Where else can you get free "likes" but in this thread?
:)

LOL, I was just on a popular ECF thread, for my first time, that is like 3000 pages long and gives out likes galore.

And participate on another that is 2000+ pages long that does the same thing.

I wish, as do you all, that CASAA was way more 'liked' and appreciated for what it (simply) is than how it seems to be perceived. But alas that remains my/our wish.

Honestly, sometimes I think those of us with CASAA banners may do more harm than good, as we may appear to be overly-zealous at times.

There are many that are turned off by that, but there are many that are motivated by that as well.
The line is hard to draw.

But on the other hand, once you learn the history of vaping, and the threats we face, it is not hard to understand our passion.
Not enough people know the history, or understand the threats we face and why.

I wish I could impart that knowledge to each and every vaper.
What they choose to do with that knowledge is up to them, but I just want them to have it.

It's a passion for something we believe in, and something we are willing to fight for.

Just signed up even though I joined ECF months ago. Had no idea it was free, must've confused it with being a supporting ECF member. I suggest having a sign-up field for CASAA on the same page as the ECF sign-up one -- or suggestion messages embedded in the membership confirmation emails.

I'm spreading the word among my vaping friends so hopefully the snowball effect takes hold.

People, we are rapidly nearing the time when your voice really, Really needs to be heard.
It's painless and would help not only you, but all those that will seek a healthier reduced harm method to quit smoking. They will have a much greater chance of succeeding if vaping is still around.

There is movement afoot in Oklahoma to stop the Internet sale of anything ecig related. We need YOUR voice to add to the thousands that are already members of CASAA.

Please? Won't you join in the fight?

Bringing this back. I could never duplicate what I wrote here:

For those of you reading this thread for the first time, this is what's happening in our little world. Vaping is in danger of big regulations. There is a ton of misinformation being taken as fact. The misinformation is being spread by those we call ANTZ. ANTZ stands for Anti Nicotine and Tobacco Zealots. These people have been hardcore against smoking and because vaping just LOOKS like smoking, they would like to see it banned. They will do anything and say anything to make this go away.

ANTZ encompasses everyone from the Big pharmaceutical groups to Medical associations. Even the government is afraid of what losing the taxes on cigarettes would do to all of their special interests.

Membership in CASAA costs nothing, they will accept donations and encourages donations. They will not solicit for donations.
CASAA is an organization fighting for us, to keep vaping as a viable alternative to smoking. Many of us have quit smoking, or severely cut back on cigarettes, by vaping. The ANTZ would like to see this go away. CASAA is fighting them in every little corner. We have had successes, because we are getting more members to make our voice louder.

CASAA managed to get a listening session with the FDA, in part because the organization is getting larger. In order for CASAA to be taken even more seriously, that membership number needs to grow.

Won't you join and become a part of fighting for this amazing device that has helped you quit a habit that you truly thought you would have forever?

Thanks for reading. :)
