A: An Extensive Regulatory Agenda
From the Daily Caller:
Cigar Lovers, industry unite to snuff out FDA regulatory Agenda
Cigar smokers are mad as hell, and they aren’t going to take it anymore. Faced with an unprecedented assault on their guilty pleasure from President Barack Obama’s Food and Drug Administration, aficionados and industry insiders told The Daily Caller that they’re picking up their torch lighters and revolting.
Usually divided by their preferences for mild, medium and full-bodied smokes, they’re uniting against regulations that threaten to make cigars prohibitively expensive, shut down scores of small cigar shops, jeopardize tens of thousands of jobs and erase the traditionally bright line between Camels and Cohibas.
Cigar lovers are also recruiting members of Congress to defend what public health activists and anti-cancer crusaders see as little more than gentrified cigarettes smoked by economic one-percenters.

Cigar Rights of America-Fighting for You!!
This week Glynn Loope and the Cigar Rights of America team garnered the support of Mary Landrieu, D-Louisiana for Senate Bill 1461 the US Senate counter part of H.R. 1639. Mrs. Landrieu is a key member of the United States Senate because she is the chairwoman of the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Committee. Her support will help lend legitimacy to the fight to protect premium cigars and also gives the movement more support from the folks who are so called "across the aisle."
Senator Landrieu's support for S. 1461 comes at a critical juncture for the legislation, as now we need for all CRA members to be contacting the office of their members of the US Senate, asking that they too, serve as a co-sponsor on S. 1461.
