New Co-Sponsors for H.R. 1639 (115 and counting) have said "Yes" to liberty

Friday, November 18 2011

Fairfax, VA -- With new waves of rules and regulations already flowing from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration – Center for Tobacco Products, we know it is only a matter of time before premium/traditional cigars come under ‘direct' attack from the heavy hand of this activist federal bureaucracy. Make no mistake – prohibition is their objective.

H.R. 1639 and S. 1461 is the only thing standing between the power of a federal agency, and your home or shop humidor.

With the help of an outstanding team from the International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers Association that included manufacturers and retail tobacconists from North Carolina, Kentucky, Florida, Virginia, Washington, DC, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Texas, Tennessee, Illinois, California and Kansas, along with such notables as Rob Levin, President of Ashton Distributors and Marvin Samel of Drew Estate Cigars, it was another productive week for new co-sponsors to H.R. 1639, but even greater that the legislation has over 115 co-sponsors!

We welcome Representatives: Richard Hanna of New York, Diane Black of Tennessee, Steve Chabot of Ohio, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Michael Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Shelley Berkley of Nevada, Todd Akin of Missouri, Ted Poe of Texas, Larry Kissell of North Carolina, Bill Huizenga of Michigan, William Owens of New York, Geoff Davis of Kentucky, Robert Brady of Pennsylvania, and Rick Crawford of Arkansas, as new co-sponsors.
