I came across the following post in a remote corner on ECF,
here. I thought to bring this initiative to your attention, in case that it might have been missed.
[... While ECF] and other e-cigarette websites/blogs provide excellent tools for identifying, monitoring and mobilizing campaigns to oppose/defeat unwarranted e-cigarette prohibition legislation/regulation, these processes are in desparate need of improvement (e.g. 90+% of notes posted in the Campaigning section of this [ECF] website have little/nothing to do with legislative advocacy).
While I'll try to keep posting notes on various website/blogs, I'm building an e-mail list of folks who are truly interested in doing e-cigarette legislative advocacy (not just whining or opining about it) to whom I can send action alerts to oppose/defeat unwarranted e-cigarette legislation (i.e. provide contact info of elected officials, model letters, and links for bills and news articles).
Anyone who wants to be included/added to my e-mail list, send me an e-mail stating such to
smokefree@compuserve.com (and please provide your name as well, as I don't care much for communicating with aliases).
Bill Godshall
I think that most of you are familiar with Bill Godshall’s position on harm reduction and know that he recently became active in legislative advocacy on the behalf of e-cigarettes. Therefore, I would like to encourage you to pick up the offered complementing tool to get organized and join his mailing list.
