Does this scare you? It sure scares the hell out of ME! Someone sent me this wonderful (or despicable, depending on how you look at it) link showing the collaboration between the American Medical Association and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the MILLIONS $$$$ being given to OUR states in an attempt to raise cigarette taxes and ban smoking , all under the name of the Smokeless States National Tobacco Policy Initiative.

From the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Now......where is this money going??!!

Hmmmm....Private Money, reducing states Medical burdens, and your problem with this is what exactly?

I could understand if the money were going in the Opposite direction, but the simple fact is RWJ is a renowned Philanthropist who spends an awful lot of time trying to do PALAPABLE GOOD with his money.

I don't suppose all you hypocritical bastards are giving up your MICROSOFT pcs because the Gates Foundation is one of Planned Parenthoods biggest suporters....But then again, ripping the unborn screaming from the womb is different than not being allowed to ingest a little nicotine in a hospital...
