[Vision2020] HR 1108, Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act

[Tom Hansen]

Greetings Visionaires -

Remember last Sunday when I posted an email, subject: Is the Bush 
Administration Blowing Smoke, with an article by Bob Schieffer informing 
us that the House of Representatives is going to vote this week on 
providing the Food and Drug Administration power to regulate the tobacco 
industry?

I closed out that email with a simple rhetorical question:

"Any bets on how Idaho's Rep. Bill Sali will vote?"

Well, HR 1108 came to a vote yesterday and . . .

HR 1108 - Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (To protect 
the public health by providing the Food and Drug Administration with 
certain authority to regulate tobacco products)

http://thomas.loc.gov/home/gpoxmlc110/h1108_ih.xml

The final vote:

Ayes - 326
Nays - 102
No Vote - 6

Idaho's Bill Sali voted against this bill and against the health of our 
children.

Keep Idaho green and healthy.  Vote "NO" on Sali in November.

Seeya at Farmers' Market, Moscow.
