[SMILIN]

Hi Family,

Please let us know if you are available to go to springfield tomorrow to show our strength and passion, as well as communicate with state govt. about the benefits of electronic cigarettes.

I am more than happy to rent a comfortable bus to take us back and forth.

This is a call to arms, please let us know ASAP. You can call us at 224-723-5339, or 5340.

Thank You

Steve

The more the better! Bring significant others, parents, anyone who has seen the wonders of vaping up close and personal. The more Illinois residents they see the better!!!!! I wish the bus made a stop at the Poconos!

Shame I am so far away. I would go. Looks like fun....

Take pics!!!!!

 

[maxx]

I posted up in the law forum for people to check this thread out. Hope you get lots of people....

 

[sawlight]

V4L Crew...I wish we all lived close enough to turn out and support you!

I live in Wisconsin and would be there if I was home, but I am not.

For those of us who don't live close enough to be there in person let us know what we need to do to help.

Some of us have already written letters, made phone calls signed petitions and more, but if you can think of anything else that out of state people can do to help just say!!

In the mean time.....sending positive thoughts your way!!!!!!!!!

Glad my order shipped before you all go to Springfield. Just in case you all get arrested for creating a public disturbance.....

signed petitions

Please don't. I know you mean well, but if you're not a legal resident, DON'T sign any petition for any state that you're not a resident of. Again, no offense - but it causes far more harm then good if those get audited.

The hearing is set for 9:00 a.m. tomorrow (yes--TOMORROW!) at 9:00 a.m.

Those who will be making their own way to Springfield, we'll be meeting at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday morning in front of the Stratton Building, 401 S. Spring, Springfield, IL 62706.

Also - to those who ARE going. You may or may not not get a chance to speak so PLEASE write out a letter of what you'd like to say. For all of those who don't get a chance to speak, we can hand the committee your letters right there and then! It would be a powerful message for them to read all of those testimonials!!

Question: For those of us who can not attend, is there some way to fax a letter to someone going for them to hand in??

Sending good thoughts your way. Give 'em heck!

 

[kristin]

For this purpose, I would say it's for the Illinois residents. If someone wants to share their email address maybe. Otherwise, just mail a letter directly to the list that JustJulie provided!

[edit] Kristin covered it.

No offense taken and good point!
I personally have not signed any petitions..
I have however called and written letters
I just added the petition thing in there because I know many others have.

 

[thelook]

No I am not a legal resident of the state I am just trying to give ideas for other options for residents that can not attend...

 

[deadman31299]

Best of luck to all who go, wish i could! What a worthy and fun trip it sounds to be!

I hope the television crew knows to be there too.

Many bad bills have been passed without enough people even knowing about it. I was reading a post the other day about NJ or MD (I forgot which one), where a bad bill was passed because vaporers didn't show up at the meeting.

good point v1John. I hope that some local people do alert the media. Please keep us posted. I might have to open a twitter account.....
