Henry Waxman: “I don't think that is what the American people want. And if they find out that is what is happening, I am sure they are…”

No Nation ever yet found any inconvenience from too close an inspection into the conduct of its officers.

What the Constitution does not allow is our leaders breaking the Constitution, or the law, to serve their political needs.

I think of how Henry Waxman showed America the true face of the tobacco industry, exposing decades of deceit.

I hope this committee will initiate a detailed investigation examining this network of front groups and trade associations, determine who funds them and expose how they coordinate with industry.
