Brandon` Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Just got this email. January 26, 2010 Mr. Andrew Brandon Konja Novi, MI 48377 Thank you . . . . . . for contacting me about the tobacco tax. I understand your concerns. In February, the President signed a bill into law (P.L.111-3) that increases the excise tax on several tobacco products to pay for children's health insurance. This program will provide coverage to up to 10 million American children. Should further legislation related to tobacco products come before me in the Senate, I will be sure to keep your views in mind. Thank you again for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to do so again whenever I can be of assistance to you or your family. Sincerely, Debbie Stabenow United States Senator DS:TS [center]U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow The United States Senate • Washington, DC 20510 [/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SloppyJoe Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I signed as soon as I heard. And I will keep emailing them and emailing. Hell...I should send some letters out too. Two questions though. Why isn't this thread pinned anymore? And why isn't there more response to this thread? I mean come on people! I don't wanna pay a fortune for hookah! No one does I'm sure...some can't even afford it as it is! Jobs and small business will be hurt...send out some letters! If we don't stop them now we will be paying for it later! And that makes me a sad panda... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
40thieves Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 [b][u]ALL PLEASE, TRY TO KEEP UP[/u][/b] Hey guys - this looks serious. Read through and forward. We're setting up laptops at every lounge we own and get people to fill it out the online signing. Even give them a discount on hookah if they pay to have it mailed. I'll also be posting on the form a list of people who are against raising taxes in Washington that are members of the House of Congress, and we will have another letter that we personally ad our thought on things and send copies to each of them. [size="3"]IF YOU ARE A BUSINESS OWNER YOU SHOULD DO THIS!![/size] As far as the letter for us all to individualy send I have a hudge list so far of the memebers. The letter will detail what the bill is and a spot to add our personal thoughts. I will provide all you with the names of the right people to send the letters to as well as the address were they need to be sent to. We have to make a point accross how this will affect everyone, Business owners and customers. The client base on hookah is so diversified, example of few of many are the solders that fall in love with Shisha smoke when they are fighting in war and come home and instead of going out drinking and doing other things, they able to have some were close to go smoke hookah Vs getting in trouble. We have customers that are not of age to go to big club's or maybe dont want to go to clubs. We put new jobs out there for young people to have a part time job. Comments like this will make the members of the House think it is a liability if they do this tax raise. WE have to do somthing about this. [size="3"]HOOKAH BARS ARE SMALL BUSINESS AS WELL, WE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE PLAN TO SUCCESS OBAMA HAS FOR EVERYONE!!! [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T355 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Signed and sent. It told me I was only the 15th person to send a email from Mississippi. I find it sad that only 15 people in this entire state took the time to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
