Very Urgent Action: US $ for tobacco exports

[Robert Weissman <rob@essential.org>]

The Washington Post today (October 13) reports that Sen. Lauch Faircloth
is seeking to include $10 million to promote tobacco exports in the
omnibus funding bill that Congress will pass before ending this year's
session. 

People in the United States should call the members of Congress who head
the appropriations committees to demand the United States does not promote
deadly tobacco exports.

Calls should go to:

Senator Ted Stevens, 202-224-3004
Senator Robert Byrd, 202-224-3954
Representative Bob Livingston, 202-225-3015
Representative David Obey, 202-225-3365
