STATEMENT FROM THE COMMISSION
The Citizens' Commission to Protect the Truth was formed to see that the truth® youth anti-smoking campaign continues.
The Commission is seeking one million signatures on its petition and on its Web site, www.ProtectTheTruth.org, which demands that tobacco companies accede to court-supervised funding of the Public Education Fund through the Master Settlement Agreement (MSA), which they signed with the states in 1998.
The Commission plans to file amicus briefs in appropriate tobacco litigation. It will ask courts to order tobacco companies to provide funds for the truth® campaign as one of the remedies for tobacco company misconduct.
