Disappointed with the ACS

We have had a busy few weeks, and I do have a lot to journal on.  Matter of fact, made myself a nice cup of chai tea, got my net book out, sat in my favorite chair and was ready to blog away this evening after the kids went to bed.  Then I read an article and it outraged me.  So now I must share with the world the article so you are free to form your own opinion.  I will not, however, be doing a relay for life team this year nor will I support ACS anymore.  I already knew 3% went to childhood cancer funding, and I knew that a huge amount of their monies are spent in administrative costs, but I still believed in their idea and the people that host and run relays.  And they covered a broad spectrum of the beast.  So while I knew they weren't the best organization out there, I still had hope for them.  Well, I think what little I had is gone.
here is why:  Bald Barbie Demand is an over reach

Let me tell you why this enraged me. The person who wrote this blog post and representing ACS has missed the point.  Not to mention they wouldn't profit off this. And childhood cancer is about as rare as breast cancer...in that it is NOT rare at all. And they are not asking Mattel to mass produce. they are asking for a specific audience for the product. I know the mothers who are campaigning for this and this made me have a little less respect for the ACS.

After I sleep off my rage, I promise to blog on more happy things and all things Lucy ;)  g'night friends
