Pardon The Interruption In The Contest . . .
Just an FYI and in case anyone hasn't seen this yet . . .
Sign the petition.
Veto the FDA Restrictions on E-Cigarettes
PLEASE STOP!!!
(1) We were asked to WAIT for CASAA to issue some guidance on what we should do and when.
(2) The petition contains false statements. The very first sentence is FALSE. The FDA has only PROPOSED regulations.
(3) The petition is poorly worded and contains spelling, grammar, and syntax errors. It doesn't help us if it reads as if it was written by a third-grader.
I understand how you feel; we're all _____ (nervous, scared, angry). But we can't go off half-cocked on our own with a petition here and a letter there. We need to put forth a unified effort and we need to do it intelligently.
Please don't sign the petition. WAIT for CASAA's guidance.
If you're not a member of CASAA, please join. If you are a member, please donate!
One very, well two, very major problems with this post.
First: "wait"... No. The FDA is not waiting, they are moving forward. And yes this is poorly worded and hastily put together but if something is not said it could he said too late and never reach those who have any actual influence in matters like this. True the regulations are only "proposed" but at one time, Obama-care was only proposed.
Second, "don't sign - just wait"... no, honestly I am already stocking up and planning an exit strategy. This is not even close to the time to wait simply because of spelling errors.
I would highly suggest that anyone who is able create a more sensibly worded petition and that we all sign both but it has always been rash and determined action that has shown the determination that has created this country and what once made it great.
Waiting for CASAA does not make your voice heard immediately.
I am a member of CASAA and value them greatly but, even if it is very grassroots and even if it fails, at least it is doing something. I will simply NOT be told what I can or cannot do to save my own life by a government I neither chose nor approve of.

While I agree it's not very well written I don't see the big deal in signing it as long as you follow casaa and add your name to the "real" petition when it's available.
