20% $112.42 million for programs that promote healthy communities and lifestyles.
28% $156.13 million for programs that reduce the personal, social and economic harm caused by substance abuse — tobacco, alcohol and illicit drugs.

That's all well and good, but it's just a Talking Head. Speaking out of both sides of their mouths. Promote is not the same thing as RESTRICT and BAN.

The way they are using the word Promote is to CONTROL. I am against any means of control for American people. We are grown-ups. We can educate ourselves and make our own choices in how we wish to live our lives. It's legal.

Tobacco is legal and we choose to smoke a legal commodity.

Have you seen the latest "stand" infomercials your tax dollars are paying for? Kinda underhanded to make us pay for the anti smokers propaganda campaign.

17% $93.17 million for programs that assure that all Americans have access to basic health care at reasonable cost. This is to promote single payer financing.
17% $98.02 million for programs that improve care and support for people with chronic health conditions. This is to promote medicare/medicaid coverage of home visits
20% $112.42 million for programs that promote healthy communities and lifestyles. This is health nazi's
28% $156.13 million for programs that reduce the personal, social and economic harm caused by substance abuse — tobacco, alcohol and illicit drugs. Again mostly health nazi's
10% $54.12 million for other health and health care programs, including our workforce training programs and grants that are consistent with our Program Management Teams. This is to teach how to get grants for liberal causes.
8% $47.37 million for general philanthropy purposes, primarily projects addressing the Foundation's mission in New Brunswick, New Jersey, where the Foundation originated. Again more grants to promote the left wing agenda (night time basketball?)

No Promote, means ADVOCATE. and Advocacy regardless of your position, is what Republican Democracy is about, Control, is decidedly wrong, and when the State is moving that way, that is where the Battle is.

Look at it this way. The Foundation has no actual Vote. You do. In my mind, I would bet that there are still enough smokers, and people that support the right of people to do as they will, to get politicians back in line.

But looking to deprive others to their right to advocacy is not how we win arguments.
