My State Assemblyman's office called me!

[TinyTimberGal]

I sent emails to my Wisconsin State Representatives after being directed to this thread http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-exclude-e-cigarettes-indoor-smoking-ban.html

I hadn't heard back from any of the recipients until today and I was thoroughly surprised to receive a call from the office of Chris Danou, Wisconsin 91st District Assembly representative.

Based on the conversation, it was clear to me that Danou's staffer had read my email, as well as the attached literature from CASAA. We talked about the benefits and safety of e-cigarettes, as well as the rights of consumers. He also said that this legislation would be one that Danou could support. Only time will tell, but I for one will be watching.

Very cool! Thanks for letting us know.

Glad to hear! And he's a Democrat, which is a great.

Stay on your other reps -- perhaps send a follow-up noting that Chris Danou's office indicated the bill was something he would support.

thank you. yes. not to incite a partisan argument (political theory is useless on this issue). but i am very bothered by the long list of folks on the wrong side of this issue. that 'free enterprise is balanced by public welfare' argument is sounding very hollow. in fact just got off the phone with a congressional campaign fundraiser. they called me.

Dang it, another reason cheddarheads rate over us flatlanders, here in Illinois it would cost something to get a legislator to listen!!!! Way to go, ttg!!!!

Thanks for sharing. Really glad that some representatives in the US seem to be getting it right...
