Henry Waxman: “A food safety bill sponsored by Rep. Henry Waxman, D-Los Angeles, passed this month in the House Energy and Commerce…”

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.

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

No one should be secure while he violates the Constitution and the laws.

Mr. Chairman, too much dirty politics is waged with dark money, the secrecy is protected by no privilege, and a little sunlight would be very healthy for American democracy.
