It's Time to Collect Funds and Run a Full Page Ad in USA Today or Some Place with Large Circulation.

[TennDave]

Vapers are being trampled...and with no good cause.
I say it's time to gather the funds (vendors can help and we can donate)...pool our resources and put it all out there in a Full Page Ad in a well circulated newspaper. The public is being deceived- they need to know that.
With the on-set of mall kiosks, gas station e-cigs and now njoy and Bue Cigs being sold at national retailers (ie: Walgreens), not to mention Groupon ads for reduced cost e-cigs, they are becoming prominent and more and more people are hearing about them. I would say most people have heard about them now. At the same time, the propaganda has reached epic proportions against e-cigs and us. This will only continue to get worse unless we as vapors bind together in numbers (and not just go up against proposed laws) but really, and I mean really do something to hit the public between the eyes...
Just a thought...It's time to be proactive.
What are your thoughts?

To those who don't yet know, a documentary is being worked on called "We Are Vapers" which I think will be a huge step forward in enlightening the public about e-cigs. See info here.

It's time to be proactive.
What are your thoughts?

I think we all would agree with that.
And we have been trying to find ways to do that for years now.

I can't even imagine where we would be without CASAA, and I'm proud of us for creating them, and what they've done so far.

But the kind of money it takes for what you're talking about can't be raised by vapers alone.
I know because I've looked into how much money the things you suggest would take.

But the "We Are Vapers" project in the reply above is looking very promising.
And we still can't get but more than a couple dozen vapers to contribute.

To be honest, the apathy and lack of action by the majority of vapers is disturbing.

Thanks- I contributed too!
I do understand about the apathy and the lack of funds...a real shame indeed.
We need a celeb who vapes to sponsor an full-page advert somewhere (mentioning some facts about vaping) along with a head's up for the upcoming movie!
