Corporate Harassment

A so-called corporate watchdog has organized a boycott of food products produced by Philip Morris. Their justification is the presumed outrage of Americans over the "sweetheart" deal cut between the tobacco industry and the states' attorneys general. The reality is that the group and its anti-tobacco accomplices wish to shake down Philip Morris (and their customers) for additional funds to conduct anti-tobacco "education". Joining the group are two well-known anti-tobacco criminals, C. Everett Koop and David Kessler. What should outrage Americans is that a non-profit organization is allowed to slander and shakedown a legal, tax-paying corporation.
