Remove Mrs Lieberman from post as Ambassador for a Cure


Posted: Dec 15, 2009

Are you aware that the wife of Joe Lieberman - the man who once campaigned to eliminate the filibuster but is now threatening to use it against a public option - is a compensated "Global Ambassador" for Susan G. Komen for the cure?

As the world's biggest breast cancer charity, Susan G. Komen for the cure has thrown considerable weight behind ensuring that any reform bill that comes out of Congress serves to improve the lives of their dependents. So why is Susan G. Komen for the cure using donations to pay the salary of Hadassah Lieberman, wife of Joe Lieberman, who pledged to kill any bill including a public option?

Will you sign our letter to Susan G. Komen for the cure, asking for Mrs. Lieberman to step down as a compensated "Global Ambassador?"

http://action.firedoglake.com/hadassah

Sign our letter to Susan G. Komen for the cure today:

"Mrs. Lieberman's relationship with Susan G. Komen for the cure is unethical and misleading. Important and often very personal donations made to Susan G. Komen for the cure to benefit the sick and dying are essentially undermining their intended use. And as Hadassah travels the globe under the banner of Susan G. Komen for the cure, decrying the inadequecies of our health care system and the desperate need to reform it, her husband is at home to kill the reform efforts we so desperately need.

I call for Susan G. Komen for the cure to ask Hadassah Lieberman to step down as a "Global Ambassador" for the organization in light of the inherent conflict of interest her continued presence brings."

Join us in calling on Susan G. Komen for the cure to remove Mrs. Lieberman as a compensated "Global Ambassador."

Mrs. Lieberman should be fired due to her own actions. - Smitty

I have donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation and do not want one dime of my money being paid to Hadassah Lieberman. Regardless of her husband's idiotic behavior, she herself has been employed by pharmaceutical companies and the health insurance lobbying complex, which has done serious harm to Americans in need of affordable health care.

Oh, come on! It's clear you are just taking out your - anger towards him on her -real fair.nm

Wrong, I am speaking only of Mrs. Lieberman's actions. - Smitty

[ In Reply To ..]
At some point, women must take responsibility for their own actions. It was Hadassah Lieberman who was employed and paid by the pharmaceutical industry and insurance lobbying complex, not her husband. She cannot do the devil's deeds and accept money from the devil and then pretend to be an angel!
What actions do you speak of? - MTer
[ In Reply To ..]
Because a liberal blogger/political activist said so. Is it because she is the wife of Sen. J. Lieberman? What devil does she accept money from?

From WaPo

"Hadassah Lieberman is not and has never been a lobbyist. She did work for some pharmaceutical companies -- Hoffman-La Roche in New York in the 1970s before she married Lieberman, and Pfizer, also in New York, from 1982 to 1985. Later, from 1993 to 1997, she worked for Apco, a global public relations firm that represents corporations, including several drug companies.

More facts: Mrs. Lieberman is not paid in her role as global ambassador for Komen, though she does get a check for consulting work she performs under a separate agreement. According to Komen spokeswoman Pamela Stevens, Komen has never funneled money to pharmaceutical companies. Susan G. Komen grants totaling $450 million have gone to research institutions in the United States and abroad. A separate $900 million has gone to programs in communities worldwide for education, screening and treatment. An additional $50 million will go to research in the coming year."
