everytime someone dies of lung cancer we should gather at one of the people listed above home,, with signs.. ie,, Mary Smith died of cancer because Derek Kilmer wouldnt let her switch to vaping'

I don't think bothering the family would be appropriate, but we could gather a list of names and send the list to legislators.

Standing in front of a camera reading off a list of names seems to be very effective. It's heart-wrenching (to me anyway) compared to the almost-indifference a mere number too easily elicits. A written list would be fine, sent along with a video. IMO.

Well just posted to Patty Murry's FB page in the comments of her announcing her run for re-election. She's on the oversight of the FDA and supports the Ban (of course, she's following the DNC's party line). Stated that my support and vote will directly relate to the who supports the FDA ban. I also posted the direct link the Royal Collage of Physicians statement supporting vaping. I also write her on a regular basis, but have to date only received the standard canned response.

Everyone who Vapes need to hammer their Congressmen and Representatives regularly, write and post on their webpages, Facebook pages, etc. etc.

I do fully expect my comment to be deleted, "but" they need to know there are a lot of us, "We vape, We Vote!".

The camera idea is good, just as long as it's not near the house of a family who lost a loved one. How about on the steps to some federal building?

Oh, for sure, I'd never want to add to any family's grief. A Federal building would do fine.

Good work!!

Thing is this, If it's only a few of us that are active we are just blown off. It's all a numbers game, if we as a community do this on a regular basis we will get noticed. But if only a few of us are active we're ignored as an acceptable loss and not threat to their seat of power.

Bottom line get active, regularly contact your Congressman and Representatives (write, email, webpage, Facebook, etc.). Cite "facts" and back up with the real science, great source is the National Health site in the UK, include things like the paper released by the Royal Collage of Physicians. Tell those in power to justify their position when the actual "legit" science supports Vaping and banning/restricting supports Big Tobacco .

Yep, this is how it is done. We can't fight BT/BP money. They kill us in that arena. But we can make our voices heard and that scares the pols more than their money drying up.

I just tried a juice sample that a company we all heard of (but will remain nameless) sent me. Let me put it this way. I've sampled several hundred juices in my vape life. This one was the worst I ever tasted. It was so bad I was actually rooting for the Deeming regulations while vaping it. I can't get the taste out of my mouth and beginning to think drinking a glass of skunk urine would actually help. YUCK!!!!

Patty Murry's time should be up, she has been there forever and I have supported her in the past, NO MORE! The only way to change this "nanny state" that I live in and love is change. I personally would like to start that change by making Ms. Murry a private citizen. I also recieved the canned responce. Simply not good enough anymore!

Let's not forget other circumstances vaping has helped. I have a friend who was overweight. He was struggling with giving up his sweets. I bought him a nice set up and a couple of 0 nic sweet ejuices and 75 pounds later, he is still dropping the pounds and says it's been years since he has felt as good as he does now. Yet this success story and millions of others are being ignored and traded for the all mighty dollar. Absolutely disgusting!

.they are there to serve
Indeed...they're supposed to be there to serve us
but they got it confused with serving themselves

The gub'min's sole purpose is only to protect us from the enemy.
But the gub'min has become our enemy
and now only tries protect us from ourselves... at gun point

Regards,
Hazy
