American Medical Association
American Cancer Society
news media: local, national
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
Real Time with Bill Maher
Randi Rhodes
DailyKos and the other prominent "liberal" blogs
Coca-Cola and Pepsi (both manufacture bottled water; this affects their bottom line)

Were I him, I would also seek the counsel of an attorney. An ACLU attorney can be found through their website. There are also a number of aviation activist groups out there, and lawyers are attached to those.
