“Corporate Accountability International does so much with modest resources. Their accomplishments are remarkable. I am happy to contribute because I believe my gifts are having a disproportionately big impact, while the world is moved closer to my vision of fairness.”
Tell President Obama: We Need Your Leadership on the Global Tobacco Treaty!
The global tobacco treaty opened for signature on June 16, 2003, and took effect as international law on February 27th, 2005. Once a leader in tobacco control, the United States remains on the sidelines, among a shrinking minority of nations that have yet to ratify the treaty.
President Bush signed the global tobacco treaty in 2004, but it was never submitted to the Senate for ratification. In 2005, eleven U.S. Senators urged President Bush to send the treaty to the Senate for consideration. One of those Senators was Barack Obama.
As we celebrate the achievements in tobacco control, we call on President Obama to demonstrate his leadership on public health over private profits and send the global tobacco treaty to the U.S. Senate for ratification. It is time for the U.S. to stop standing on the sidelines and instead lend its considerable influence to prevent tobacco addiction and related disease.
