Now is the Time To Act! I am Serious! **updated**

[Terraphon]

uhm...I'll ask the question that's been asked a couple of times already...

What happened on this "call" that put a bee in your collective bonnets all of a sudden?

What news is there that we should be aware of?

I'd like to think that this isn't just a scare tactic to increase sales but we consumers need to know what's going on if we're to "act".

He suggested we act as the Senate is getting ready to talk and discuss the Waxman Bill. The Kennedy Bill is also going to make it's presence.

Now is the time to get the officials to make amendments and we must state our case!

Our customer list was just emailed.

Thanks SO much for the head's up. I pledge to write to each member of the committee, as well as my reps from Pa. Who is with me on this?

This is not a scare tactic.

This is essentially a time issue. Yes. More and more suppliers are reporting their items getting stopped. Some of us still are yet to get stuff stopped.

However, what is most important is that it has been stressed to us that time is of the essence due to the fact that the Senate is going to have Kennedy presenting his tobacco bill and it appears since this will be his last time around the bases, they want to give him his final horah.

This is the time to act. We all talk about acting and this is it.

You know me well enough by now, hopefully, to know that this isn't a joke.

This is totally and utterly 100% real.. NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT!! Seriously folks.. you have seen the shipments getting stopped, siezures etc.. Lots of suppliers losing money etc.. people not having stock to sell to you etc.. Seriously, you just think we are sitting around doing nothing? There is a REASON we dont have tons of stock a lot of the time! Please act sign petitions etc.. Do as much as possible!! Every little bit helps!

True. Please help the cause.

Ok, so who's prepared to lobby congress and request an audience with the senate? I think that's what it's going to take to make a difference.

We need a representative...Someone that's educated, well spoken, well read and ready to do work. A disorganized letter writing / email campaign isn't likely to have a major impact on anything. This issue shouldn't be shotgunned, it should be surgically handled...

Personally, I think the suppliers should select one or two people as spokespersons for the cause and those people should begin collecting the data and support necessary to get this thing noticed. Those suppliers should be calling televisions, newspapers, radio stations and magazines. They should be getting the issue known to the general public and sending out a rallying cry to smokers and non-smokers alike. A few hundred people from ECF aren't going to make much of a dent but if you guys get the public behind the issue and make it as huge and as visible as possible then there's the possibility of seeing some positive change.

I've said this before and it seemed like nobody wanted to listen...Get the masses to speak and make sure people all over the country know what vaping is. Organize and make it happen.

Terraphon-

We are already working through that and our presence on the hill will be quite strong. I am so sorry we cannot provide further details, we are still in the throws and many of us are working non-stop. There will be details as soon as they can be released. You have to trust in us that this is the action that needs to be taken and if we are going to do this, it needs to be organized.

Please, as consumers, what we need is for you to write. We are working on the PR angles, the hill angle etc. Everything is covered. What we NEED are the users to make their presence known and that a bill eliminating smokeless tobacco products would definitely impact your life in a negative way.

I'll do it. I contact my legislators all the time about their stupid sh!t...


We're in TWO WARS with another one boiling over our southern border, the DOW has lost almost HALF its value in the past year, unemployment is 8.5% and climbing, one in 150 homes are in foreclosure in this country...

AND OUR GOVERNMENT MUST ACT SOON TO SAVE US FROM ELECTRIC CIGARETTES

Is it time to start shooting yet???
