This can be easily done with a little hard work and commitment, which should come easy to you vapur lovers out their! all it takes is around 10 minutes of your time, the goal is to have achieved the 10,000 mark by 18th/May/2009
the sooner we reach the 10,000 mark on our petition the better. Ours is the only combined effort to do something against the FDA in the ecig industry. so lets join forces and make it count
the easiest way to get thousands of people to sign up in a matter of days is to spam youtube (technically its not spamming, its just informing)
so go to youtube, and search for any video that is relevant to this petition
type in things like
-FDA
-ecig
-Ecigarette
-FDA ban
-smoke 51
-ruyan
etc etc be creative
and in the comment box type in something along these lines (copy and paste to save time)
"HEY GUYS, the government body FDA is soon banning this product in the USA unfairly, because they know that they will get less taxes from real cigarettes. this is unfair and goes against the american constitution! please please please go to Google and type in "electric cigarette petition" and click the first link. every vote counts, we have the right to quit cigarettes and save our health!!!even if your from the UK or Canada because they will copy USA. please copy and paste this//"
something along those lines, remember you cannot include links or else it wont post, so you have to say "go to google and type in electric cigarette petition" also, at the end of your post, say "please copy and paste this" so more and more people will do it.
collectively the top 10 ecig videos on youtube have more then 1.5 million views, so getting around 5 thousand people to sign the petition in a few days should be a piece of cake!
the second method, takes a bit longer, bit is very effective,
what people need to understand is, that this is a numbers game. 10,000 people signing a petition is stronger then 50 people sending letters to their state councellers (although they both should be done so as to compliment each other and make the case stronger)
anyways heres the method... go to google, and type in "electric cigarettes" then visit the first 3-5 websites, and email or contact each of these top websites with the following:
-explain to them, that the FDA are in the process of banning this product from being sold in the US, and large shipments of ecigs are being held in US customs (not sure if they are actually being banned but the second bit is a fact)
-explain to them that the only way to battle this is to get a petition signed to get the product properly tested.
-explain to them how their company is going to lose money because the number of wholesalers for this product in the USA are dwindeling. if the company is not in the US then explain how your country will soon follow America because the FDA is a globally respected organisation.
- then offer them the solution, ask them to place a link on their homepage to the petition website: edit: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/keep-life-saving-electronic-cigarettes-available
OK now the reason that this is effective is because just in the month of April a total of 110,000 people search for electric cigarettes in Google, and once they did the search the chances are that they clicked one of the top results, so if one of the top websites has a banner saying "please sign this petition" then we could potentially have around another 100,000 signatures on the petition IN ONLY ONE MONTH!!!.
now this will take around 10 minutes of your time, and we need around 5-10 of our forum members to do this to be effective.
ps please sticky this, i really want to achieve this.
