Glad to see it worked, hopefully other states will acknowledge this, and not be influenced by big tobacco...

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS CALIFORNIANS! 
Now that the congrats are over with, I want somebody to explain to me what e-cigarettes and e-liquid has to do with a program regarding alternative and renewable fuel and vehicle technology?
Talk about a leap! That's like throwing a bill regarding tax cuts for the American public in with a bill requiring all brown dogs under 10lbs to be spayed/neutered without question. It's a clear case of apples and oranges!
Who wrote this stupid bill? (Rhetorical question)... I'm just thankful that Arnold actually had the good sense to refuse to sign it (actually, I'm glad his wife, whom I am sure had a lot to do with this bill, pressured him into doing the right thing. - his wife is a democrat yet Arnold is a republican running and operating under a republican controlled office)
Either way, I'm glad somebody in office saw the idiotic writing on the wall and stood up to tell them not no but h*ll no! This just isn't happening.... If any bill reeked of pork barrel politics that one did.
Congratulations again Californians. I sent my note to Arnold to help you so I hope it did help. If NC should end up in the same firing seat, I hope as many come to our rescue. It's my feverant hope that given the upset in California other states will simply forgo trying to ban e-cigarettes but ASH and other idiots don't seem to realize how much they are stepping on our civil rights. It's okay for them to step on ours but we can't step on their's.
I am truly glad that you guys dodged a bullet the size of a nuclear missle. That's one battle down, now we have some leeway to hopefully win the war.
PS: I hate to say this but I was a bit concerned b/c Arnold has been pushing extensive exercises to be mandatory in every grade in every class from kindergarten through senior year for as long as I can remember. I was so afraid he would cave but I'm thankful he didn't. The old boy shocked me, that's for certain but I'm glad he did. I'm glad he put the desire and rights of the adults above the demands of the idiots.

I too sent a message to the governor even though I don't live in California. I just try to help whenever I can and like someone else here said, often what happens in CA often decides the fate of what happens in other states. Congrats CA!!!

Same here!!! I thought we were toast LOL. I had to skip to the end in hopes of a happy ending and whoooohoooo it was. Just like skipping to the end of a book cause you have to know the ending and cant wait and just read the book.
CONGRATS CALI!!! Hopefully Arizona will follow but we dont have a cool smoking govenor who has TONS of his own money. We got standard issue sheep for politicians here. Thats just MY OPINION so please NO TRASHING me.

My thoughts are out to you Crazy and all the other e-vapors in Arizona.... as well as the other states!
I used to live in Cali 20 some years ago but if thats the only place close that their legal in i guess looking for a place on the border of Ca and Az might be a good idea LOL That way i can still be from arizona but legally live in california.................
Why not, it worked for Obama.
But would we call him the "Pres'inator"?
I bought a Terminator poster in the local Blockbuster for $10.
I was going to be sad if I had to spray paint words of Arnold Blasphemy before hanging it in my new house. Luckily I don't have to, and can hang it as-is.
One word, Republican. Plus there's no mystery as to where he was born.
California trying to ban these struck me as the most unlikely state to do so, after my 7 years in San Diego, the California mindset against smoking tobacco products was so incredibly fascist that it's just mind-boggling that they would not embrace ecigs from the get go. Healthier(probably, nobodies killed themselves over it have they?)? No pollution? Causes people to *GASP* QUIT smoking? No more dirty stale smoke smell? Most Californians presented with that information would be getting on that bandwagon in a heartbeat.
Though, I'm sure ignorance played an enormous factor in getting support for this, also faulty, and shoddy reporting. Not to mention rigged numbers and statistics. Politics are a wonderful game, I hope some day.. before I meet my end, the collectives will finally all pull their head out of their ... and start worrying about the good of the country, instead of their wallets.
I think I may be aiming too high though.
I digress, congratulations to CA, and stop mentioning Arizona please.. I haven't checked whether they're doing something here... I suppose I should go do that. *crosses fingers*
Love the Avatar....so this means what? Witness Protection Program?? LOL
"Location: I guess I CAn't Talk about it after January 1, 2010"

Crazy, your brilliant!
Crazy, your brilliant!
And your lucky cause at least you have a smoker for a Govenor. We poor souls in AZ have pre-programed sheep for politicians. It will be a tough one here. Have you heard the name " Sheriff Joe Arpaio ". Hes a radical and most of the politicians who will be making decisions on the e-cig are just as radical and dont give a poop whats good for the "people". Just cross your fingers for us. I pray to my higher power to wake these idiots up and show them the light LOL! And im not religious but they take away my vape and who know what ill do.heehee. Maybe jump in the pool with cinderblocks tied to my feet..JK. I will be one ...... off chickie.
