You and I both, it's still all a bit surreal

Senator Tim Kaine is another "blowoff" kind of guy.
I wrote him several weeks ago about the ammendment they were trying to pass that would prohibit mods and ecigs on both carry-on and checked baggage. In other words you wouldnt be able to take it on the plane PERIOD.
Here is his blowoff response, judging by the non-stance of it, I can only assume my plea regarding the FDA will get a similar non-response:
Dear Mr. Petro:
Thank you for contacting me about S.Amdt.3547. I appreciate hearing from you.
With 66 public airports and 45 million annual travelers flying through Dulles and Reagan National alone, Virginia relies on a strong aviation system to move people and goods, provide jobs, and support economic activity. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is tasked with managing both an air traffic control system comprising more than 60 million aircraft and the safety of some one billion passengers who travel throughout the nation each year. While the U.S. has one of the world's safest air traffic control systems, there is a general consensus that we need to make investments to upgrade this system's aging technology.
On April 19, 2016, the Senate passed a bipartisan bill to reauthorize the FAA's activities and financing through Fiscal Year 2017. The bill authorizes overdue investments in airport infrastructure and NextGen modernization and makes critical improvements to aviation safety, including strengthened security in areas like check-in and baggage claim. It also takes steps to provide for the responsible use of unmanned aircraft systems in concert with robust safeguards for safety and privacy. I was particularly pleased to work with my colleague Senator Mark Warner to keep all amendments out of the bill that would have authorized more perimeter rule-exempt slots at Reagan National. Such amendments would have increased overcrowding at Reagan National, exacerbated noise issues in nearby communities, and damaged the economic competitiveness of Dulles Airport. S.Amdt.3547 was not adopted as part of the final bill passed by the Senate.
This bill now moves to the House of Representatives. As the process moves forward, I will be sure to keep your thoughts on this measure in mind should it come up again in future versions of the FAA bill.
Again, thank you for contacting me.
Tim Kaine
You have to wait until they become an adult and reassess.How can you tell if an adolescent is brain damaged?
I need to give a shout out to SmokTek. For being a vendor that is taking this seriously. Just got a great email from them. Those vendors who do not take this seriously will no longer get my business. So get your heads out of the sand and realize this is a fight for your entire industry!!!!

Actually, maybe it would be more relevant to look at how they started doing a while back. Anybody have a good estimate how far in advance the final rules would have been leaked to favored investors?
It's obvious he didn't even read your letter.
It's like a coke machine thanking me for my purchase.And he didn't write the response...

Did anyone else watch VPLive Dr. Michael Siegel today? Dr. Siegel explained the FDA Deeming very clearly and precisely so that it's easy for anyone to understand exactly what it means. I think he answered about every question in this thread.
When it is put up online, EVERYONE, vaper or not, should watch it. I think even non-vapers would be absolutely astounded at what the FDA is doing. Please share it everywhere you can. I didn't catch where or when is is going up, (a bird flew in the window just when it was mentioned and I got distracted) but I'm sure someone will provide a link.
Dr. Siegel said one of the best things you can do is contact your Congressmen and Senators. Get typing!
Thanks Katya, I knew I forgot something.

not sure what you are basing this statement on as the FDA is saying otherwise.
just NO, you are incorrect, it was not done or paid for by the citizens/people of Ohio...
the petitions were done and paid for by investors to limit the commercial growth ofto 10 sites owned by those investors who also paid for the ballot campaign, giving those investors exclusive rights to profiting from the growth of
in Ohio.
The petitions started here are by individual vapers are nothing like that.
I would encourage you to do the research and learn the facts before spreading misinformation on a public forum.
Bummer. I thought Oliver said it was going to be tomorrow. I look forward to the rebroadcast.
