Please read and sign it at http://www.change.org/petitions/prevent-the-fda-from-encroaching-upon-the-rights-of-american-citizens Send it to friends and family as well. We need freedom and not restrictions! I still don’t believe one should have to pay to voice one’s opinion so I made a petition that, hopefully, will show our solidarity on this issue.

Neither event offered a chance to join CRA at the event. I have since joined CRA and encourage all cigar smokers to join. We can't let the government take another right from us without a good fight. Our personal freedoms are once again under attack and we must take action. Spread the word about CRA and keep contacting your local and state reps. This is important to us all.

I too not only stayed away from joining, and at one point was telling others it was a waste. But in the past few months the organization really stepped up its game and has in my new opinion made a definite impact on out government officials. I do a lot of writing, blogging, and video in the cigar world and I got asked many times why I wasn't supporting CRA. It actually started about a year ago when I was a guest on the Ron & Fez show on Sirius XM Radio, given an hour slot to talk about cigar issues, particularly the raising of the tobacco tax to 75% in New York State. Two weeks before my appearance I sent an email to Glynn Loope letting him know who I was and that I needed some really good ammo from the CRA to make my spot on the radio a great one. He didn't return the message. I emailed again... FaceBooked him, then got his number and left a message a couple of days before the show... but no return call. Ten days AFTER my show appearance I got an email from Glynn saying he was busy and apologized. Here I was on a radio show that would repeat several times during the week reaching over a million listeners and ... he was busy. I was pretty pissed off at his apathy and it REALLY left a bad taste in my mouth towards the CRA. But a year later, their gallant efforts to fight the FDA have really turned me around and I now feel it's crucial for every cigar smoker to join this organization. Nice blog, my brother. - Tommy Z.

Where you lost me ended up being on the facts. As they say, the devil is in the details... And that could not be much more accurate right here. Having said that, allow me say to you what did do the job. The article (parts of it) is incredibly powerful and that is most likely why I am taking an effort in order to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Second, while I can easily see the leaps in reason you make, I am definitely not certain of exactly how you appear to unite the details that produce your conclusion. For the moment I will, no doubt subscribe to your issue but trust in the foreseeable future you actually link your dots much better. In the grand pattern of things you actually get an A for effort.
