We All Have a Story To Tell
Today's project: Tell you story. You can tell it to someone in person, you can post it on facebook, you can tweet it, you can type it up and save if for the next letter writing campaign. Stories / testimonials are a powerful advocacy tool. You're vaping for a reason, and maybe your reason will be the one that some smoker needs to hear to get motivated to quit smoking.
Have a great weekend!

Who can give me 5 on Donut Day??
We're not talking a High Five, or 5 pushups, or 5 minutes. Today, we're wondering who can toss at least $5 into the hat for the benefit of vaping?
OMG, I just realized I typoed the title, it's DONATE DAY, not Donut Day! LOL guess I've got breakfast on my mind. :)
$5.. can you imagine what would happen if each of us could donate $5 to the cause? What is $5? A hamburger, a flavored coffee, a coil or 2, or even a couple of donuts. I'm betting most of us could find a way to squeak at least $5 out of our budgets.
Advocacy can be expensive. Paying for lobbyists, printed material, websites, advertising and travel expenses are just a few of the things that advocacy organizations need funding for.
So how about it? Can you give vaping advocacy a 5? I'll give you a virtual high 5 in return! I'll suggest a couple of possible advocacy organizations below, you will also find organizations specific to your state and other national organizations if you search for them. It's not important to me which one you give to, as long as you give!
#NOTBlowingSmoke
The American Vaping Association
The last one I'm going to list is not for a vaping organization, even though it is run by vapers. 4 little vape shops in a small community are putting community FIRST and raising funds to help local residents recover from a devastating storm that dropped thousands of trees on homes, cars, power lines, businesses, etc. They have set a goal to raise $1000. You can find it here: Brainerd Lakes Area Storm Relief Fund As soon as the vapers in this area are done helping their community get back on their feet, this merry band of vapers WILL return to the fight, as they are facing local anti-vaping ordinances in the near futre.
It will only take a couple of minutes to pick an organization, click on "donate" and contribute to the cause. Feels good doesn't it? It is so easy to be an active, daily advocate!

Truth About Vaping - EMERGENCY ALERT
Sometimes politics leaves me with a really rotten taste in my mouth. Current events in California is just the type of politics I'm thinking of. I get really frustrated when it's all about the money and not about the people!
Today it does not matter if you're in California or somewhere else. Today's project is to spend a couple of minutes and watch a video and educate yourself. Any one who has watched old movies has heard the expression "READY, AIM, FIRE!". Watch the video and start following the groups it mentions, and be ready for the next step. It's very true, "if it can happen in California, it can happen anywhere". It's a train we must all work together to stop!

#StoryForChange - Surgeon General Seeks Quit Smoking Stories
OK Vapers.... fire off a quick tweet with your quit smoking by vaping story. Be sure to include the #StoryForChange hashtag in your tweet! These stories are requested by our U.S. Surgeon General!
Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, MD, MBA, serves as America’s doctor, providing info to improve public health & leading the USPHS Commissioned Corps.
Anybody wondering why we would do this??? Well, it's a numbers game and here's a great opportunity to remind the government of how many of us are living healthier and longer lives as ex-smokers (and people who smoke less).
There, your quick advocacy trip is done for the day!
Ahhhhh, feels good to have our voices heard, doesn't it? :)

Vote NO Day
Today's trip down the advocacy trail finds us stopping in the small town of Baxter, MN population 7,781. Baxter boarders the larger town of Brainerd which has a population of 13,487. The two towns support 4 dedicated vape shops.
These communities are highly dependent on the tourist industry, so the area vape shops have invited everyone to participate in the poll published by the local paper, The Brainerd Dispatch. The poll is on the right side of this article Baxter City Coucil: Baxter looks at restricting e-cigs and is titled: "Should e-cigarettes be restricted like regular cigarettes?"
Several of the Baxter area hotels have submitted a letter to the Baxter city council requesting the the council write an ordinance to include vaping as part of the clean indoor air act. This would mean that local businesses could no longer decide if they want to allow indoor vaping or not. One of the things the owners / managers of the hotels told the Baxter city council is "It is also well-documented that not only nicotine, but controlled substances such as marijuana and hashish oils are commonly used in them." (Emphasis is my own)
The goal of a facebook event Vote NO Day - "Should e-cigs be regulated like regular cigarettes" is to achieve 1000 votes by the end of the day.
Vape On!
