Henry Waxman: “I am proud to represent the Commonwealth of Virginia. Served in the General Assembly there for 17 years.”

It is not for the President to say or to obstruct congressional deliberations and investigations or other legitimate functions.

Sadly, this deadly habit begins with our kids. In many cases they become hooked quickly and develop a lifelong addiction that is nearly impossible to break.

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.
