Intro:

Americas Watchdogs' Global Piracy & Counterfeiting Consultants is the most quoted group in the world on product counterfeiting and piracy. The group is predicting that in 2009 global counterfeiting of pharmaceuticals will grow to $150 billion US dollars worldwide & China alone, will produce over 200,000,000,000 counterfeit cigarettes. Why the worry? Americas Watchdog is leading a national investigation into imported toxic Chinese drywall that could result in cancer, or other serious health issues, among homeowners in the 300,000+ US homes, that contain the imported Chinese gypsum board, built in the US, after the 2001. The group says, "Do you think for one second Chinese or Russian organized crime syndicates care about what they put in their counterfeit drugs, or cigarettes? We are begging legitimate Pharmaceutical & Cigarette maker CEO's to contact us immediately, so we can help them identify the bad guys & put them out of business. We also want to talk to the US & the global press about this dire emergency."
