December 8, 2005 ( We are BOYCOTTING THE STATE of IL as of 1/1/2006/)
Greetings to all Chicago Aldermen, and/or
Officials,
I was born in Evanston, IL. I still have
relatives around Chicago, and in Park Ridge, and Deerfield, though I now live in
Kentucky. I also show dogs, and travel ALOT (40,000 miles last
year). I spend LOTS of $ on these trips. You can see us - Hosanna
Afghan Hounds - here: http://www.hosanna1.com/ . I come to or through your
state frequently, either attending shows in IL, or on my way to shows in
other states. I was in Belleville, IL just this past weekend. I will be in Wheaton for several days next week. I have
been very interested in your debates over the proposed smoking ban on private
properties.
Smoker's BOYCOTT of
the entire state of Illinois INFO-Click Here, since you have approved a smoking
ban in Chicago.
The whole 'health' issue is based on lies.
Even the World Health Organization is LYING about THEIR OWN study. Many
folks are about fed up with all the lying about smoke and smoking.
For past 15 years or so, we have already had a drop of about 50% in smoking, and about 75% drop in indoor smoke (due to VOLUNTARY actions). We should ALREADY see some good health effects. Guess what - we DO NOT. Asthma is UP about 500%. Lung cancer is still going UP - and it is a big fat LIE that 'smoking is a primary cause' of it. GENETICS is the PRIMARY cause of it - even though it's possible smoking along with dozens of other things might be a trigger. Alcohol correlates much more highly with lung cancer, and also most of the other cancers that are being blamed on smoking. There is a brand new study JUST RELEASED showing the 'Helena miracle' (so called) was BUNK. http://kuneman.smokersclub.com/hospitaladmissions2.html.

WHY are they LYING??? http://www.aalf.ws/antibrains/

and follow the BIG MONEY)
When I say I will boycott
ILLINOIS, I do not simply mean bars. I don't drink alcohol - but notice I am NOT calling
for alcohol prohibition, with bootlegging, black market, and the mafia such as
we had in the 1930s. I DO NOT want to see such a thing
with SMOKING, either, but IF things keep up as they are I am AFRAID THAT IS WHAT
WE ARE GOING TO GET. Do YOU REALLY THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA??? I
sure hope NOT. Please reply, and let me know. (so far no replies :
(
TOTAL BOYCOTT means that I will no longer come to
shows, nor to visit my relatives in IL. There are thousands of shows all
over the USA - and my relatives can come to visit me if they want to see
me. If I am forced to drive THROUGH IL, I will be sure to top off my gas
tank before crossing the state line. I always have a cooler, and will
bring my food so I won't have to buy anything. I'll get my ice and coffee,
or whatever I need at RETAIL STORES IN SOME OTHER
STATE that has not removed people's private
property rights due to health LIES LIES. Of course, I will not stay in any
motels in your state, either. We are a family of 6, and I often have
several children with me on trips, so I am not just spending for one,
either. When at home in Kentucky, and ordering online, or from
catalogs (which I do ALOT OF), I will pay attention and not order from ANY
COMPANY THAT IS BASED IN IL. I will be voting with my dollars in every way
I am able to, and will ALSO post this information on my top search engine ranked
websites, and also publicize on my email lists, and on all my travels. I
am handing out flyers and cards, and talking to folks everywhere I go.
This past year, we were in (besides several trips
to IL) about 3/4 of all the states - from Vermont to California, Florida, and
even Mexico.
I usually only boycott those states with statewide
bans. I am making an exception for Chicago though, as it's one of the
biggest cities in the USA, I was born so close to it, and I have
sympathy for the REST of the taxpayers in IL, who I
know will soon and in future be making up for the economic
shortfalls generated by CHICAGO's smoking ban.
California's ban has cost them about 100 BILLION
dollars SO FAR. This is because over past ten years they have
about 3,000 fewer restaurants and bars than they SHOULD have based on their
economic growth over that time period. There is a very interesting study about
these economic impacts here: http://www.aalf.ws/smoking/bancostsCA100billiondollars/
What is interesting, is these economic effects have
NOT been any result of ANY 'boycott', nor organized action of any kind.
They are simply the aggregate effects of the changes in behavior of lots of
people. Wonder what will happen if folks who are sick and tired of
being abused, oppressed, and LIED TO get MAD and begin to vote with their
dollars ON PURPOSE? And NOT JUST bars and restaurants.
Don't know how long it will take to catch on, but some of us have HAD IT
with the Nico Nazis, and are ready to take
actions. I am one of those.
And, even after about 30 years of anti-smoking
propaganda, something like 25% of the total population is STILL SMOKING. I
doubt they are all going to quit - no matter what. I have no intention of
it. So, there are at the moment something like 60 MILLION folks
who still smoke - and more and more are
getting to the end of their rope (with the propaganda and ABUSE)
every day. Not to mention they have many
non-smoking friends and family - so total number of
dollars available to vote with is VERY
significant. There are only 2 smokers in our family - but we are SPENDING for SIX. This means
the 60 MILLION smokers + family and friends could easily add up
to as many as 1/2 of the entire population of the USA.
We will get more
organized and VOTE NICO-NAZIS OUT OF EVERY OFFICE.
