TOP!
Let's do this guys. Just think of how this will affect JR and CI! Your mail order bundles going up 30% or more... Think of how much that will, in turn, reduce the number of people buying from them, and thus not generate any significant revenue for the state....

Done.
Don't forget, we have a thread that's stickied to the top of the Smokin Post, should you need some "talking points" or ideas for your correspondence. I also took the tack that if NY raises taxes, that Pa. stood to gain from relocated businesses and employees should they keep taxes and tax rates reasonably low. Talking Points Thread

These politicos never Fargin quit do they.
I sent short but concise e-mails with zero @%@%$@%#@! Those do not help the cause. Wacko rantings are ineffective at best. At worst they can undermine effective emails like... "The I pay taxes already and will seek a more fair avenue of trade if You do this thing." So, now that's Zero revenue for You! How does that grab You and Your Budget? Hope it helps. Cheers!

They don't ever get enough of taxing us.
Here's a piece from "Capitol Confidential" part of the Albany Times Union There's video in here, taken at De La Concha in New York City, from tobacconists, smokers, and the CRA.
