There are so many people who love and care about a smoker.
They need to be brought in to this fight with us.

And to a degree they are, but not usually not to the degree that we do. When people say, that we are just a small group - that while we parse everything that comes down the pike, the 'general population' doesn't care - I think that's wrong. People who have family and friends that smoke do care and they pick up stuff here and there from either their family/friend vapers and pass it along as well as they can. Libertarians and libertarian leaning from the Right and the Left will be there as well and that represents a lot more people than who vote Libertarian, which isn't much, but may be more this election.

Off topic, but pertaining to libertarians and this election: Gary Johnson will be on Bill Maher (HBO) tonight at 10PM. It should be an interesting show.

A cute and nice "puff" piece but it says nothing about his followup demands to the FDA.

"In all, he has sent 285 oversight letters to government officials since January 2015, McIlheran said."

This pretty much sums up Mr. Johnson's reputation in Congress. Nobody listens to him. In their eyes he's just another far right, letter-writing loon. An ankle-biting canine with no teeth.

I'll continue to pin my hopes (and wallet) on litigation. Can't wait until this 114th Congress is done and buried. R.I.P. you lazy, do-nothing .......s.

And for the record... I've admittedly turned into my Father. Something many of us swore we'd never do. :)

K, we're all libertarians when it comes to our own rights.

Good luck. :)

In some cases, only our vaping rights, unfortunately....an inability to integrate the concept to other issues, by those who disdain the idea of self-interest for all, while displaying the worst type of selfishness for themselves.

You're right. There's no one who abhors self-interest. But for a virulent few however, they simply think…if I can't have it, no one can...and once and if they do, they close the door behind them to all. These bright thinkers believe we should agree it's in our self-interest that they rule the world. That's our problem in a nutshell. Our demise and misfortune is their serendipity.

Good luck all, remember the 4th. :)

Ok, there is an article from a Wisconsin new paper thanking the Senator for his help. It is written by the owner of a e liquid company and the comments section needs our help! It is being over run with crap! I found it via spinfuel. I hope I'm allowed to state that. Go to the comment section and let our support be heard.

I'm sorry I cannot supply a direct route there perhaps someone else can.

Here's a link to one I found that is getting overrun by tools of the FDA.

Let's get some pro vaping comments in. Cite the facts and clear up the FDA.
