Take action in Congress now for cigars
http://capwiz.com/rtda/issues/alert/...67501&queueid=[capwiz:queue_id]
IPCPR is trying to get cigars exempted from the FDA's regulatory authority and have a bill in Congress to do just that. The link above is to a form that makes it easy to tell your representatives how you feel about it. Act now!

This statement just goes to show the lack of proper education/lobbying (from the cigar industry) about the unfounded "harm" from smoking cigars.

Got a letter today...
Congress of the United States
House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515 September 23, 2011 Dear Mr. Kercheval, Thank you for contacting me regarding the Traditional Cigar Manufacturing and Small Business Jobs Preservation Act of 2011, H.R. 1639. It is good to hear from you. As you may know, this bill was introduced by Representative Bill Posey of Florida on April 15, 2011. It would exempt traditional large and premium cigars from user fees charged by the Food and Drug Administration. The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. You will be pleased to know that I am co-sponsor of this legislation and will work to see it passed. Again, thank you for contacting me, please stay in touch. Sincerely, Todd Rokita Member of Congress
