Done! Another Floridian here. After seeing some of the other bills and how Floridians by and large tend to vote, I might move back North. It's embarrassing.
Done - thanks for letting us know about this issue and turning me on to that site.
The Texas delegation has roughly 93% opposed when I cast my vote.

Did this a short while back and already received a response from my Senator's office last week. The reply did not address anything I mentioned in my note, but only touted the positive aspects of the bill regarding where the revenue generated will go (which by itself I certainly don't disagree with, rather I disagree with how the revenue is proposed to be generated).
Granted, it was just a generic form letter with my name inserted at the top, but I definitely don't feel my opinions were even considered given that none of the points I raised were addressed in any way . . . not that I ever had any faith in our politicians, anywayI mean how hard could it have been to use the form letter and just insert a short statement at least acknowledging the particular points I object to. It would have taken a whole 2 minutes for some assistant or secretary to do so just to at least show me that my voice is heard
To KillJoy -- It isn't the "quality" of what you say in a letter to your congressman that matters. He/She doesn't read those letters anyway. Their staff simply goes through them "quickly" and "records" yehs or nays. What gets their attention is the final "number" of "contacts" (phone, email, etc) they get on one side or another of an issue. It's all about their reelection - not about what's right for the people.
Done. And it stated that I changed the "pie graph". I was one of the first 50 people to report on this, in the state of WA.
Larry Waters over at SnusCentral.org posted a message opposing the bill, and included a link to CASAA's CTA page!
I visited his site and found this interesting article: http://www.snuscentral.org/latest-snus-news/higher-tobacco-tax-only-helps-smugglers.html

Done, and added to my site and social networking pages. Let's keep driving those numbers up!
You brought this to my attention in your supplier forum - thank you!
It never ends...
I signed up and opposed the bill. Also facebooked it.
We have to do more than this though. I plan to call all my reps and be a nuisance yet again.

Im the first and only one in Wyoming to speak up.
Our state funds massive anti tobacco campaigns and even pays for Chantix for its residents who want to quit smoking. I think the Wyoming vote will oppose this bill strongly

Good numbers!, as far as the numbers but we are below the overall average. Remember the old adage, "If at first you don't succeed, share, share again."
I opposed and was one of the first 50 that left comments in my state of Illinois. I also forwarded this information to 10 people in my gmail book (just about all I have on that account )
Illinois was the same as GinaD's, 7% for and 93% opposed
