If you donate your hard-earned dollars to the American Lung Association, do you want the money spent on billboards promoting the greatest scientific fraud in human history?

Project 21 Fellow Criticizes Misleading American Lung Association Billboards

The billboards say, “Rep. Fred Upton, protect our kids’ health. Don’t weaken the Clean Air Act.” The billboards feature a photo of a girl wearing a mask to assist her breathing.

Upton’s legislation would not weaken the pollution-control elements of the Clean Air Act, but prevent the EPA from regulating carbon dioxide, which is not a pollutant. Carbon dioxide regulations have nothing to do with our childrens’ ability to breathe.

“It’s outrageous that a charity purportedly dedicated to health issues is exploiting children to protect the EPA’s power grab,” said Project 21 full-time fellow Deneen Borelli. “The American Lung Association of Michigan’s action against Congressman Upton puts the group’s reputation at risk of becoming known as just another liberal front group trying to manipulate public opinion through fear and deception.”
