Big Tobacco is setting a spending record. R.J.
Reynolds and Philip Morris have already put down $4.5 million for deceptive
TV and radio ads -- potentially the biggest media buy in Oregon history for
a ballot measure.
The American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association and the American
Lung Association joined with Healthy Kids Oregon today to launch a new
campaign. The goal? To warn Oregonians about the onslaught of deceptive
advertising that's coming soon -- and to urge ordinary citizens to fight
back against these millions of out-of-state dollars.
We are calling on Oregonians to click three times:
First, click off the TV or radio whenever a tobacco ad airs;
Next, click on the Healthy Kids Oregon website (www.healthykidsoregon.org),
where your tobacco ad "click off" will be counted.
Then, click once more to automatically send an electronic
postcard to R.J. Reynolds and Philip Morris world headquarters telling
them, "Our kids are more important than your profits. Butt out of
Oregon!"
"We're calling on Oregonians to stand up and take action to protect the
health of our kids against Big Tobacco’s millions of dollars," said Courtni
Dresser, spokesperson for the American Cancer Society and Policy Director
for the Healthy Kids Oregon campaign.
Measure 50, the Healthy Kids Initiative, will provide health coverage to
100,000 uninsured Oregon children and double the budget of the effective
Tobacco Education and Prevention Program (TPEP). In addition to being
supported by the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association and
the American Lung Association, Measure 50 is supported by a long list of
nurses, doctors, child and health advocates and Oregon businesses, including
the Oregon Business Association and the Portland Business Association. To
date, all of the funding for the opposition to Measure 50 has been from
tobacco giants R.J. Reynolds and Philip Morris.
