Nanny State PING!!!!!!
An email letter I received concerning Huckabee - 2008
Huckabee supported and signed into law the Clean Indoor Air Act of 2006, which prohibits smoking in most Arkansas workplaces. He said the other night that he supports banning smoking in all public spaces. I could never vote for Huckabee because he would only further perpetuate the discrimination and hostility towards smokers. When you consider that 20% of the American voters smoke, I do not believe he can be elected by offending such a large segment of the population. By his stand on smoking he has also demonstrated to me that he is not an independent thinker. If he had done his own research on secondhand smoke, he would have discovered that there is a great number of credible studies proving that secondhand smoke is not harmful. We have to spread the word that he will be hostile to smokers.
Thanks for the ping!
