American Lung Association Launches Nationwide TV Campaign:

Catch an Early Glimpse at Message Aimed at Stopping Congressional Attacks on Clean Air Act

COLUMBUS OH (07/28/2011)(readMedia)-- The American Lung Association is releasing a television advertisement today in an effort to thwart Congressional attempts to weaken the Clean Air Act. This effort is part of the Lung Association's Healthy Air Campaign to preserve the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) authority to implement and enforce this forty-year-old landmark public health law.
