Passing g info on .... Good Evening 8 days and counting. The session ends on midnight next week Thursday, March 13th. We are getting closer to our goal, resolution and the end result we all want – No New Taxes!!! Today Lobbyist activity behind the scenes and front/center with legislative leadership and fence sitters. We have Stuart Halsan (lobbyist for the WA Vape Association), Joe Daniels (lobbyist for Altria), Colette Dow (Political Issues Management) and Holly (lobbyist for NJOY) all working very hard drumming up opposition against HB2975. The goal isnt to reduce the proposed taxes – the goal is to prevent ANY new taxes on our product –Sales Tax Is Enough!!! In summary, much progress has been made; many democrats are verbally assuring they will vote against the bill. DONT BELIEVE THEM – DONT TRUST THEM!!! We must continue our battle as if we have none of the democrats caving in. Please look at the attachment created by Greg Conley and if you live or work in any of these districts – please make the call and ask all your customers to do so as well. Ive also attached 2 documents that demonstrate a Comparison of the effects of e-cigarette vapor and cigarette smoke on indoor air quality and What does the chemistry of contaminants in electronic cigarettes tell us about health risks? Hope you can find good use for these documents, provided to us by Shawn DSylva. House Floor Vote Has not happened yet. Not scheduled yet. Can happen anytime with very little or no notice. Thats how they do things in Olympia. Will alert you all when it does happen. Vape Rally Kim at the Vaporium is bringing folding tables, making posters for protesting and providing whatever else she can to make this a successful event. Wil Zekar has secured our permit and is coordinating behind the scenes, and in front, to make sure we have equipment and accessories for our rally. Mike Thorn has created several posters for protestors to use as well. Your part – INVITE as many people to this event as possible. Lets overwhelm the capital with a show of force! Many thanks to all of you fellow vapers that are involved and stepping up to help save our business model. Your help is instrumental and necessary to stop the tax thirsty nature of our legislature, especially in regards to this crazy attempt to kill our industry. Regards, Joe Baba WA Vape Association
