mse12 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) I saw this on "the other forum"....bleh just threw up in my mouth a little...lol. Anyway there's an official petition online trying to get a response about ecig regulation. Check it out. I'd recommend signing, it couldn't hurt! http://wh.gov/E2hF Happy vaping!

Christopher Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Actually I think this is a great idea. The Whitehouse really pays attention to those petitions. While they don't respond to all of them, they are very aware of what' son the site. Heck, they responded to the "Build a Death Star" petition. I'll push this onto the Vapor Talk Facebook and Twitter pages towards the morning when America starts waking up Uma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blucavvy Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 There was one of these up a year or so ago that i signed, wonder if this is the same one brought back from the dead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uma Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Thanks for the headsup, MSE and Chris! I remember that one Blu. The FDA answered it and "filed it". Hopefully this one will actually be forwarded to the right folk, and the right folk will take heed. It's worth the effort, regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CascadianExotics Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hmm...not that I have any qualms with signing something like this. However, it really begs the question as to how "Official" this is, considering anyone can write up any ridiculous petition they want...ie: building a Death Star. Some of the petitions the white house has responded to are quite asinine, and quite frankly, a waste of our government's time. What's to say that this petition (however pertinent) will not be treated the same way as someone asking for bags of all red jellybeans? While signing this petition cannot hurt in any way, it would likely be more useful to seek other channels to get a better-written, and more official document up through the ranks of congress. Just my .02 (BTW: I already signed this....just in case :p ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mse12 Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Can we vape on said death star? That's all I care about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHam Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I love seeing this everywhere I go! Thank you mse12 for sharing this. We've been trying to tell as many people as possible because when it comes down to it, we are all on the same side and in this together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquatroy Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) Why? petitions have to meet or exceed signature goals within 30 days, and this is over a year old, signing this petition is a waste of time, and better off starting a new one....

Jeffb Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 These petitions are a waste of my time. Even if they do get enough signatures, they are only reviewed and responded to by some White House intern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That petition is dead now. Signing it a year later, your electronic signature is not pinned to it. It is lost to the ether. By signing it now, you have essentially just sat on your thumb.

Compenstine Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I'm glad to see you want to help the cause, but bumping a petition that is over a year old...? Common sense would dictate that it is no longer valid. If you want to help look at NY trying to ban all E-Cigarette sales making it a crime to own/use one. http://www.change.org/petitions/state-sen-hugh-farley-stop-new-york-state-ban-on-e-liquid http://www.electroniccigaretteban.org/State-New-York-ecigs-ban.htm http://blog.casaa.org/2014/04/call-to-action-new-york-state-bill.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
