“He is not living up to transparency,” Holman said. “You should be able to call the officer of the caucus and ask, and they should tell you—if they won’t tell you,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they are covering something up.” Connections between Bilbray, the lobbyists and their clients are not readily apparent.
So far, none of the lobbyists involved in the cigar group have reported giving money to Bilbray’s campaign,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], though disclosure reports showing donations made on or after July 1 are not yet publicly available. Some of the lobbyists’ clients have Political Action Committees that have reported giving to Bilbray’s campaign.
The NRA’s PAC,marlboro red cigarettes supplier, for instance, has given Bilbray $2,500 so far this election cycle, according to federal election data analyzed by the Center for Responsive Politics. Pharmaceutical companies that employ lobbyists involved in the cigar club also have donated to Bilbray through their PACs.
From 2007 through 2008, Baxter Healthcare Corp. gave $2,000 and Eli Lilly and Co. gave $2,500. The Watchdog Institute investigated the corporate clients of lobbyists the Huffington Post reported to be involved in the cigar club and found that Bilbray has sponsored and supported legislation that would benefit them.
I have two concrete suggestions that I think might be effective: First, society needs to foster a public opinion that smoking in public is unethical,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], illegal and uncivilized. Ads against smoking need to be aired on TV all over the country for a long period of time.
Second, the best strategy to ban smoking in restaurants is to motivate restaurant owners. For every case that the restaurant owner reports that a patron refuses to stop smoking on warning,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the owner gets 90 percent of the fine levied on the patron, and this fine has to be huge.
And for every case reported that the restaurant owner fails to enforce the ban, he gets to pay 90 times the fine levied on the patron, and this fine has to be huge. Granted,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ad campaign on TV needs a lot of money.
Fines collected can be put into a national anti-smoking foundation to fund these ads. To quote a sentence with a slight twist in a R.J. Reynolds’ (a leading US tobacco company) about tobacco litigation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the way to win public opinion, to paraphrase General George Patton, is not by spending all of tax payers’ money, but by making the other son of a bitch spend all of his.
There is no similar,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], large-scale study going on in the U.S., though here have been smaller studies which failed to show links between cell phone use and cancer. The federal government mandates that states collect data on benign brain tumors, at least partly in response to concerns about radiation
