Would a change dot org petition help us?

[EBates]

Bump again

 

[FlamingoTutu]

Is this any better?
We, the members of the vaping community, including users of vapor products, current and ex smokers, concerned citizens, and friends and family of those whose lives have been or could be changed by vapor products, urge you to reject the proposed deeming regulations.

Thank you! I was searching around for something like that and after going through a bunch of sites, mostly government, ECF crashed several times. Then my computer crashed. Think the cache was pretty full but it was a Twilight Zone moment.

Sorry folks, the forest was so nice we decided to stay another night. I'm back now, and as I haven't seen any other revisions I will make the last few, the opening line and the "new" tech part, and then I will see about getting it submitted.

 

[DavidOck]

Yep, time to run with it

 

[philoshop]

Glad you had a nice weekend Lessifer.

As soon as this is ready and posted I'll be making up an email to send out and paper flyer to hand to all my local shops. I'll help email guys like rip, Phil and any other reviewer that might help spread the word.

 

[Lessifer]

I still need a photo to use, anyone have a good one? I'm not photogenic. I don't think it necessarily has to be a picture of someone, didn't someone make up a vape friendly symbol a while back?

Glad you had a nice weekend Lessifer.

My first real camping trip, I'm a city boy. Aside from the swarms of mosquitoes, had a great time.

Back to the top with this very important thread

I checked the stock photo sites I use... pathetic offerings, these were the best I could come up with, and I will gladly buy the photo for this if you want one of these, but I think it would be awesome if an ECF member would submit their photo....

I will submit a picture of myself (51) and daughter (24) if it would help. She said she just has to put on makeup hahahaha. When you see her you will say ummmm why she is gorgeous. This can show 2 ends of the spectrum and being two women hits that end as well.

I actually really like the idea of using the term disruptive. To me it implies that vaping has a power behind it to create change, which is has done and will continue to do. It implies that vaping/vapers is/are a powerful force to be reckoned with.

Thanks, yeah, those just seem "off"

That would be fantastic!

I liked it too, the phrase itself fits vaping very well, and has been used in the past, BUT if it's going to confuse John Q. Public, I don't mind changing it.

Sorry if I missed it. But what do you need the Picture for?

Good to hear you did a Camping Trip. Nothing better than Getting Away from the Daily Routine and spending some Outdoors.

Thanks, it was very nice to get away.

On change.org when you're filling stuff out, they say that petitions with a graphic/video are something like three times more likely to get a response than those without.

Yeah... I have Worked most of my Adult Life to be able to go Camping, Climbing, Shooting, Skiing, Boating, etc. Don't do nearly as much Today as I would like. It is a Source of Annoyance.

On the Picture. What type of Image are you Looking for?

Sometimes people use the "Classic" collage image of Many People from all Ages, Race and Walks of Life. Cements the Mental Image that what the Petition is about Deals with and Effects a Large Amount of People.

Vaping is a Good Example of something that Spans the Entire Adult Population.

That type of image would be great, I just don't have any, and don't want to run into issues with using other people's pics without their consent, so really, any pic that I can use without issue, but preferably one that shows vapers who would not alienate large portions of the population.

This is a Very Good Point. Using someone else's Image without their consent could be a Big Problem.

I know there are Sites that have Royalty Free/Open Consent Images. It's just how much Searching one wants to do.

Another Avenue you might consider is a Graphic vs and Image. Perhaps something along the lines of Vaping is Not Smoking?

Kinda like this Pin.

Yeah, I considered the image, and am not opposed to it, but still have the same issue of permission. So if anyone has one that they've created, or is not someone else's property, I'm good with that.

Or I would need to create one.

...

Perhaps you could do a Please Help Thread for someone to make you a Graphic?

I know there are Many Graphic Artists here on the ECF.
