I just called every Pubbie's office on the HJC all morning. Their folks were of course all very nice....particularly the sweet girl at Marsha Blackburn's office (mine) and everyone of them knew immediately what I was calling about when I said bill 2824 and said that no Pubbie on that committee supported the cigar language and a few offered that it was well known from the top Pubbies in the House that this bill with that language would not fly in the House..no way.

We shall see. Maybe they were blowing smoke up my arse. A few volunteered that several of the Congressmen were themsleves stogie lovers or had family members in an uproar over this.

I told them that while we were small in numbers that we were overwhelmingly conservative. They all said they knew that.

No one knew who or how the language got into the Senate bill.

Regards All.
