Advocacy for Some, Cali for others

Another big day for California, and in many ways, all of vaping. For those of you in Cali, I hope 1000 of you are on your way to the capitol to show solidarity against these bills that are pure evil for the vaping industry. I hope ALL of you have followed CASAA's call to action and have e-mailed, called, faxed, or mailed letters to your representatives and senators.

Those of us who are not in Cali are waiting for news. We are sending all of you positive thoughts, prayers, good wishes, and hope. I sent out a little tweet this morning in support of all of you...

Vaping Saves Lives. E-cigs are NOT tobacco products. This is about lives NOT revenue. #killthebill #StopAB6 #vapingisnotsmoking #CAleg

Tonight, all of us can sit down and listen to the show "Attainable Advocacy". They will be talking about California, ECC, The "Health" News coming out of the UK, and what ever other topics come up. Always and interesting show.  Tonight August 25th at 9PM Eastern, join them for the show at http://theohmpage.com/live!

You can watch previous shows on their YouTube channel

Good Luck Cali, we are thinking of you today!

So any choices................

For those of you who have reached the status of ex-smoker, there is a new facebook group to encourage people to sponsor a smoker and help them quit. You can find it here: Sponsor a Smoker Link. I just LOVE this idea and have a couple sponsored.

If you live in California, have family / friends / business associates in California, you really need to pay attention to the special session going on. Hopefully a HUGE number of vapers show up at the capitol in Cali tomorrow. Non-residents of Cali can still contact the state and discuss where you spend your tourism dollars and why. You can talk about WHY vaping is not a tobacco product and the responsibility Cali has to set a TRUE example to the rest of the country, not pass laws based upon lies. You can tweet, facebook, etc. Check out your favorite advocacy organizations for info. Not Blowing Smoke, CASAA, AVA, SFATA, Vaping Militia, Etc. This battle is HUGE folks!

Momma Vape, over and out!

B&M and online stories

Next time you go into your local vape shop, I want you to resist the urge to tell the shop about what you bought for such a good deal online. I want you to NOT take your online stuff and expect your local shop to teach you how to use it or to fix it for you or take it in on warranty for you. It seems there are a few vapers out there that forget that a shop has overhead which some bargain basement sellers do not. Momma Vape feels bad for shop staff that is constantly made to feel second staff because the shop needs to make enough money to stay in business. Momma Vape expects all of us to be more sensitive of others feelings.

Hope you had a good weekend!

Your Turn!

By now, Momma thinks you've had enough suggestions of things you can do to advocate for vaping. She's going to let you spread your wings and fly!!!!! Today, you pick a project. You can do it, I know you can!!!!! I am spending my day cheering on a few folks who have just started on their vaping adventure, who are trying to quit smoking. I am going to fill the cheerleader shoes today, offering lots of praise and encouragement.

Enjoy your weekend!

Big Day Today

Many eyes are directed towards California today. There are many bills on the table that would be bad for vaping. I'm sure many business owners out there are holding their breath. If you are in Cali and can make it to the special session today GO! If you can't, get those phone calls made NOW, there is only a couple of hours to go before the session starts. Fax, e-mail, your representatives need to know that vaping is not smoking, we should not be lumped in with the tobacco industry. If you have family and friends who support your vaping, they should also be calling. For those of us who are not in Cali, we can help spread the word, we can be sure we are tweeting #CALeg in all our tweets. We can hope, pray, send out positive thoughts.

Good Luck Cali We're rooting for you!!!
