A bill has been introduced in
the U.S. Senate that will prevent you from purchasing the cigarette brand of
your choice over the Internet. If you live in the states of Arizona, Utah,
Iowa, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Alabama, South Carolina, Idaho, Georgia, Texas,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Delaware, Wisconsin, California, New York, Illinois or
North Carolina, it is vitally important that you write, call, e-mail or fax
your Senator or Senators, urging them to vote against S. 1177.
Tell these Senators you are an adult
consumer, and should be able to purchase the brand of your choice, the same way
you can purchase other legal products over the Internet.
A
suggested letter would read:
"I am an adult smoker and I vote. A bill has been introduced in the
Senate, S. 1177, that would end my ability to purchase the cigarette brand of
my choice over the Internet. I urge you to vote against S. 1177. 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."
