7) Contact Komen's Board Directly.
If someone will find their emails and I will post them.
8) Tweet your outrage to @yoplaityogurt @nancyGbrinker @komenforthecure
Don't threaten "boycotts." Empty threats of that type are meaningless. Just imply that their "brand" is being badly tarnished by this. That matters:
RT @Shoq: @yoplaityogurt You cannot continue to support @komenforthecure without cost to your own reputation cc @NancyGBrinker
RT @Shoq: @yoplaityogurt @komenforthecure will probably not exist in 2 years. Do the right thing and support another org cc @nancyGbrinker
RT @shoq: @yoplaityogurt Please be sure your board is aware of just how bad this could get. Women are angry. @komenforthecure @nancyGbrinker
