing an unborn child is no different than killing any other animal.

Here is the First Attachment;

Dear Friends of Life,
Sadly, it has come to our attention that Cheyenne Frontier Days has once again decided to
associate itself with Susan G. Komen for the Cure. As you may know already, Komen publicly
endorses embryonic stem cell research, denies prematurely any link between abortion and breast
cancer (despite credible scientific evidence to the contrary), and will not stop its affiliates from
donating funds to Planned Parenthood (America’s largest abortion and chemical contraceptive
provider).


For these reasons, the Archdiocese of St. Louis released a statement concerning Komen,
exhorting all Catholics to avoid any association with it lest they become the cause of scandal for the
Church and the world around them. Indeed, this statement can be extended to the entire pro-life and
Christian community. You will find the statement in the email attachment. We hope you will read and
discuss it among your families and friends.


While the local Susan G. Komen of Wyoming affiliate reportedly does not partner with Planned
Parenthood, 25% of the funds raised by Komen’s Wyoming affiliate at CFD are sent to the national
organization. And the national organization has allowed Komen affiliates in other states to give
money to Planned Parenthood, ostensibly for purposes related to breast cancer. If a Komen affiliate
donates to Planned Parenthood for breast health programs, however, this frees up Planned
Parenthood’s unrestricted funds so that they can pay for abortion-related services. So, while a
person’s money may not directly pay for abortions here in Wyoming, there is still scandal involved
because he or she is at some level enabling abortion elsewhere.


After bringing the facts concerning Komen to CFD General Chairman Rod Hottle and CEO Dan
Cheney’s attention in early June, we were told that CFD had no plans to support Komen this year as
they have in years past. Yet, a few days ago, we heard from reliable sources that CFD has changed
course and is going to donate to Komen’s local affiliate as well as reference Komen in CFD literature.
Mr. Hottle and Mr. Cheney have not returned our calls and emails for clarification about CFD’s
change in direction.


As fellow Catholics and members of the pro-life Christian community at large, we seek your support
at this critical juncture in an effort to stop the loss of innocent human life due to the relationship
between Komen and Planned Parenthood. Please contact CFD General Chairman Rod Hottle and
CFD CEO Dan Cheney ASAP and ask them not to give financial support and publicity to Susan G.
Komen at the 2011 CFD because of Susan G. Komen’s relationship with Planned Parenthood.
Encourage them instead to redirect CFD funds raised for breast cancer research to research
organizations that do not endorse embryonic stem cell research and that have no ties to Planned
Parenthood. You can sign or adapt the model letter that we have attached to this email for your
convenience and either mail or email it to them at CFD Headquarters. Then, please let us know that
you have taken action by emailing or calling us (634-9771), so that we can keep track of the number
of letters CFD is receiving.


Your action today can make a difference for the unborn! Just a few hundred letters will send
the message that there are people who care and who are aware of CFD’s association with Komen,
thereby turning the tide away from abortion funding and toward authentic breast cancer research.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter! God bless you for your
commitment to the defenseless unborn whose voice you represent.

Cheyenne Frontier Days                                 Cheyenne Frontier Days

Dear Mr. Hottle and Mr. Cheney:                                                                                         

            I have heard that Cheyenne Frontier Days has decided to support Susan G. Komen of Wyoming through monetary contributions and by referencing Komen in 2011 CFD literature.  I respectfully request that Cheyenne Frontier Days change its decision and redirect any funds raised this year by CFD for breast cancer research from Susan G. Komen of Wyoming to other worthier breast cancer research organizations and refrain from mentioning Susan G. Komen of Wyoming either in CFD literature or commentary during the 2011 rodeo because of the latter’s affiliation with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, its national parent organization.  The relationship between Komen of Wyoming and national Komen is problematic for the following reasons:

1.  Susan G. Komen for the Cure (which receives 25% of the money raised by Komen’s Wyoming affiliate) allows its affiliates nationwide to partner with Planned Parenthood, America’s largest abortion provider, in supplying breast health services.  Such cooperation on the part of Susan G. Komen’s affiliates with Planned Parenthood frees up Planned Parenthood’s unrestricted money for abortion-related services.  Although the local affiliate has reportedly not donated to Planned Parenthood, nevertheless by virtue of its association with the national organization, Susan G. Komen of Wyoming (and, therefore, any organizations and individuals who donate to it) is complicit in the abortions resulting from such funding by other Komen affiliates with the blessing of the national Komen.

2.  Susan G. Komen for the Cure has endorsed embryonic stem cell research, which always results in the destruction of human life at an early stage.

3.  Rather than support further research on the issue, Susan G. Komen for the Cure has prematurely dismissed the link between abortion and breast cancer, despite the fact that credible studies have demonstrated such a link.

By associating itself with Susan G. Komen locally, CFD is thereby associating itself with Susan G. Komen nationally and all that Komen represents, does, and allows its affiliates to do.  Such an association contradicts the “family” and “child” friendly purposes of CFD and threatens to taint this year’s wonderful rodeo which you and so many Cheyenne residents have worked hard to bring to fruition.

Thank you in advance for discontinuing CFD funding and public recognition of Susan G. Komen of Wyoming until the issues raised above have been resolved.

Sincerely,

I hope this is enough for some of our more moderate political friends to distance themselves from this hate group.  Once again they skew and manipulate the facts to fit into their campaign of hate and discrimination. It's time we all stand up to them and tell them this is not acceptable. I will be making a gift to the Susan G Komen Foundation today!!
