    I think that's wishful thinking these days. I think, with few exceptions, that they represent the party line and their own self interests - like somehow always getting filthy rich while 'serving' in office. This is a problem with the establishment in both parties and it is the reason that the Big Orange Middle Finger was elected, still remains popular, and probably will be elected again if he decides to run.

    Speak up and speak out.

    Do it in a professional and courteous manner: don't give them (their aides) a reason to discount it.

    Pre-done forms are great, but always change a couple lines/subject title with your own words - they may track how many duplicate responses they receive in an attempt to marginalize them.

    I wonder what good it even does in many cases. My congressmen are party line demonrats who never saw a tax increase they didn't like. They'll vote party line on this no matter how many calls they get.

    Now for the good news: I've seen this coming for years. I have more pipe tobacco than I could ever smoke and plenty of cigars. And tho I'd probably run out of cigars eventually, it will be a long, long time at the rate I go thru them.

    Any of you looking to stock up better do it now because if this passes there will be a run on cigars that'll compare to 9mm ammo.

    So here they (da gubmint) are proposing a massive tax increase on tobacco and what should come back in stock but a couple of my favorite G&H blends. BUY, BUY, BUY!!! Even tho I hardly need more tobacco.

    You know I am glad that the tax is removed but I like how it was based on weight maybe that will stop all these stupid giant cigars

    I vote NO on every tax increase that is on a ballot and have done so for years. Not that it has done any good, but I get to vote again Tuesday with a NO.
