TINA.org Joins Over 300 Orgs. in Letter Urging Congress to Support Financial Watchdog

A class-action lawsuit was filed in June 2013 against Narconon of Georgia, Inc., a drug rehabilitation program based on the writings of the founder of the Church of Scientology, claiming the rehab center made a number of false and misleading statements in its marketing materials.
