Oh and what about out RIGHT TO CHOOSE? We have that right when it comes to abortion but not cigarettes.... 150857@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 27 Nov 2009 22:16:41 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_SN_1147.html#150223 Hope Mr. Obama, all the senate and of course the big one Phillip Morris eat good.

If that is so the same on our government for doing this. This bill helps none of the people in the long run. But sure helps the big PM co. Get even richer. Why take away our rights, our money, our jobs? VOTE NO!!!!... 149938@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 25 Nov 2009 21:27:22 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_SN_1147.html#148955 I don't know if it's the liberal Democrats or the conservative Republicans who are making these decisions regarding tobacco products but I'm thoroughly disgusted with their self-righteous attitudes. Smoking is a crappy habit but so is drinking booze, downloading porn, eating too many nachos, biting your nails, etc., etc., etc. So will the politicians be prohibiting the internet purchasing of alcohol, food, porn or nail products anytime soon?... 148955@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 25 Nov 2009 03:18:36 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_SN_1147.html#147042 hurts: disabled that cant get out to shop. low income people who cant afford there state super high taxes. internet sales can no longer sale on line. post office stops there shipping of this product. warehouses sale will go down. banks will lose large accounts. a lot of people will lose there jobs and insurance. helps: phillip morris and rjr gets ride of the small tabacco companys. something they have been trying to do for ten years. this bill is unfair and does not help the american people one bit. Please vote no on s 1147 pact act. Senators that vote for this useless bill should and will be remembered come next time they run for office.... 147042@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 23 Nov 2009 17:39:32 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_SN_1147.html#144699 STOP THIS. Why are theycdoing this? To protect the children? BS! This, just as the sCHIP bill was, is aimed solely at the roll your own business which relies very heavily on internet sales. This is all driven by the major cigarette manufacturers who have national distribution and retail networks in place and will therefore be wholely unaffected. Stop playing into the cigarette companies hands and support the small independent growers and providers of RYO products which actually limit access to under age smokers.... 144699@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:57:45 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_SN_1147.html#144527 This is no longer a free country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... 144527@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 21 Nov 2009 07:50:12 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_SN_1147.html#143612 Elected officials, Vote NO. Overturn the flavored cigarette ban, it is ridiculous and will be inneffective and a way for black market sales to go through the roof. Vote NO on the pact act, we as free citizens have a right to order tobacco products where we want to. it is the land of the free. Enforce the laws so no children can purchase tobacco, but leave adults alone, and break up Phillip morris monopoply of peddling chaemical laden tobacco to addicted consumers. there are more chemical additives in a Marlboro than in a clove cigarette. Please vote no, and remember you were elected to serve and maintain our personal freedoms!... 143612@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:47:49 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_SN_1147.html#143079 Although cigarettes are known to be instruments of death and disease, our government is more concerned with tax revenue than the health of its citizens. Banning all tobacco products outright would be the only way to really protect the health of the people, but this law is about protecting the economic health of the country. PACT is a bogus bill introduced for bogus reasons. I am 100% against it.... 143079@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:43:18 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_SN_1147.html#142860 Please sign the petition for citizens AGAINST the PACT Act. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/us-citzens-against-the-pact-act-of-2009-s1147 Feel free to read my smokers rights blog too. http://prossmoker.net... 142860@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:31:03 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_SN_1147.html#142839 I SMOKE CIGARETTES ARE TO HIGH 'NEVER MIND ALL OTHER TAXES WE SHOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAVE MONEY WHEN EVER WE CAN THE WAY THIS COUNTRY IS GOING I SMOKE EVEN MORE NEXT IT WILL BE BY RATIONING... 142839@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:15:42 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_SN_1147.html#142827 Like some people, i am a homebound person and with a severe incurable physical disease that is not related to cigarettes or cigarette smoking. I have no choice but to order cigarettes thru the mail, and have it delivered. Yes, i smoke cigarettes, at least i smoke Natural American cigarettes without all the chemicals of commercial cigarettes. If this Bill passes, i will be among many who will suffer. Smoking cigarettes is one of the few things i can do and have no desire to stop smoking. The government has already stuck their opinions and much of our freedom has been taken. And if this stupid thing gets passed, i won't ever be voting for anyone ever again.... 142827@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:09:06 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_SN_1147.html#142797 I have wrote to both representatives of Hawaii and have asked them to vote NO to this bill.

If enacted, this bill will severly hurt those Indians who depend on this type of business for their livelihood. Didn't we hurt the Indians enough...we killed them, stole their land and even raped their woman. After all of the harm we did to them, they stayed with our Nation and helped us fight for our independence, and this the thanks we are giving them? I urge all of those involved to defeat the passage of this bill.... 141516@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:55:50 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_SN_1147.html#141036 What about the people in the USPS that will loose jobs?

I will probably die from lung cancer without the E-Cigarette.Here are some things you should consider.E-Cigs contain no tar.E-Cigs produce no carbon monoxide (they vaporize the E-liquid producing steam). E-Cigs have only 4 chemicals.Traditional cigs contain tar.Traditional cigs produce carbon monoxide. Traditional cigs contain over 100 chemicals. Carbon monoxide is known to be harmful and cause cancer.Tar clogs the air sacks of the lungs.Lung Cancer is the #1 leading cause of premature death in the USA.If passed it will make it illegal for tobacco and tobacco products to be sent though the mail. The nicotine found in the e-liquid we use in our electronic cigarettes comes from tobacco. I'm telling you if this is passed people are going to die! Genocide is the planned killing of a group of people. This WILL kill people. If congress passes this they might as well be watching us in a giant gas chamber not really killing us just blocking the only exit!... 137304@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 14 Nov 2009 12:01:58 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_SN_1147.html#133545 We are a Democracy. I wrote to my state senators and asked them to vote NO ON THE PACT ACT S.1147. Internet and mail order businesses will suffer and more jobs will be lost. The Postal Service and other carriers will suffer. We do not need another blow to our economy. Please go to http://www.smokes-spirits.com/images/promotion/2009PACTact.pdf and contact you senators to vote NO on the Pact Act S.1147.... 133545@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:38:57 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_SN_1147.html#133521 This act will hurt my household due to it will put out of a job and we all know that there isn't too many out there anymore. I also think it isn't fair to people who can't leave their homes and this is the only way they can get their cigarettes. What happen to the old days when people had a say to what they do with their own lives. This is one more step to control everything we do.It sucks !!! Passing this bill will hurt more people (poor people)than it will help anything.My question is what is it hurting? All it's doing is putting less money in the working people pockets and helping the rich people high up richer. Isn't there another way around this? I am against this pact because it will hurt the people and the ones who have a job won't have one if it passes.... 133521@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 11 Nov 2009 07:20:19 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/111_SN_1147.html#130385 I am homebound since a prolonged Coma some years back. PACT is an unfair act. It discriminates against my disability. I am not able to leave home, and not being able to have cigarettes delivered is an outrage. Also... due to my disabled condition, I now live on a disability income. A second affront to my limited situation. I see it now- not being allowed affordable products, and not being allowed to have them delivered... a double whammy by Uncle Sam, whose nickname is rapidly becoming "Big Brother"... 130385@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 07 Nov 2009 11:20:45 EST
