Increasing awareness of the efficacy of ecigs to get people off tobacco is a good thing for vapers and a good thing for those who want to quit cigarettes without the awful cravings of cold turkey. It's misunderstanding and the monetary settlements from BT that keep the fight going. BT has to be able to sell cigarettes to pay off the $306B settlement payments, so we have controversy.

One pays money to the government, the other doesn't and it represents a peotential drop in payments in the future. Watch for a tax on ejuice in the future as more people switch.

"... the White House increased the number of required signatures and has just announced another increase to 100,000 signatures."

Any clarification of this quote? Are they just moving the goal posts around or is this about something else?

Meaning that petitions now are required to have 100,000 for a response from the White House. Our petition got in before that, and was only required to have the 25,000 of the previous rule.

They can't ban petitions ...
So they just set the bar so high few will be able to reach it.

They don't want to be bothered with "We the People ..."
Just an inconvenience getting in the way of Nanny State agendas.

The only reason for the petitions is so that they can fool some people into thinking that they actually care about what the people want. I'm not fooled. They couldn't care less. They will always have enough idiots and fools groveling at the trough of government freebies to get re-elected.

Actually, I think the government uses petitions as kind of a visual aid
because the Nanny State really doesn't know ... for sure
how many rights, freedoms, and privileges they can steal
from citizens (the sheep) ... Before they SNAP !!

Can we please stop voting for the two party system yet? They are all hornets in the same nest.
