Dear Mr. Pritchard,
I do not smoke, nor do I drink for that matter. However, I am very concerned about the ongoing attacks upon private property rights that have been occurring in the U.S. as of late. To me, smoking bans are a part of this attack. The bans, as you know, are based upon a lack of scientific evidence. I also know that bans do hurt some businesses financially. I am applying for Regular membership in your organization.
Georgia has already been screwed over, though it could have been worse. Had Georgia had preemption like Tennessee, I think that it could have held out longer. The battle may come to Tennessee too, and when it does I hope that your organization emphasizes not only the horrible economic impact that bans have but also the fact that "Second Hand Smoke" is NOT a threat.
At least during Prohibition Americans did not witness the hypocrisy of the government still allowing the selling of the product that was banned. Good grief! I guess those massively inflated cigarette taxes are just to tempting to pass up.

Letter for HELP from The Smoker's Club, Inc.
Howdy,
Please send a handout to me today:

This is crucial and we need you, as freedom loving people interested in your property rights, to stand with us. Help us make the Newsletter a bigger and better place. Never in history has a section of the population this large needed to come together to stand up for our rights.
I hate begging for money letters, I'd rather have a root canal then ask for money. But I'm afraid I have no choice. We are growing so fast that all growth has to stop without funds to pay for computer equipment and more server space.
Please write me out a check or money order and mail it today. I'm not asking for a lot from anyone, just $5, or more if you can. If you can't, I understand. I have less then that in my wallet right now and have even taken my car off the road to pay computer bills. I just can't do it alone any more. The tobacco companies won't help their own customers. Antis want you to think there is only their side to the issues. Guess what? It's not working, that's why our computer demands have caused me to write this awful letter begging for help. Please send money, or buy advertising space from us, or help in some other way for the cause. If we don't grow, we are helping "them" to take away one of our rights after another until there is nothing left.
Please help, and send this to all your friends.
Thank you,
Samantha
