Your tax dollars at work… The EPA is now paying the American Lung Association to attack Republicans
The ALA put up four billboards like this one near Rep. Fred Upton’s office in Michigan. Upton is the House Energy and Commerce Chairman. (PlowShareGroup)
The Environmental Protection Agency is paying the American Lung Association to run attack ads against Republican members of Congress.
JunkScience.com reported:
“The American Lung Association has targeted House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton for his efforts to stop U.S. EPA from regulating greenhouse gas emissions by placing billboards within sight of his district offices linking climate change with increased childhood asthma,” reports E&E News PM.
But as we reported last week in “EPA owns the American Lung Association,” the EPA has paid the American Lung Association over $20 million in the last ten years, and has paid the ALA many more millions in a symbiotic relationship going back to at least 1990.

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Ping.
Graft.
Outrageous!
I don’t remember ever donating to these fascists. I hope not. As an asthmatic I may well have but again as an asthmatic I am ashamed of their behavior.
I am SO fed up with this administration. What a bunch of tu&ds.
The American Lung Association, in coordination with the American Cancer Society, among others, has been using blatant junk science to attack me for better than 30 years, now...
And a great many of y’all cheered ‘em on....
Welcome to my world.....
“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out —
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out —
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out —
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me.”
Martin Niemöller (1892-1984)
Liberals see no problem with this.
So then one way to look at this is the Leftist government thinks, or is it feels it’s just no problem at all to use our tax dollars to fight us, to fight our will.
Any relation between the Plowshare Group and the Plowshare Fund?
Plowshare Fund is a bunch of commie rats.
Plowshare Group sounds a lot like the Ad Council.
That reminds me - time to light up a cigar.
We should defund the Ad Council as well. A free country has no place for government funded propaganda.
Why don’t they just cut to the chase and put up a picture of Republicans eating a baby. The good news is that most people are now too sophisticated to fall for ads like these.
Concur. And the fact that there are any Republican Congressmen who think we shouldn’t de-fund CPB/NPR is just a huge sign of “doesn’t get it”.
well are the republicans going to do anything about it..its a real conflict of interest
