Vapers March on Washington DC!

[DoctorJ]

It hasn't gotten official blessing by any of the main vaping organizations as of yet. As far as I know.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit to add: I personally am not sure how I feel without any official blessing.

This is what is getting me a bit angry, the approval/blessing of "the main vaping organizations". Since when did we need approval? I understand you want an organized event that sheds positive light on the vaping community, but who put these organizations in charge?

The point was that a march would be a foolish move at this point of the game ................

TOTALLY AGREE!!! I think this "protest or march" is jumping the gun. All we know is there are proposed regulations, however, we don't know what most of them are yet.

Continue with calling legislators and law makers, but thousands of people knocking on their front door demanding immediate change to...well we don't really know, isn't going to help at this juncture.

This is almost like Marlon Brando in "The Wild One" where a man asks Brando what are you rebelling against and Brando replies, "Whatcha got?"

Proposed?

Do me a Favor. Put the word "Proposed" in the August 8th square on your Calendar.

FDA regulations are done. In the books. Official.

We Are Royally Screwed.


Unless a miracle happens.


Lawsuits have started (2 that I know of to date, more should be coming) we still have some hope that something will succeed.

...

No. We are Screwed when People Start to Give Up.

That's what they Want. That's how they've Gotten Away with So Much over the Years. That's what they are Counting On.

Oh I'm not giving up




Ever!!!

City Hall's & State Capitol's are good for those who can't get to DC. but every single Congressman & Senator has multiple offices across every State. Showing up on the doorstep of each of those pffices would get the message across in a way they can't disregard. The info wouldn't have to filter up through State levels. This is Federal. Our Federal Reps will be making this decision. The protest needs to be aimed at them. City Hall is not going to call McCain, Reid, Pelosi, or anyone else & be effective in voicing what is going on at City Hall. But enough polite, considerate Vapers standing on the sidewalk of every office of each Senator & Congressman will have their aides calling them directly & actually speaking to the Person we want to hear us. Yes, these are no longer in the House. But the House talks to the Senate & the ability to influence is strong. Especially with I Vape, I Vote, I Know Who You Are, & How You Vote Too.
