Looks like the bill passed the house by 90% yes votes.
Only thing to do now is watch while it passes the senate, then watch as Mr. president signs it into law..... or contact your senator, as if it would influence their vote.

The Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act of 2009 ("PACT Act") (S.1147) is scheduled for consideration by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday, November 5th.
This legislation contains, among other bad ideas, a provision which would make ALL cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products nonmailable. This bill has already been passed by the House, and if approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee, could be sent to the full Senate floor for a vote at any time!

Don't the postal workers have a union that could be notified about this legislation? It looks like they would want to get involved in stopping it. The USPS is already having trouble making ends meet and a further reduction of their business is not going to help.

I have no idea about that, but it's a lil too late to inform them. The senate judiciary committee is going to discuss this tomorrow morning.
Don't the native americans have a union? How are they going to make a living?

I would think they have an organized way of opposing bills like this, because the government tries to ruin their livelihood all the time. I was reading a story somewhere--I don't remember where--that claimed the PACT act was racially discriminatory because it will shut down mainly Native American businesses. From the standpoint of Native Americans, it's a complete act of hostility aimed at them.

The whole point is just to entrap us and force us to endure governmental punishment and excessive taxation. The perverts don't want us to have any way to escape their abuse.

The Congressman that brought this bill up has the Postal Unions as his biggest campaign contributor.

Go figure.....

I find this to be insanity. My mother got hit with a 10k tax bill because she was buying her cigs online supposedly tax free. 10,000.00 dollars is a LOT of money! [/url]
