Default Time to file a class action suit against the FDA



Nuff said! Warning, F-bomb dropped once.

Feel free to embed this video on as many blogs and sites as possible. It's time we got our money back.

Try it again, it seems to be working. Unless ScrewTube deleted it. Not surprising if they did.

If it doesn't work for you, try this alternate URL

I run Pit-Tube. I don't delete or censor ANYTHING.

Worked when I clicked the text link at the top , just not when I clicked the "Play" arrow in the middle. Interesting idea, if it could be executed properly. Love the Drowning Pool song you've got playing with it, btw

Could easily be done if enough people band together.

Think about the hipocracay of it all. Ban an obvious safer way of life and keep the killer on the loose. I think it's about time the American people had a say in it all, and not let a bunch of sell outs in Washington do it for us.

I would be interested in hearing what a vaping attorney has to say about the idea. Surely we have one on this board who can shed some light on the mechanics of such a class action suit.

Not sure of the mechanics to it, but I don't think it's a hard one to file. Right now, as it stands, we are denied a safer way, and the government is willingly allowing a known killer to be sold and excluding all other safer ways. I think it's about time that the people spoke up. Even if you don't smoke, there is second hand smoke. PVs do not emit second hand smoke.

THIS is what the government wants you to do, because of the $$$ in revenue and taxes made, and not because it gives a ***** about "second hand smoke" or the deadly effects. In fact, their method of trying to develop "safer" smoking via the FDA tells us they want MORE people to smoke, and not less.

It's time for the government to be held accountable for their actions (and lack thereof). The sad fact is most Americans care more about who wins on American Idol than what their own government is doing to them. 9/11 changed that for a few weeks, but now, it's back to status quo. And the government loves it.

It's time for action. Class action, that is.

Time to file a class action suit against the FDA Pit-Tube - Get drunk and video yourself

Ah, thanks.

I did try both routes before. This time using the hyperlink above the video worked, but the arrow inside the video box didn't. Go figure. Off to watch the video now.

I totally agree with the concept, however I also think the mechanics of such a lawsuit have a great deal to do with how far it will go. From a legal standpoint, knowing who to sue and on what grounds are key and they might not even be the obvious grounds that you brought up. While we laypersons may be able to wade through the mechanics and come up with something that might work, I would love to see a vaping attorney jump in and shed some light as to the best way to go about it. Currently my right to vape has not been denied, therefor I don't see that I have a lawsuit. If my right to vape was taken away, I would have a reason to take action. It would be good to have a clear and precise plan of action when and if the time comes.
