#FUNDtheSUIT to Fight the FDA Deeming Regulations
Dear Vapers,
We all know “the suit” — Nicopure and Right to be Smoke-Free vs. FDA. It’s one of many facets of the ongoing war to save vaping. But right now, it’s a struggle, and one of our lasts hopes.
After an ugly, but not totally unexpected, decision in favor of FDA in July 2017 at the district court level, attorneys Keller and Heckman along with numerous plaintiffs, have moved the case on to the appellate court. You can read about the appeal here . Without a substantial win at this level, the case could move on to the U.S. Supreme Court.
This is where the difficulty arises. Federal lawsuits are not cheap. Federal lawsuits against government entities get even more expensive. And right now, the money is drying up.
The outstanding bill for this suit rising by the day as the fight continues.
In order to pay for the hard work done so far, and to see the appeal all the way through – possibly to the Supreme Court – will conservatively cost $250,000 in legal fees, time, filings, preparations and a variety of other items.
We, as an industry, cannot afford to let this lawsuit slip through the cracks.
So today we come to you asking for help.
We at VAPE News Magazine/VAPENews.com have partnered with Grimm Green and others to organize this grassroots-style fundraiser to help keep this moving forward.
No donation is too small (or too large — cough.) If you can only give $5, we sincerely thank you. At this stage, everything counts. Every. Single. Penny.
With that said, this is not your average fundraiser. ALL funds donated are being routed directly to one issue — the litigation fund, with the exception of a 3% and .30-cent per transaction GoFundMe fee. THERE ARE NO MIDDLEMEN.
What you give goes DIRECTLY to ensuring that the lawsuit can continue.
If you can’t give at all, we simply ask that you share the link with your friends.
CONSUMERS: Please share this EVERYWHERE — and OFTEN. If you can give (no matter the amount), we sincerely thank you.
SHOPOWNERS: We’re working with Saffire Vapor to create a comprehensive package that can be used to promote the suit in your store. When you’re in Walmart and they ask if you’d “like to give a dollar to help...” Let’s do that with this suit. Any way you can give and help spread the word is appreciated.
MANUFACTURERS: Included in the linked graphics folders are leaflets, and other items that could be included in your outgoing orders. Any way possible you can help is greatly appreciated. Again, in the end it comes down to dollars and no donation is too small.
Linked here is a Google Drive folder containing images of ALL sizes relating to this fundraiser. Use in any way you see fit. We need them placed on websites, social media feeds, emails, posters, banners, rotating on televisions in your stores. Click here to download.
Thank you in advance for your time and donations. Let’s fight. And let’s WIN this thing.
Help us #FUNDtheSUIT.
