[Robert Weissman]

Easy to join campaign from the San Francisco Tobacco Free Coalition:

"It is a lot easier to sell cigarettes around the world when you have
the U.S. government on your team." Tell the U.S. Government to support
the Tobacco Control Treaty and stop spreading cigarette deaths around
the world.

For those organizations that have concerns/restrictions on lobbying,
this does not constitute lobbying defined as advocating for a yes/no
position on a piece of proposed legislation.  Global treaty negotiations
are still taking place on the latest draft of the FCTC which negotiators
hope to finalize in May 2003.  Some time after May, the US will be asked
to ratify.
