I called into 1400 KLIN this morning to refute Kerri Houston, Vice President of The Frontiers Of Freedom Institute. Her presentation had been on "The Dangers Of Drug Reimportation". She said that her right wing republican think tank, "didn't get it's funding from the pharmaceutical industry". I had said that, "they got their funding from Exon/Mobile, R.J. Reynolds, Mellon Scaife, and the pharmaceutical industry". I knew about the first three because I had found that information on the net in the moments before I called. I accused The Frontiers Of Freedom Institute of getting funding from the pharmaceutical industry, based on an assumption of that being the case. I know I should've nailed it down for sure before saying they got pharma funding. Here is a link to a web site that lists their funding by foundations.

Reynolds, and Mellon Scaife. Was I right about The Frontiers Of Freedom Institute getting funding from the pharmaceutical industry, or was Kerri Houston correct in denying it? Here's another web site that has information on them.
