E-Mail Sent to HHS About The Speaking Engagement of Sarah Palin

Hi There:

A couple of years ago, Hamilton Health Sciences saved the life of my partner through chemotherapy, radiation and a successful surgery to minimize and remove a cancerous tumour.

Now I see one will be speaking on your behalf in April, as evidenced by this Toronto Star article:

When my partner and I were doing better financially, it was our hope that we could start donating a percentage of our earnings to the Juravinski Cancer Centre, a division of HHS. If you do not cancel Sarah Palin’s appearance, we will never donate to your organization.

There must be legions of better speakers that you can get for a fundraiser. What about Bill Clinton? David Suzuki? How about anyone but Sarah Palin?

Are you aware that Sarah Palin told the “This Hour Has 22 Minutes” crew that Canada should privatize its health care? If you don’t believe me, watch this:

I can’t support an organization that supports someone who embodies ideals that are so completely antithetical to Canadian values. I hope that you reverse your decision.

Way to go! Give them nothing anyway! That’ll show them for trying to raise money.

Actually, according to this piece, it wasn’t just me but a number of key donors who were threatening to bail:

I don’t believe in donating money to an organization that spends it on tripe like this instead of actual medicine.

I object to your self identification as a leftist wingnut. Only right wingers are wingnuts. Left wingers are moonbats.
