clean indorr act,grant money,and your cities ban on ecigs.

[skoony]

the cats out of the bag.
due to provisions in the clean indoor act your city will get even more
grant money if ecigs are banned like regular tobacco.
so when your city bans ecigs make sure you ask them at the council meeting
what are they planning on doing with the extra money.

Another example of the Feds taking our money then using it to blackmail local governments.

Isn't anyone else sick and tired of the fact that we now basically have a ruling class? Isn't it time to switch party affiliations from D & R to "non-incumbent?"

No, it's time to close down K street, set term limits and require bureaucrats to leave after 15 years of public service. It's time to return to citizen legislators.

I've searched here and on the net and find no amendments to the Federal Clean Air Act since 1990 so don't see how it could possibly include ecigs.

Or Modern Whig party -- Google it. Puts reason ahead of ideology, cross between libertarian and and green and moderate, wants to spend money on education and infrastructure but leave adult choice the hell alone. It is also a young-enough party to influence its platforms.

First I've heard of it. Sounds appealing!

I'd love to, but it turns out term limits INCREASE the corporate money influence rather than decrease it. Folks are voting on ads instead of voting records.
I want to see voting records clarified (get rid of ability to anonymously kill bills, for instance!) and a constitutional amendment allowing campaign limits and defining persons as "natural persons."
