    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    Did you just suggest that a Federal Court Judge should be biased based on popular opinion because he's an elected official? Don't you want your judges to not cater to a particular group, but rather rule justly based on the letter of the law? Following that idea puts us in a very dark place...

    CASAA - Organization

    You guys are killing me. In simple terms, what is CASAA hoping to accomplish? Hell, make a list. Then take that list, condense it into 20 or so words, and boom! Mission statement. It doesn't need to be flowery, it needs to be clear, pointed, and effective. Keep it simple. All the nuances can be...

    Yeah... "dangerous" experimentation with an unapproved product. I hate it when I sound conservative, but whatever happened to "use at your own risk"?

    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    What are you implying Sun? What else could it ever be? As an ad hoc group, it exists solely for that purpose. If someone were to want to co-op that name at some point down the road, more power to them, but it would be a separate entity from the one that filed the brief. Do you have another...

    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    Taken care of Tin Cup, thanks! Webtaxman - the real importance comes if the Judge requests to know who this "Alliance of Electronic Smokers" actually is. If a list of five real people is handed to him, OK, but if a list of a thousand lands on his desk, each with full contact information, the...

    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    Just want to point out that the Alliance exists solely as a brief and a list of real people supporting that brief. That is all it ever was and ever will be. CASAA and RtV are (presumably) long-term organizations with ongoing advocacy efforts. Please do add your name to the Alliance, but consider...

    I do want to note that I am fully aware that this is an international forum and as such not everyone was eligible to add their name. Doesn't change my opinion on that number. Anyway... carry on.

    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    This sounds like a great idea. Can't you just imagine thousands of vapers sitting in the DC mall around the reflecting pool just vaping away? Passing out cards and pamphlets to anyone interested in what those "things" are? Putting up little signs to inform people? Talking to everyone they meet...

    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    This ruling, no matter which way it comes down, is just the next step in the fight. It will frame what direction the discussion needs to go in the future. In the meantime, however, most of us have enough to weather the storm that could very well be blowing in. This does not mean that we will be...
