Help Stop The Pipe Tobacco Tax Increase

[glassjapan]

After what they did to the roll your own folks, the pipe smokers will be next and I doubt they're going to stop there. The cigar community, myself included better stand up and take notice.


"In Germany, they first came for the gypsies, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a gypsy. Then they came for the Bolsheviks, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Bolshevik. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics. I didn't speak up then because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak up." - Martin Niemoller, A Lutheran Pastor arrested by the Gestapo in 1937

indeed.

but this "act" is to ensnare the "roll your own" folks (again). they re-branded the roll your own tobacco as "pipe tobacco". so, now they're going after ALL pipe tobacco.

i just remembered that i'm a "fan" of my districts representative on facebook and just posted a question to her on her wall, asking where she stands on the subject. she's a fiscal conservative, should be interesting to see if she responds at all, and with what.
