WASHINGTON, D.C. - "Some people are just natural born troublemakers," said Douglas R. Scott, president of Life Decisions International. Take for instance Cindy from Arizona and Cathy from Minnesota. Both have worked with The Pampered Chef for many years. Both are also strongly pro-life. They were devastated to learn that Berkshire Hathaway, which is controlled by pro-abortion Warren Buffett, bought The Pampered Chef, immediately making it a boycott target.

"The Pampered Chef has enjoyed a long history of satisfied customers and associates alike. But since the acquisition of The Pampered Chef by Berkshire Hathaway, all of the cooperative and good feelings are beginning to change," Scott said. Berkshire Hathaway's chief executive officer has personally donated millions of dollars to the pro-abortion industry. Warren Buffett even used his personal wealth to help get the abortion pill RU-486 into the United States. "But the most important point here is that Berkshire Hathaway donates corporate money to Planned Parenthood."

The acquisition of Pampered Chef has left many women associated with the company consider leaving work that they once held so dear. Countless others are participating in a slowdown.

By taking on the mighty Buffett, Cindy and Cathy have been thrust into the middle of the most controversial issues of our time. They have enraged some and merely angered others. Consider the following e-mail written by Adriane Bradley, an Independent Advanced Director for The Pampered Chef:

Three cheers to Warren Buffet!!! I work for The Pampered Chef and am very proud of it. Good luck to our cohorts who left-glad that they did!! No loss there!

I am glad he is more open minded [sic]. Do you plan to investigate all CEO's on every company to find out how they privately contribute??? Will they before they work somewhere else? How do you find out how someone does something that is supposed to be private?? I have not been too involved in this battle but will now fight to support Buffet. I know you have all the money. The Christian right wing always has lots of money to force its will on everyone else. How about taking all of your money and adopting some children? In St. Louis we have a real need to children of all ages who are in need of homes. Are you helping out? I think every person fighting on the abortion front should take one child (or more) into their homes. That would be a true Christian thing for all of you to do. You want to save a life, start saving the kids that are already here that are in so much need. Wake up.

Linda Rodriguez, a Pampered Chef Consultant in St. Charles, Missouri, wrote to say that she, "completely" agrees with Bradley.

And so the e-mails and phone calls fly fast and furious, but not always logical and kind.

"Yes, some people are just natural born troublemakers," Scott said. "Some people are just natural born leaders. Some people are just naturally brave. And we are very happy about it! We are thankful that Cindy and Cathy have decided to spearhead this effort. Go get 'em, Cindy and Cathy!"
