Lung Association gets $20 M from EPA to lobby

EPA owns the American Lung Association | JunkScience.com

EPA pays American Lung Association to attack GOP? | JunkScience.com

The EPA-ALA relationship works something like this: EPA pays the ALA and, in return, the ALA agitates for more stringent EPA air quality regulation, including by lawsuit. Now the ALA is attacking a politician who is aiming to rein in the out-of-control agency.

I assume the EPA takes the tax dollars and distributes them to a number of universities, research organizations and the ALA as research grants and there budget is public. Any way to confirm and budget funding or earmarks to the ALA and that they are used against the ecig industry directly or is it by inuendo, PR and so forth? Any member of Congress could call for a GAO audit of there budget and grants, right?

What they continue to fail to tell people is that it's not just air quality that is causing the increase in chronic childhood asthma, but all the chemicals that are now found in our genetically altered foods. The human race is being slowly poisoned and killed off by these mega companies who only care about their bottom lines.
