Not with Change.org. I'm not entirely sure about CASAA. I will have to look into that. Maybe @JustJulie can verify?If not mistaken, if you sign a petition on CASAA or Change.org you are automatically made a member.
Sometimes this forum frustrates me to no end, but this petition redeems my faith that some body is actually doing something positive.
I managed to 'hold court' for a while with about a dozen younger vapers (30-ish yrs old) at a party yesterday. Most of them were completely unaware of the deeming regulation currently in process, and what it might mean for the future of vaping. They're aware of the issue now.
A few of them pulled out their phones and signed the petition on the spot. ECF and CASAA may have added a few new members as well.
All vowed to pay closer attention to the political side of vaping in the near future.
I'm not sure a gathering of myself and two others (non-vapers) qualifies as "holding court", but I did manage a 100% success rate in obtaining signatures at that "gathering". I'm way too old to do anything about gaining family, but I'm gonna have to work on increasing my friends list.

I was struck by the fact that they knew (or even cared) so little about the political side of vaping. When the conversation eventually turned to money and the amassing of personal wealth they were on top of it. Not about making it, but about having it. Different generation, I guess.
Well, I didn't tell the whole story. It helped tremendously that it was my wife and son who had both given up on me quitting smoking after a heart attack almost 20 years ago. Many attempts followed by many failures until I took up vaping. Neither smokes nor vapes, but those are the people that can really help our cause if "the powers that be" actually gave a crap about listening and doing what is right!
Perhaps another Wave of Social Medial and e-Mail forwarding for this Petition is in order?
It looks like the Momentum is starting to Slow.

I had a cigar anyway. The combined effect of 1st July, 4th July and Sunday evening.
A great moment of reflection over the implications of this being succesful:
Petition · U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, President of the United States: Reject the FDA's Deeming of Vapor Products as Tobacco Products · Change.org
