If you contributed here, and want to get seriously involved in the fight, come on and join us. We can use all talents. Hop in, share your ideas, get organized, make...

    Why is the FDA doing this?

    Does the "why" really matter? If all the money-trail and conspiracy talk is accurate, we have no control anyway. Better to just think the best and try to work within the system to get what we want. Unless someone here has a couple billion stashed away to start their own lobbying firm?

    Aclu?

    Regarding the ACLU, I'll repost what I posted in the SPEC forum - ACLU - Represents people who feel that their rights have been violated. I could see due process for vendors (I've decided that I don't like the term "suppliers"... too much like "drug dealer") having their shipments seized...

    Dr. Whelan Speaks Out - Washington Times

    Quick point of clarification... this site is ECF. You are looking for the ECA (Electronic Cigarette Association) to take action.

    Call for better Chinese Liquid making industry processes

    I've been discussing the same thing. I've outlined a "three-prong plan" here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/society-promotion-electronic-cigarette/ If we can get the public on our side, get the manufacturers in line with regulations, and get the government to streamline the process...

    All Things Considered Transcript - About as positive as we can hope for

    This particular problem has nothing to do with elections or "the land of the free". You are dealing with a private corporation who has the freedom to do business with whomever it pleases. Bandying about ideas about attacks on your freedom are counterproductive.

    My letter to thetruth.com

    I would expect this reply: Excellent effort though! The more people who write to them, the more they may be inclined to ACTUALLY look into electronic cigarettes, instead of just blowing them off with the old "unproven" line. Since that's all most of these groups can say, we need to not only...

    Isn't it common for the heads of not-for-profit groups to make large salaries? I'm not sure that that's cause for getting their status revoked. Yvilla, you around this thread?
