i got this email today from the Tobacco-Free Kids Action Fund; please read it, and, if at all possible for you, become a member for at least $10 - help to prevent big tobacco from enslaving the new generation (and future generations) of americans:

Dear Kevin,

Monday we told you about a new legal strategy we are pursuing in the Federal Government's lawsuit against the tobacco industry. Today I am giving you special advance notice of this strategy.

We will attempt to do what the Federal Government will not do - represent the best interests of the American people and hold Big Tobacco accountable. We will publicly unveil this strategy at 2 p.m. Eastern time today.

Click on the link below to be part of this strategy.

We strongly believe that the U.S. Department of Justice is not representing the best interests of the American people in their lawsuit against Big Tobacco. In response, the Tobacco-Free Kids Action Fund, joined by five other prominent public health organizations, today will file a motion in U.S. District Court asking to intervene and be named a formal party in the lawsuit.

We are taking this action on behalf of our Members nationwide and on behalf of all Americans. You can be a part of this historic effort by becoming a Member of the Tobacco-Free Kids Action Fund today.

The remedies proposed by the Department of Justice are tainted by political interference and fall far short of what they should be. We are filing our motion today so we can be directly involved and make the case to the judge for strong sanctions against Big Tobacco.

I hope you will join us by becoming a Member today. Annual membership dues are only $10. The more Members we have, the stronger our position in the lawsuit will be.

The White House and the Attorney General heard from Americans an amazing 32,000 times in the last three weeks. Americans asked that the political interference in the lawsuit end. Unfortunately, the Administration is still trying to let Big Tobacco off the hook. The Justice Department has proposed a stop-smoking program that falls $120 billion short of what its own experts say is needed.

As a result, we are filing this motion that will give us an opportunity to have a direct influence on the outcome of the lawsuit. Please join us today by clicking on the link below.

Challenging Big Tobacco in court is difficult - their resources are vast. Our strength comes from the support of the thousands of Americans who are willing to stand with us and fight Big Tobacco. We need you now more than ever.

We are proud of and thankful for the work that you have done already on this issue. We look forward to continuing the fight with you. Please become a Member and join us today. Click on the link below to join:

Bill Corr
Executive Director
Tobacco-Free Kids Action Fund
