    CASAA DEAD?

    I'll be the first to admit that we do a less than stellar job at monitoring this subforum . . . too much work to do and too few bodies to do it. :( But CASAA is far from dead. ;) We're more than 200,000 members and growing, and we're working hard to provide more opportunities for our members to...

    Do we need some updates here?

    My apologies. And, yes, it's difficult for us to keep up with all the social media options . . . Facebook (not just our official Facebook page, but also the We Are CASAA Facebook group and various other advocacy-related Facebook groups), Twitter, Instagram, and ECF . . . it's daunting...

    What and who is CASAA?

    I'll check with Alex Clark . . . it's not ringing any bells, but we've received so many emails in the last couple of weeks that I'm still plowing through stuff. :(

    What and who is CASAA?

    You are right in suggesting that this is a battle that needs to be fought on many different fronts. Electing pro-vaping politicians is pretty key to our survival. People understandably tend to focus on the presidential election, but it's also important to have elected officials sympathetic to...

    Florida HB 1143 ?

    CASAA Hires Alex Clark as full-time Legislative Coordinator

    There were two separate efforts to get the grandfather dated changed . . . (1) HR 2058 "Cole Bill" (which is alive and well, and still gaining sponsors) and (2) the appropriations bill with a rider in it about the grandfather date that would basically do the same thing as the Cole Bill. The...

    PA in the crosshairs again . . . URGENT Call to Action

    FDA TVECA post table of contents for Deeming Final Rule

    I understand your point, but I still think that whatever you want to call it, we'll have fewer protections, higher prices, and greater uncertainty. Plus, while current vapers would be willing to go black market (or, "informal sector of the economy," if you prefer ;) ), I think it would...
