Important contest

[lotus14]

For anyone who is not aware, the FDA is doing everything in it's power to shut down suppliers like NHALER. In fact they are trying to deny us the right to purchase vaping devices and supplies altogether!

A a consumer advocacy group (CASAA) has been formed to make sure our voices are heard. The intent is to to fight the battle on many fronts, from the consumer's point of view.

The voting for the 12 member Board of Director's for CASAA is now underway and will continue until Sunday. There are many good people on the list of nominees.

Only 3 suppliers will be allowed on the 12 member board. Webby is a shoe-in (as well he should be,) and there are other suppliers on the list as well. Fortunately Drew is among the nominees. We need a supplier on the board who understands the needs of consumers, isn't afraid to tell the truth, and has the guts to stand up to anyone on our behalf. A supplier who most importantly LISTENS to us, the consumers. Who better than Drew?

Please go to:

read about CASAA and then click on the link to join and vote. It only takes a few minutes to do and may well decide whether we are able to continue to enjoy the great products we love.

In addition to Drew, I also voted for Yvilla, Kristin, and HaploVoss, because I respect their intelligence, demonstrated commitment to vaping, and the level-headed common sense they have each shown in their posts.

If there are other candidates you wish to promote here please do so.

Drew-- I know this is not something you would do on your own, so I humbly request that you make this thread a sticky until the voting is complete.

Thanks,

I am truly honored and humbled by your endorsement and campaign statement...
Drew

My pleasure Drew. We need people on the board who are will to do something and not just talk about it.

To everyone--

Even if you don't want to endorse anyone here, please post here that you have voted. I'm very curious to see who's willing to take 5 minutes away from the usual raves about flavors and questions about devices, and do something to help ensure that we all get to continue to vape.

Yes, that was a challenge. ;-)

Drew for sure!

Who are Yvilla and Webby? I haven't seen them here. Which forums

Thanks.

I would suggest though that you just do a search for names you're not familiar with. You'll get a list of their posts to help give you an idea of who they are and how they think.

I voted for you, Drew, cause you're the man!! Good luck.

 

[JustSayHuh]

Absolutely voted for Drew!

 

[opuscroakus]

Registered and voted. Drew, Kristin, Haplo, Sun, Webby.

What I find quite odd is that on the CASAA home page there is a question on the left that asks...

Would you be willing to appear at public events to promote the use of electronic cigarettes?

When I voted 51% said no! It is troubling that over half would not stand up and be recognized and support vaping!

I am constantly educating friends and strangers about vaping but when those that do vape are apathetic it almost makes you think what's the point.

That is troubling. I can only hope that the way it's worded makes people think they'll be contacted to give a speech or perform some public disobedience or something.

Still, they were willing to visit the website and participate in some fashion so I guess that counts for something.

I really think most vapers would be willing and actually enjoy getting together with other vapers for a harmless vape-in or something.

I'm also sure that many others just don't want to meet a bunch of strangers in person. Don't know their neighbor's names either. The internet age backlash - see you on Facebook

I also Voted for Drew

 

[AnglVapin]

I voted for you twice Drew! LOL Once in the original and again in the restart.

I encourage all readers to take time to read the bios on the nominees and not just vote for the most popular person you may know. There is a boat load of talent out there awaiting CASAA! We/they need all the valuable resources available and put to good use.

But ONLY after you place your order! Haha (Don't want to interrupt the business flow)

Carry on.... just my unsolicited .02! LOL
