DesJarlais Introduces Bill Preventing Taxpayer Funded Attack Ads Against American Food and Beverage Companies | 2012-01-31 | 2012 | 2012-01 | Republican | House | TN | Scott DesJarlais | D000616 | desjarlais.house.gov | desjarlais | https://desjarlais.house.gov/media-center | scraper | U.S. Representative Scott DesJarlais (TN-04) introduced yesterday H.R. 3848 the "Protecting Foods and Beverages from Government Attack Act of 2012." This legislation would prohibit the use of federal money for advertising campaigns against any food or beverage deemed safe and lawfully marketed under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Rep. DesJarlais released the following statement after the introduction of this important and timely legislation: “Our top priority should be restarting the economy and creating jobs – not funding scare campaigns against perfectly safe and legal products. At a time when our nation faces high unemployment, it makes absolutely no sense that federal and city agencies would aggressively advertise against American products made by American workers. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T21:10:31Z |
