Chicago...doesn't look good.

Now is the best time for all vapers and vendors in Chicago to contact their Alderman urging opposition to bill (that hasn't been introduced yet).

Chicago's City Council is comprised of 50 Alderman who represent 50 different Wards, with a list of all 50 Wards and Alderman at
City of Chicago :: Wards

All 50 Alderman's e-mail addresses have the same format as below, and it would be helpful if someone took a few minutes to make comma and semi colon separated e-mail lists of all 50 e-mail addresses (so folks can blast e-mails to all 50 Aldermen at the same time).
ward01@cityofchicago.org, ward02@cityofchicago.org, ward03@cityofchicago.org, ward04@cityofchicago.org, etc.

Chicago residents can locate their Alderman by going to
https://webapps3.cityofchicago.org/StickerOnlineWeb/geoWardLookup.do
and a Google map with all 50 Wards is at
City of Chicago :: Google Map for All 50 Wards

Please note that Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel used to be Obama's Chief of Staff, and the timing of this might be coordinated with FDA's soon to be proposed e-cig regs.

Also note that Emanuel and various Aldermen are already pushing a $.75/pack cigarette tax hike in Chicago, so the Aldermen are probably hearing from lots of smokers who are upset about the tax hike, which would make cigarette taxes in Chicago even higher than in New York City, and which would further increase cigarette smuggling and tax evasion in Chicago.

Not sure if a female Alderman is called an Alderman, Alderwoman or Alderperson, so I'm referring to all of them as Aldermen.

Like this?

wait, wait, working on the format... okay, I think I got it. It wanted to make each list one very long email address.
