I've posted a diary on Dailykos and ask anyone who might have accounts there to feel free to come over and support.
Daily Kos: Waxman’s gift to Marlboro
Bear in mind this is a liberal blog so ideally we'll want people to comment in a liberal frame of reference. I'm looking to gain support from liberals not turn them against e-cigs.
I don't see this as a left/right issue obviously there are supporters of E-cigs on both sides of the political spectrum and there are arguments to be made from either political stance against them. Just remember arguments that are effective when discussing the issue with Republican's or Libertarians will not be effective when dealing with Democrats and other liberals who are automatically suspicious of certain right wing framing.
My suggestion when dealing with us liberals is to point out the big tobacco/big pharma angle we tend to be very distrustful of large corporations, Also bear in mind that many of us have high oppinions of people like Waxman and attacking him is likely to produce a negative reaction.
Sourcing matters. No liberal takes anything from sources like NewsCorp (Fox News) or CATO on face value we have a long experience with these organizations distorting issues we're familiar with.
Also if you happen to be of a more liberal mindset please join the Progressive Vapors social group I've created here on
ECF as a place to coordinate campaining from a more liberal perspective.
