e-cigarette petition on We the People

[StotheK]

We The People is a site started by the Obama Administration to allow citizens to start and sign petitions. If over 5000 people sign, someone in the administration will actually see the petition. Someone started one to recognize e-cigarettes as a viable alternative.

Right now it only has 2 signatures (one of them mine), let's see if we can get it over 5k!

30 days to get 5000 sigs, go for it.
Would love to see something similar here in Ireland, we just start facebook campaigns.

OK, now there's three.

Hopefully, this site alone gets enough traffic. If the petition to legalize (I can't say it the filters delete the word) has 38K signatures, surely we can do it. After all when's the last time you could get 38,000 stoners to do anything since Woodstock?

I tried to sign but needed to register first.
I registered but had to validate my email address before I could sign.
I clicked the validation link and tried cut and paste and the link is no good for validating.

I'll keep trying but they sure make it hard...
<sigh>

I had to work at it. I got several 404s' and we are working on the site, bla bla bla, but it did work eventually.

HAHAHAHA... I just went through setting up an account, and went to the verification link, and it says it's currently under maintenance. friggin idjits.

What an exercise, took 20 mins just to register and vote, but I finally got it. You have to use IE or you can't get the register button.

I used chrome, had no issues setting up the account, the verification is tempermental.. just like our government..

I used firefox on mac so I don't think IE is required.

 

[Iffy]

Never mind...

 

[intriqken]

Finally.
Signed and then forwarded via FaceBook, Twitter, and personal emails


I think we need to make this a sticky.
If we can't get 5000 signatures we are in REAL trouble.
If we believe we have a 'right' to vape then we need to show that we are willing and able to fight to retain that right, less others more vocal or active take that right away from us.

I tried to sign up, but the link in their e-mail for verifaction was not a clickable link, otherwise I'd be #10.

 

[debt964]

I was ten and I copied and pasted then I scrolled down and used the password provided to sign in and sign the petition...I also facebooked it....which means folks will at least look because I am never on facebook

 

[oplholik]

Ok, I'm #11.

 

[oplholik]

Will this be going up on any of the other e-cig forums?

 

[BeadyKate]

#12 here.
Also added the link to my wall.

 

[BardicDruid]

Ok, I've put it on my Google+ and two other forums that I know of so let's see if we can get the word out.
