    I bet he's not doing it due to the cigar tax, probably on some other grounds.

    So, how many of you have called your senators to voice your opposition to this bill? I just got off the phone with Senator Clinton's office, and I must say, her 'hold' music is so aggravating it almost made me yell at her secretary when I finally got a chance to speak.

    Anyway, you can get contact info about your state representatives from the RTDA Legislation webpage, here. So go make your voices heard! Yes, I am still young and idealistic enough to think that the system actually works like that!

    DONE !!!
    And we all need to get on the bandwagon and send our view to our elected officals. I personally think cigars are too high now due mostly to taxes, don't you.

    Default Senators Office Phone Numbers

    I just got off the phone with Florida Senator Bill Nelsons office. I will be calling Mel Martinez later today. This is actually the first time I've ever called a Senator's office over an issue. I hope they listen. This issue not only effects my business, but my hobby as well.

    I just tried calling both my Senators. Good luck. Hutchinsons line is constantly busy, and Cornyns, a machine picks up and tells you that if you've reached this message, all lines are busy and to call again later.

    Done!

    Our government has long ago stopped representing "we the people". I hope they still listen to us even a little bit and will stop this insanity.
