SPONSORS OF HOUSE BILL HR 2824
 
A bill has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives that is aimed at destroying the online retail tobacco business. Sponsored by Representatives Meehan (Massachusettes) and Green (Wisconsin), there are, to date, a number of other Representatives who have signed on as co-sponsors.

If you are an adult who smokes, and any of these legislators are your Representative in Congress, you need to let that person know how you feel about their sponsorship of this piece of anti-commerce legislation. Write to him/her today!

Contact Information for these Representatives is provided below. The key point to get across is that you are an adult, you smoke, and that you want your elected Representative to vote against this Bill. You should also remind him/her that you vote...and that you will remember which way he/she votes. A suggested email letter would be:

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Representative ______________,
I am an adult smoker and I vote. A bill has been introduced in the House, HR 2824, that would seriously impact my ability to purchase the cigarette brand of my choice over the Internet. I urge you to vote against HR 2824. This bill interferes with my rights as a consumer to purchase legal products on the Internet. I'll be watching how you vote, so I can decide how I will vote.

(your name)
