More on the Bush administration favoritism of big polluters over the safety of the environment.

Today more than 130 million Americans-almost half the population-are exposed to unhealthy air pollution levels. Emissions from power plants are linked
to a host of pediatric health problems, from asthma attacks and slowed neurological growth to stunted lung development and neonatal death. Instead of
living up to his responsibility to safeguard public health and improve the nation's air quality, President Bush has partnered with industry lobbyists
to begin a vast rollback of Clean Air Act protections.
The legacy of the present administration to generations to generations to come making sure our children future is of health problems giving the
pharmaceutical industry a favor at the expenses of the American people future generations.
