in case everybody hasn't seen this terrible bill in congress.....

[sqirl1]

so for everybody who hasn't seen this yet, there's a bill pending in congress that explicitly taxes the living #!%& out of smokeless tobacco and implicitly gives the authority to tax e-cigarettes. below is text from Rolygate's thread on this:

IDEA Full Funding Act (The Saving Lives by Lowering tobacco Use Act)
S. 1403: A bill to amend part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act

Please create an account at Popvox and OPPOSE this bill. It is a camouflaged attempt to increase the tax on safer alternatives to tobacco, including e-cigarettes, to the same as or more than cigarettes, and to increase that tax every year - inserted within a disabilities education Act amendment in order to hide it.

Please create an account - login - OPPOSE the Bill. Thank you.

I did see that and voted. Roth posted about it on the other thread here.

It's what's known as a quite bill, the House is not saying much to keep the public quite, too many have gone through this way.
