"E-mail RJR as a MO stockholder. Say, you did good. " DK, already wrote a letter to him, a letter to Bible and two letters to the WSJ and the NYTimes. If you have Goldstone's or Bible's email address, by all means, please share, I prefer to email them. I, for one, am standing behind MO et al on this one. I haven't felt this strongly about something in a long time. Let's get behind them on this, I'm sick of seeing Koop's pompous ass on TV! McCain even admitted on Nightline last night that they excluded tobacco from negotiations on his bill because that would give the industry "veto power" and his committee wanted to draft the "simplest" form of legislation it could! Simple my ass! Raising prices will not have that much affect on teenage smoking! I know, I am only 22 -- never smoked, 5 of my 6 closest friends do, but say price won't stop them. Whatever happened to enforcement of the "18 or over" law? Another one on the books that the government lacked the initiative to enforce? Tax, tax, tax, and the worst thing is that most of the money made for the government via the "settlement" wouldn't even go directly to smoking-related health services, etc.! As you can see I'm a little fired up. Tobacco is fighting for us, the individuals, and are saying "enough is enough!" GO BIG MO! THANK YOU MR. GOLDSTONE, YOU'RE ALRIGHT IN MY BOOK! GEOFF!

Clinton is a hypocrite with no leadership skills. I've seen him on the golf course ( courtesy of CNN ) with a BIG CIGAR in his mouth. Clinton is playing the same game here he played in 93 on the health care issue. He supports just about every proposal that comes out of Congress as long as its intent is to limit teenage smoking! Liability protection for the tobacco industry is supported by Clinton too, as well as no liability protection. The end result will be the same as 93: Nothing will pass, because there will be too many divergent proposals on the table and no leadership to bring together the common points of agreement. The end result: MO will rally sharpely as the whole deal goes up in smoke. I have a very big stake in MO and consider it to be the best and cheapest stock on the Big Board, considering its growth potential. As an American, I'm disappointed by the Governments Totalitarian and Undemocratic policies. In the end, MO will come out a big winner here.
