Cigar Legislation : ‘Operation Cigar Liberty’ Continues Its March Forward: CRA Releases List Of Those That Ought To Be On H.R. 1639

‘Operation Cigar Liberty’ Continues Its March Forward: CRA Releases List Of Those That Ought To Be On H.R. 1639

We are at a crucial juncture for the legislation to protect premium cigars from the heavy hand of the legion of bureaucrats at the U.S. Food & Drug Administration that want to change (and not for the better) the world of cigars, forever.

The following represents a list of 96 key Members of the U.S. House of Representatives from 36 states that we hope CRA’s national membership will call and email, especially if you are a constituent, asking that they serve as a co-sponsor of H.R. 1639. We will be pounding the pavement in Washington , DC , and if you hear from any of them, let us know. We’ll follow up with their office. You have sent 192,000 messages to Congress, and they’re listening. But we can’t stop now…

Use the web link for each member to find their State District Offices. Call them too. Schedule a meeting with them, to say how important protecting cigars from the FDA, really is. Invite Members of Congress into your local cigar shop over the July 4 break. Round up a bunch of your cigar loving brethren, and send a message – “Tell the FDA to leave my cigars, alone!”
With a record 205 sponsors and co-sponsors, spanning 38 states from all ends of the political spectrum, you, the passionate cigar enthusiasts of America, have proven that protecting cigars from the federal government, is not a partisan issue. It is a matter of choice, and passion. Please Act Now!
