FOR practical reason, let's be clear Who Is Behind the Freedom Industries.  

Bloomberg News Media cites:

Freedom’s website list Dennis P. Farrell as president.

Enviromine Inc. President Gary Southern was speaking on behalf of the Freedom Industries.

As Bloomberg News Media reports that, Carl L. Kennedy II took part in forming the Company, and is a two time convicted felon. Bloomberg also cites from its website that the Freedom Industries is “a full-service producer of specialty chemicals for the mining, steel, and cement industries.”

Most notably, the Freedom Industries have a business tie to Koch Brothers, as the Freedom Industries secured distribution deal for a product made by Georgia-Pacific Chemicals LLC. Georgia-Pacific is owned by the billionaire industrialists Charles and David Koch.   Americans for Prosperity backed by the the billionaire industrialists, Koch Brothers, has been lobbying against environmental regulations, while claiming to protect "American Dream" whose claim never seems to live up to what "American Dream" is about for an ordinary person in America.

Please Remember that Donald J Trump also signed to relax Coal Mining Stream Protection Rules back in February 2017, Undoing Obama Environmental Legacy.
