I just sent the following email to "About the Partnership For A Tobacco Free Maine... "

If you and Human Services and Partnership for a Tobacco Free Maine are SO against adults who choose to smoke, (and also who feed billions of dollars into the state coffers with OUR tax money), why don't you just BAN it? Pull it off the shelves and be done with it!

I would really like an answer to this. If you are telling us that tobacco is such a killer, then BAN it! Take it off the market. Then you will have to go after some other poor suckers and dig into THEIR wallets for your money.

Too bad you don't devote more time to teen drinking and driving. Maine is losing a lot of youth because they end up in twisted pieces of metal from being drunk or on drugs.

There are plenty of us in Maine that are really fed up with your group and the miss-use of our tax dollars that you use against us just because we choose to smoke a LEGAL product.

Go ahead. BAN it! Then you and the Governor will have to balance the budget on someone ELSE'S shoulders!

I will post any reply that I should get. But we ALL know it will be more propaganda, don't we?!

I think it's about time you seriously contemplated running for office. Even if you don't win, you may get some of the issues out before more of the general public on how they are giving cushy jobs to their cronies on taxpayer $$$'s.

Keep those letters. They'll make GREAT campaign posters as you tell Mary Bourque she hasn't lost her right to smoke-free air for she has the right to open her very own smoke-free establishment.
