Irvin Belanger, I just went 5 rounds with him this week over the Fraser Mill, now this, this guy really starting to P.M.O., Working in Clayton Lake Mon-Tues, but will be in Caribou area Wed, shall see if I can find him or his weasels to arm twist for a while...

This is the email I sent ole Irvin this morning:

Dear Irvin,
I was just sent this URL about the Human Services Announcement and their Smoke Free Restaurant Bill:

http://www.state.me.us/dhs/smokefree%20.htm
 
Irvin, all the restaurants in Maine HAVE been smoke free for several years now.  What floors me is that YOU are a co-sponsor! I don't care what you think about smoking personally, but this bill is WRONG!
 
Don't you believe that it should be up to the owner to make his business smoke free or not?  Why does Human Services have to stick their nose into this!
 
We are not all sheeple out here, Irvin!  This is just another reason for the Health Department to continue receiving funding from the Tobacco Settlement to which WE SMOKERS ARE PAYING FOR 100% PERCENT!
 
"Secondhand smoke kills, on average, one Maine person per day," explained Bureau of Health Director Dora Mills, MD. " (Show me the study and I will show you the truth).
 
This is BS, Irvin!  The Federal Court threw out the EPA's 1993 ETS study in 1998 the link made by the EPA Report in 1993 between secondary smoke and cancer was thrown out in a federal court because the statistics were bent to support a predetermined conclusion and normal scientific guidelines were ignored.
 
I think any sponsor who tries to dismiss the findings of the U.S. Department of Energy labs at Oak Ridge, should be confronted with the question: "Are you saying that DOE researchers committed scientific fraud and that their findings on ETS exposure are untrue?"

I'd like to see what the Human Services would say in response to that question.

I am appalled, Irvin, that you are apart of this.  A Conservative at that. The only reason you will EVER get my vote is because I do not want the Democrats to get another seat.

Also, I am putting this on my Internet Site at Free Republic to let the people in Maine know just where you stand on this.  The people in Maine are NOT happy with the government control.  We are fed up.

You really disappoint me.

I sent the same email to Joe Bruno as well, although I can't give him my vote. At least he will know that I am pissed off about this!

Go prepared, spartan. Arm yourself with the information on SheLion's website and let them know WE know this ain't about smoking...it's about POWER! And, we the people, intend to take it back.
