I emailed everyone on the judiciary commitee, as well as the congressmen and senator, in my state. I Called my Rep. John Boozmans' office, and had a lengthy conversation with an aid, who assured me that my voice would be heard. We have talked before, on several issues, and I am well known by all his aids. LOL

Wrote everyone on the judiciary committee as well as all the NM Reps and Congressmen (and women). Didn't hear a thing back from anyone, but didn't expect to really. Hopefully something good will come out of all this.

I wrote my c-man and got a non-commital reply in which I was left with the impression he wouldn't want the cigar language to be added. I'm pretty sure the man's a cigar smoker so we've got a leg up there.

I have a friend that is interning for one of my Senators, so it was easy...and it was hand-delivered to her. I have heard nothing back, but I tried. Washington was not on the list of senator addresses so hopefully us Washingtonians get a say toooo!

Thanks Hog

E-mailed my congressman and the goon running the judiciary committee! Got a BS auto-reply in return from my "home-boy," but HEY, they're busy up there on the hill solving the world's problems, don't you know?!?!? They don't have time to waste on some bonehead in Pike Road, Alabama, who's worried about getting his cigars through the mail!!! Of course, if there was a little political payoff here -- the kind lobbyists bring to the negotiatin' table -- then look out!!! [Just my pessimistic take on the situation anyways!]

And now I'm thinkin' about voting for you HOG!!!! Let me know when I need to act!
