Big Tobacco Kills People… and Bills

Alright folks, we are kind of in between a rock and a hard place right now… let me explain:

Big Tobacco must be throwin’ their money around again, because they are swaying the votes that we need! Along with that, Mr. Governor is convinced that the Tobacco Tax is not the answer… hmmm…

This means that we need to put Big Tobacco in their place! They are working hard to kill these life and money saving bills, and its up to US to kill their efforts!

LETS TAKE CONTROL!

We need to FLOOD the inboxes of our representatives with emails urging them to support tobacco prevention and this tobacco tax! A simple poll saying that 80% of Utahns support this isn’t enough. They need to hear it from the Utahns themselves! Please tell all of your family, friends, and neighbors!

For email addresses for Representatives, click HERE. For Senate, click HERE. For the Governor, click HERE. (top priority right now is the House of Reps., but the House, Senate, and Governor NEED YOUR EMAILS ASAP!)

(If you aren’t comfortable emailing ALL representatives, click HERE to find your rep. & senator)

For a sample letter, click HERE.

For talking points, click HERE.

Like I mentioned before, we need to flood the inboxes. Feel free to send your family, friends, and anyone else you can think of to this post for information. This is a crucial time for this bill. Lets show them that we care!
